We all have those people we just want to avoid, and be as far away from as possible. Here are some ways to keep those creeps away!
1. Speak in a different language
This works if you send a message in a language that the person doesn't know. You don't even have to send a complete sentence! It could just be a few words that confuse them!
2. Send an error message

Error 91381: the user you want to reach doesn't want to talk to you. Please contact your operator or someone else.
Sometimes you have to send this one multiple times, but each time you can add a new funny comment after the message! This will make avoiding the person entertaining!
3. Move away
The post desperate option is to move to a new country, change your name, dye your hair and become a whole new person. Now I wouldn't recommend this one unless you are completely desperate
4. Say you have a boyfriend/girlfriend

With this one it is best to have a photo of you and a person that can be your fake boyfriend/ girlfriend. Usually if a person has some kind of proof they will back off.
5. Say that they have the wrong number
Person: Hey
You: Wrong number
Person: Is this not so and so?
You: No it is, I just never wanted to speak to you again.
This is guaranteed to shut anyone down. I can tell you from personal experience that this works every time!
If none of these work I would suggest blocking the person from everything and changing your identity.
