Hi Lanisha, I understand your concern. Could you please tell me more about the situation? For instance, why are they threatening to sue you and where are you located? This will help me provide more accurate information.

Hello Lanisha, it seems like your message got cut off. Could you please clarify who is threatening you, what they're threatening to do, and where you're located? This will aid me in providing you with the most relevant legal guidance.

In Maryland, sharing someone's private phone number without their consent can be considered an invasion of privacy. This falls under:
- Intrusion upon seclusion
- Public disclosure of private facts
You may want to remove the phone number to avoid issues.
they’re phone number is also posted on their pages
Just because someone's phone number is publicly available doesn't necessarily protect you from a potential lawsuit. If they feel their privacy has been invaded, they might still take legal action. It's best to remove the number.
could i counter sue for damages as they threatened me
To counter sue, you must show that you suffered damages due to their actions. Threats to sue typically don't qualify. However, if their actions extended beyond threats (defamation, harassment, etc.), you might have a case. Consult a local attorney for specifics.
The text message thread included information about them causing me to have bald spots and ignoring it, then cancelling the partial refund.
Were the bald spots the result of a product or service they provided? This could be important for a potential personal injury or consumer protection claim. Also, have you sought any medical treatment?
it was a result of the service provider
If the service provider's actions directly caused your injury, you might be able to sue for negligence or breach of contract. Have you documented your injury and the subsequent communication with the service provider? This could be crucial evidence.
