Need advice
I was talking to this guy I met off an app and we started to hit it off. I gave him my phone number and email when he requested to continue talking. He ended up sending me a check over email which I never cashed because it was… odd to say the least. He was not a fan of me not accepting the check and would frequently ask me if I’d deposited it. Things weren’t adding up and then he shared he was looking to be a sugar daddy and was going to start a trading account for me on cashapp (I did not ask for or want this and I explicitly stated this multiple times).
The situation escalated when I tried to fully end the relationship. He shared that I couldn’t leave until I paid him back for the check. I refused since I never accepted or cashed the check or any other money from them, as I was already weary of the scam. But he threatened physical violence against me (“Would hate to see something happen to that cute face”). Because I was afraid, I stupidly decided to try and just send him the money hoping he’d leave me alone. He shared after I sent him the amount he wanted that he had “redirected his wallet” and that the payment was “on the blockchain.” He was only accepting payment through there on cashapp. I’m not familiar with the terms fully.
Because money was sent I said we were even, I tried to go our separate ways. This is when he started saying he didn’t receive it and needed the money immediately and asking for bigger amounts (classic scamming behavior). It’s at this point I officially blocked him.
Fast forward to the next morning, I get a text from a new number but clearly him with my mom’s address (I don’t live there, but it’s my legal address, assuming he found it using my name/number/email) and a threatening message. While I believe this is just a threatening ploy to get my attention and exploit me for more money, I am scared because of the threats of violence against me that this person has sent.
Actions taken: I called the non-emergency line and filed an official police report regarding the online threats and harassment. I also called my mom and explained the situation and to be cautious if she sees anyone she doesn’t recognize at her house. The person is blocked (both numbers and on all apps) and I will continue to block and ignore any messages this person sends.
While I think these are empty threats to intimidate me into sending them money, I want to know if there is anything else I can do to ensure my safety and my mom’s safety. I am still scared they will try and show up. A lot of other posts I’ve read said they will not show up, but I’m still going to be cautious and I need to hear what else I can do to protect myself now that I have blocked all communication with this person/people. Sorry for the long message and thank you in advance.
