It is important to set boundaries and make it clear that you do not want to be contacted. If the person continues to contact you, it is important to document the attempts and contact the authorities if necessary. It is also important to reach out to friends and family for support and to ensure your safety.
However, if the person attempting to contact you has legal precedence for doing so, such as attempting to recuperate damages, or serving you with a summons to appear in court, then their attorney may continue to try to contact you in order to pursue further legal action.
If you break up with someone after lying to them, and they sent you money based on the lie, and they keep trying to find and talk to you through not only your contact but also the few friends and professional environments, what should you do?

What if the person is a seemingly powerful person in society or has more social sway than I do?
In a perfect legal system, societal power or societal sway should have no effect on the outcome of a case.
The outcome of the case should be decided by a fair judge (and/or jury) based purely on the facts relevant to the case.
In your example, if you have lied to someone, and you received money based on the lie, then you will be liable for damages (plus court costs, attorney fees, interest, etc.) regardless of the social standing of either party.
