On social network X, a user named Jay posted a series of screenshots telling his story. It quickly caught the attention of the online community and went viral.
He mentioned meeting a person named Yami on the dating app Tinder, who preferred to communicate via WhatsApp and provided her number.
The next thing was Yami asking Jay for a “favour” of ₹ 1,000, claiming it was needed urgently for a few hours. Yami even provided a Google Pay number for the transfer.
The next screengrab showed Jay responding to the scammer by showing her a fake screenshot of a failed payment to “Yasmeen”.
Jay asked for ₹ 20 to confirm if “his Google Pay was working”. When Yami sent the amount, he immediately blocked her.
In a final screenshot, he shared a picture of a lit cigarette, purchased presumably with the same ₹ 20. The caption on the X post summed it up, “Scammer got scammed.”
The post has gone viral, with comments flooding in, commending Jay for outsmarting the fraudster.
