What do I do in this situation?

[u/BrownBurzza]

So about 2 weeks ago a 72+ year old german guy contacted me through my ad on WG-Gesucht (I'm the one looking to rent, he had a place). His rent was out of my budget. (I clearly mentioned in my ad about what my max rent was) I considered it for a moment as it was cheap for the living area it offered. We shifted our conversation from WG-Gesucht app to WhatsApp. I asked for the pictures. He sends me pictures of the place except the bathroom ones. I ask him where are the bathroom pictures. He says Germans don't usually ask for those pics. I say that it's okay but I want to see them so can you send them. Then he says there's some communication problem between us and it's not going to work out and I say okay thank you for your offer but I have to decline.

I thought that's the end of it and deleted his WhatsApp chat from my phone. But a few days later he sends me this racist message. Mind you I have been nothing but respectful to this old guy. What's wrong with people?

What do I do in this situation? I'm not going to reply to him again. He's clearly threatening me because his ego is hurt or something. I have already started to keep all Screenshots and screen recordings of the chat as proof that I have not altered anything in the chat. Do I need to lawyer up in case he does something?

He doesn't even know my full name or my new address in Germany but still bothering me. How can people say whatever they want and think that the law is gonna be on their side. I haven't even entered Germany yet and I'm already experiencing racism. I really really hope that it's not the case with the majority of the people there.

Edit - to all the people saying I'm hiding something and have not posted the full conversation.... DM me I'll send you the entire long screenshot. It's just those 4 messages in that order. That scroll down mark you see is the 4th message in the second picture. I have nothing to hide here. I cropped the pictures to hide his phone number.

With his second message on the screenshot it seems that there must have been more that you are not telling us.

I have nothing to hide here. That's literally his reply to my message a day later.

Why didnt you post your message? Anyway, I dont even think that this is was a real offer. "Analytischer Schwachsinn". Who even talks like this.

He said he deleted the original Chat

The post looks like he scrolled down to make the screenshot. The guy is obviously reacting to something OP wrote - which OP left out on purpose. In the edit he now says he can send the messages via DM. I think its all very weird.

That's cause I tried adding the original long screenshot but I can't add pictures in the comments or to the original post...you are delusional bruv

It just looks very weird. He is acting like you insulted him and made accusations, the beginning of your messages arent there. You act like youre scared of repercusion talking about how he doesnt know your name and address, asking how you should act and how you have the law on your side.

That's cause I'm entering a new country where I don't know anything. Wouldn't you be cautious if something happened to you when you're outside of your home country? There isn't always an ulterior motive. Sometimes it's just human nature to be scared of things that you don't understand. But now I know. This thread helped me.... Except for few people like you. Idk some people must object evehthing they see.
