Caversham resident Ray Houben said the AOS callout was part of a campaign of false 111 reports which started when he fell out with an acquaintance he played Dungeons and Dragons with.
Mr Houben has had ambulances, firefighters, and armed police turn up at his door. However, he said too little has been done.
Police said they had spoken the perpetrator and given him a formal warning, but Mr Houben said it was just "a slap over the wrist with a wet bus ticket", and the incident called for a more serious response.
About six months ago, Mr Houben became the target of a series of malicious fake emergency service calls, where first responders would be called to his home for a variety of reasons.
First, Hato Hone St John was called after someone said he was "injured" — he was not injured.
Two weeks later, Mr Houben’s door was once again knocked on, and when he opened it there were about 12 firefighters on his front lawn and a couple of fire trucks blocking the road.
They said someone had called saying his home was on fire — his house was not on fire.
That is when he started to think "this is really weird".
About a week later, Mr Houben was started to hear a "hell of a bang, bang, bang".
He opened the door and armed police were on his doorsteps.
"I come out and I have two assault rifles pointed at me ... they said ‘we’ve had a call that you’re holding someone hostage and they’re injured’."
It was then he realised someone was "taking the mick" and making false 111 reports about his address.
It was discovered the 111 call that led to the AOS callout came from a phone box down the road.
Mr Houben reported this to the police and they later told him they had spoken to someone in relation to the calls.
However, he said there had been little to no action since.
"I gave it a couple of weeks — police are busy — and then I called the 105 number, but they said there was no file on it.
He said the misuse of emergency services was serious, and took much-needed resources away from somewhere where they were actually needed.
"What happens if there’s some nutter that’s armed and those armed police were needed somewhere else — but they’re too busy standing on my doorstep?
The same person responsible for the fake calls has since changed tactics and has started using Mr Houben’s name and contact details to book 10-table reservations at restaurants all over the country, signed him up to sponsor events such as Auckland Pride and the Bluff Oyster Festival, and advertised lambs for sale from his address.
A police spokeswoman said they have had a number of interactions with Mr Houben and had made inquiries into claims he had put to police.
"An individual was identified as being responsible for false reports to police in March, and was given a formal warning.
"Mr Houben was advised of this.
"We have also helped encourage him into seeking help with support services."
She said police had to treat every call as legitimate until it was determined it was not.
"Those found to be making misleading reports to police will be held to account if there is sufficient evidence to do so," she said.
