Report it to the mods ASAP

eclipsedstar · Answer

Then report the user that sent you that message. That is not possible, and even mods don't know that. Mods can only see your IP address, but even they don't know where you live.

Oh, and block the user too.

If they already know you in person, that is possible.  If you uload a picture with geotagged data, that is possible.  If you post ersonal information such as a phone number, email address, etc. it may even be possible.  Other than those things, it is generally pretty safe since the site does not make IPs available to other users.
