'His jaw was on the floor': Small business owner scams guy out of $400, loses $15,000

Sometimes it's amazing just how much force a karmic pendulum can swing back with, paying you back for your misdeeds ten-fold.

This thread was posted to Reddit's r/ProRevenge subreddit by the avenger's friend, Redditor u/Three-Nations, who tells the story of how their friend got even with a scammer after the scammer tried to cheat them over a used water heater that they had sold. The scammer came back several weeks after the sale, trying to tell the friend that it was not working. The friend offered a full refund for the sale. Instead, they received a $400 invoice for the "repairs" of the water heater and told the friend that if it was not sent over, they were going to send them to debt collection. The friend decided just to pay the invoice and let that be the end of things—until they overheard a conversation in a bar… A loudmouth employee of the scammer's company told him that the entire ordeal had been a scam and even confirmed the scammer was her boss who owned the company.

This would lay the foundations for revenge the scammer would never forget. Next, check out this contractor who got nuclear revenge on a scamming client who refused to pay.
