I use a Google voice # for all communications with companies and the like.

Unfortunately, I believe I was targeted by a scammer. While I ceased the convo before any true security breach occurred(i.e. sharing any personally identifiable info) I did exchange messages with them briefly and when I called them out on being a scammer they became threatening. While I know it’s certainly just bluster, none the less my anxiety is through the roof.

My anxiety is now running a bit rampant and just looking for guidance on how at risk I am of them being able to figure out my identity from my Google Voice #?

The Google voice # is not linked to my “real” phone number and I strictly use it to signup for mailing lists and the like.

Any guidance on the possibility of this/how I can verify on my end is much appreciated.
