First, collect evidence.

First of all, when you receive harassing text messages, you should immediately take screenshots or take photos to save the evidence. These evidences include the content of the short message, the sender's mobile phone number, and the sending time. At the same time, keep phone call records and SMS records for future investigation or evidence collection.

Second, report to the communication operator.

After collecting the evidence, you can report it to the communication operator to which the mobile phone number that sent the harassing message belongs. Operators will investigate and deal with harassing short messages according to relevant regulations, and may take measures to restrict senders from sending short messages.

Third, the alarm processing

If harassing text messages involves insults, slanders, intimidation and other illegal and criminal acts, you can report the case directly to the public security organ. When reporting the case, the police will investigate and deal with the content of harassing short messages, sender information and collected evidence according to law.

Fourth, seek legal aid.

If harassing text messages has seriously affected your life and work, you can also seek legal assistance. Professional lawyers can help you assess the situation, provide legal advice and help you take further legal action.
