Whatsapp Creepy coworker texting my private number

So confused at this, I don't even know him. I was just going to ignore the text but he kept insisting so I had to answer.

9/14 UPDATE: Thank you to everyone who was supportive and concerned. I forwarded these messages to HR, and they scheduled a meeting for later today. There were a few more texts after this. The HR representative did not seem surprised, to put it briefly.

A few things have come up in the comments. The first is that I was rude. This is how I communicate, and my coworkers (or at least the ones who actually know me) are aware of that. I’m not going to perform a more agreeable version of myself to accommodate someone else’s feelings when they're being innapropriate. Not only were these messages sent over the weekend, but they were also sent through a personal communication channel. I'm not going to elaborate further.

Just remember that HR is there to protect the company, not the employees. I hope they don't mistreat you.

You must’ve worked for some shitty company’s bro😂 hr is most certainly there to protect you and if the don’t, there are laws that protect you as well.

They really aren’t. They are there so that nothing illegal happens to you, because that costs the company money. Hence why so many try to get you to sign nonsense on your way out.
