Comms Harassment
I don't want to break any rules and post screenshots. I've had a local resistance player harassing me via comms. He has insinuated that he knows what I drive, where I am because I play the game, and if I don't want him tracking me I need to stop playing.
He's gotten more aggressive recently and started accusing me of being a cheater and making fun of my actual name Jared. I've tried to downplay I've tried to offer to meet somewhere very public to exchange gear, and every time I try to be polite he just comes back harder. I haven't been playing that long, but it seems ridiculous that somebody in game comms can **** another player without tripping some sort of filter.
I've already taken actions with Niantic including blocking him, what should I do next? I don't want to have to stop playing, but my boyfriend is very concerned that I am in a game where somebody could track me down and attack me.

if u feel u are in danger u need to contact local law enforcement. also send a report to niantic support again with screens in comm.
You take down anchors with your main green account and use blue accounts to muck up the spine with blocking links. You've been reported to vanguards. Tick tock.
I did both of those and included a license plate #.
He's not in any danger. Just a guy who likes drama. This isn't even a real account posting.
Why would I use other accounts and how would i? Why are you threatening me, I've never done anything to you?
Hi!
First of all, don't panic. Unfourtunately, we all experienced some degree of harassment either via COMMS or in the street. I know this is a really unpleasant topic. Did that person tried to beat you in the real life, shout you or stalked you? If so, you can go to the police and fill a report. If that person goes into trial, you can send a report to Niantic, they may ban that account.
If not, you can still fill a report to Niantic but the weight would be much less in this case and they probably may ban the account.
If you know their RES POC, you can try to explain him/her what's going on and make POC enforce local rules. It's their job, if that person don't comply, then, they will surely kick them from their ranks.
If you have a local community around, talk with them and expose the trouble you are experiencing with this person, they will surely help. They may even give you some tips to deal with this.
I know that you may feel anxious or really worried sometimes, but take a deep breath, and don't let this to take over yourself. If you need help, you can write me to my TG account with the same nick.

Hi again,
I asked some agents and saw the evidence they had against you, I cannot think why would you joke with something as serious as harassment in real life. I experienced it and that's why I tried to help you.
What did I see? A multiaccount cheater who threw several RES links after an ENL account threw an anchor. I think @Azhreia may help you with this case, kiloecholima, she is really diligent and helpful, and may provide the guidance you need in this case.
