Woman gets 2 am call from man she matched with on Hinge six months ago. He threatens to leak her number, but then she blocks him

Being a well-known person on the internet can be tricky. As someone who is very active on social media, a lot of your life is public, so you never know who’s watching you or using the information they collect against you.
TikTok user @creasisco had a very strange interaction with a man she last spoke to via message six months ago. This person had the nerve to randomly call her one day past midnight and shame her for talking about other men on TikTok. What’s even worse is that it turned out to be a prank, and when @creasisco tried to confront him about it, he threatened to doxx her. The sheer audacity!
TikTok user @creasisco received a 2 am call from a six-month-old Hinge match
On April 19, 2026, TikTok user @creasisco uploaded a video in which she expresses clear disgust at receiving a call from a man she had matched with on Hinge six months earlier. She received this call at 2 a.m. when she was half asleep. Her AirPods were in, and she heard the phone ringing and saw the name “Toby” flashing on her screen. She couldn’t remember who Toby was, but after some quick research, she realized it was her Hinge match. She reviewed their messages and saw that his last message to her was in November, six months prior.
After this background check, @creasisco finally picked up the phone, irritated, and said the usual “Hello” people say when they answer a call. Right after this, Toby asked @creasisco if she was “TikTok famous,” and Crea tried to play coy, saying she wasn’t. Toby then doubled down on his claims, saying that Crea’s videos “unfortunately” keep popping up on his “For You” page every day. Crea responded by asking what he meant by “unfortunately,” and he said he didn’t like that she talks about “other guys.” Confused by his comments at this point, Crea asked Toby what he meant and then heard some noises she believed came from Toby’s “homeboys,” who were giggling in the background, making her think Toby was prank calling her. Crea then says in the TikTok video that, after this, Toby suggested they go on a date and implied that Crea “wanted” her. Crea refused to fall for his mind games and didn’t entertain the idea, mentioning that he was dissing her work and everything else. Eventually, after Toby somewhat suggested that Crea should hang up and block him, she did, well, at least part of it; she didn’t block him. Instead, she texted him and asked him to call back to verify if the events that occurred with her concerning Toby were true. Later, when Toby called Crea, he threatened to leak her phone number on TikTok. However, Crea wasn’t too worried, as she believed she would be unaffected by any repercussions of the move, that is, if there were any.
