Met the person on X.com offering a deal too good to be true. I then set the terms in my favour and proceeded to be harassed for hours trying to get me to buy an Apple gift card. Reported them
on x.com but the then found me and messaged me using an email. (go*************72@gmail.com). Malicious damage should be aware for the way the talked to me!

As Limnos said, this is not an Apple issue. You'd be getting harassed no matter what device you were using. This is what can happen when you give your personal information to a stranger on the Internet. Your only option at this point is to block the email address, if the scammer is using the same address all the time and your email service allows blocking, or use a spam filter or rule to send those messages to Trash, or to change your email address. As to being harassed via SMS text messages, SMS is a carrier service, not Apple's. See if your cell carrier can allow you to block the scammer's number (though scammers can use multiple numbers).

That was a scammer. I am not clear that this question/issue has anything to do with Apple.
I assumed it was a scam. But Apple have some responsibility as to the use of their iMessage service. I feel that Apple should be taking a better STS d against harassment.
It’s their technology - the are responsible for the good and the evil that comes from it.
