What about threatening to send a text message with a private number?

You can complain to relevant departments or institutions, seek professional legal aid, and apply for personal information protection.

First of all, don't reply or call these private numbers easily. These numbers are often hidden means to collect companies or individuals, with the purpose of creating psychological pressure and making you feel panic and compromise. Once you reply or call these numbers, they may further harass you and even aggravate the threat.

Second, collect evidence and keep short message records. These short messages are direct evidence of threatening behavior, which will help you prove your innocence in the process of subsequent rights protection. At the same time, record the time, content and sender information of each threat for future inquiry.

Next, you can consider complaining to relevant departments or institutions. For example, you can report this illegal collection to the local consumer protection agency, public security organ or financial supervision agency. These departments will investigate and take corresponding measures according to the situation.

At the same time, seeking professional legal aid is also a wise choice. You can consult a lawyer to understand your rights and interests and coping strategies. Lawyers will provide you with professional legal advice and help according to your specific situation.

In addition, if you think your personal information has been leaked or abused, you can apply to the relevant departments for personal information protection. For example, you can complain to the national network information department or data protection agency and ask them to investigate and deal with the disclosure of personal information.

To sum up:

In the face of the threat of using private numbers to send text messages, we should stay calm, don't reply or dial private numbers easily, collect evidence, and keep short message records. You can complain to relevant departments or institutions, seek professional legal aid, and apply for personal information protection. It is important to protect one's rights and interests from the infringement and intimidation of illegal collection.
