First thing you do is pause. No matter how tempting, do not report anything, do not block it, and do not delete anything. You're gonna wanna screenshot all evidence of everything, save URLs of the original posts, save the profile names of those that are harassing you, save the fake phone numbers, save everything. Documenting is the most important part so you could get justice once you escalate. Second, you're gonna wanna invest in something incogni, something that finds and removes your personal private information online, addresses, phone numbers, anything that. If this conduct escalates to doxing or stalking and in-person harm, you don't want people to be able to find your address. Then you can report through the platforms only after documenting everything to try to get some content removed. At this point, it's vital to engage with a tech-focused and knowledgeable law firm. They may be able to help uncover who's behind this, advocate with platforms for removals, and escalate accordingly.
