No, No, No.....that, in my opinion, is wrong and especially if you
feel that he could become violent.  Look up your local police phone
number and give him/her that number is you feel compelled to give him
any.  First, if you give a fake number to a person who is violent,
what would he be like to the people he phones?  Would he believe they
were lying and you really do live there?  Would he get a reverse
address book and go over to the house and perhaps hurt someone? 
Also, what happens if he sees you again and you have given him the
fake phone number?  You could end up very hurt or worse.  

I don't think you should give any phone number unless you really want
the person to call you.  If you feel you have to, for whatever
reason, then give the number of the local fire department or police
station.  They at least can be more prepared for an angry, off the
wall type of person. 

What are other's opinions on this?
