Vinted help - threatening messages

I’ve been super stupid and brought something on Vinted using my home address as delivery. The item was not as described- picture different to item received. I started a return but the seller is now sending me threatening messages saying they will not refund me and are going to send people round to my house as they know where I live.
Fairly new to Vinted but can’t see where I can report them?
Any advice?

Take screenshots for the record & you can also report to the police

On the vinted app there is an i icon at the top right of the chat conversion, choose ‘report conversation’

Message the user that it's not up to them, Vinted decide and you've sent proof the item is not as described. Email screenshots clearly showing the username to legal@vinted.co.uk. Block the user. You may be able to get the seller's info from the tracking or having a look at their profile then going to Insta or Facebook to find out their name. They are trying to bully you and I doubt they are anywhere near you or would "send the boys round" for however much the item cost that is in dispute.

Any photos of guns? It's a common scam.

You poor thing, OP! Please report to Vinted, as Pp said. And yes, it may be worth involving the police if you have kept the messages. I use Vinted a lot and I had no idea this was going on, I'm shocked.
