When a Scammer Got Between a Woman and Her PS5, She Got Even

We are all looking for good internet deals, especially with things being so expensive or hard to get.

And we all know that if a deal seems too good to be true, then it probably is.

But sometimes people need a life-experience reminder to be cautious about what they buy over the internet.

It doesn’t usually work out as well as it did for artist Brittany Everette.

It all started when she couldn’t find a PS5 for sale–and she really wanted one.

So she decided to try an after-market deal she found through Twitter.

Everything seemed legit, so Brittany paid half of the price up front, and then waited anxiously for her new system to arrive.

There were red flags almost immediately.

They had agreed she would pay the rest on arrival, but he needed it sooner.

The sick kid angle seems like the oldest trick in the book, but Brittany has a good heart and decided to trust him.

He just had to send her concrete evidence that he’d mailed the gaming system.

He agreed, and again, it seemed legit, so she helped him out and paid the other half.

As soon as he had her money, though, he blocked her on Twitter and deleted her from his phone.

She was devastated and no one could help. Not her bank, not Apple Pay.

Brittany had made a terrible error in judgment, and she was down, but she wasn’t out.

Not yet.

She tried to contact him again, and this time she gave him an ultimatum.

Still, he ignored her.

So what could she do, but come up with a plan to torment him?

He even kept changing his username which seems like a lot of work, especially if you’re going to scam more than one person.

Clearly the guy wasn’t a professional.

Armed with that knowledge, Detective Brittany was on the case.

Remember the saying “Criminals are stupid”? Well, this fella didn’t cover his tracks very well.

Brittany even found his email address.

Then he really slipped up.

Whoops. Wrong move, buddy. Should’ve just gone dark.
Instead of filing a police report, she made up a law firm called PA & P Legal.

And then she contacted every email address she had found, including those belonging to his family members.

While Brittany will admit that her email was obviously fake, it’s a lot more official and professional sounding than the fraudulent voicemails I get these days.

Anyway, she turned off her phone and went to relax for awhile–until her scammer started trying to contact her husband.

Then the story takes quite a turn. The fiancée was not at all amused.

Mr. Con Man reached out, full of apologies and “woe is me.”

It seemed he was full of apologies, but not much else. He still “didn’t have” Brittany’s money.

So she tattled on him to his fiancée.

TL;DR: She warned him. And she got her money back.

Some commenters suggested she should have asked for MORE money, but she replied that then she would have been just as bad as he was, and although she still wanted a PS5, she was happy to just get her money back.

When asked what she learned from the experience, she said:

that ima just have to wait until 2025 for this gaming system bc I’m never buying from a reseller again 😂😂😂

The first moral of the story is, don’t try to take advantage of people.

The second moral of the story is, don’t settle for being taken advantage of.

Can you believe this crazy story? Would you have had the patience to con the guy into giving you your money back? Tell us in the comments!

Neighbors Paid the Price for Refusing to Turn Down the Heat

Being a good neighbor when everyone is in their own, single-family homes can be tough enough, some days, and people who share walls or buildings or other close-type quarters have my eternal sympathies.

This person lived next door to a commercial unit that was rented to the city, who in turn rented the space to the postal service.

Once they moved in there was a buzzing sound that was loud and made it hard to sleep, and OP struggled to figure out exactly what it was, so they could try to stop it.

It turned out to be the heating unit for the post office next door. OP went over to find out what was wrong and was told they were going to have someone look at it.

They asked whether or not it could possibly be turned off at night so they could get some sleep, and were told no, because it took too long for the unit to fire back up in the morning.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

Someone did come by to check the unit but no repairs were made, and the tenets next door were getting icier by the day.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

OP was starting to go crazy from the constant noise and the lack of sleep.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

They worked hard trying to get it resolved before the holidays, but now the supervisors were being rude, too, and it was clear that no one really cared to take the time or spend the money to fix the problem.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

OP knew they were on their own if they wanted to have a restful holiday season.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

They spoke with their landlord again and learned that this whole time, the fuse box had been in his own apartment.

While they were on holiday next door, they turned off the heat and enjoyed the blessed silence.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

They were cold during the day next door, but OP really didn’t care – the time for revenge had come.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

No regrets and no backsies.

Image Credit: Cheezburger

I actually love this. Everyone knows that no sleep makes a person crazy, so they really can’t be held accountable for their actions.

Do you agree, or are you on the side of the legal mumbo-jumbo here? Tell us down in the comments!

A Sneaky Professor Caught Cheaters by Setting up a Fake Answer Key Online

Teachers have to deal with cheaters. No matter how hard teachers try, kids are gonna find a way around the rules. And I imagine that the advent of the internet has only made students more creative and harder to catch.

But don’t worry, because cheaters aren’t going to get away with it (always). Professors and teachers are getting more creative, too, and are making sure nobody gets an undeserved grade on their watch.

A Reddit user, Mwxh, shared this story about how his old engineering professor set a trap for – and caught – a good number of his students cheating on an exam.

Not my revenge, but my professor against cheaters from ProRevenge

First of all, I had no idea there were websites out there now where people could ask and get answers to homework questions. I’m sure many use it responsibly, like the original poster, but man. What a bunch of malarky (and get off my lawn!).

Second, for everyone sympathizing with the kids who are shamed…no. They cheated. They deserve what’s coming to them. Full stop.

Third, never assume that because a person is old, they don’t understand technology. Especially if that person is an engineering professor.

Cheaters never prosper, my friends!

People Share the Way They Got Revenge on Those Who Wronged Them

As the saying goes, revenge is a dish best served cold.

And these folks behind these stories certainly know that to be true…because they got revenge on people who messed with them in major ways.

Check out these twisted tales from people on AskReddit.

Do you have a killer revenge story of your own? Share it in the comments with us.

1. Let’s start with a long story.

“When I was 15 years old, my parents divorced. We lived on a farm and I bucked bails and pulled fence year-around to pay for motorcycle gas. I was also about 6’4″, 300lbs at the time and in varsity football.

I wasn’t taking the divorce so well, so I moved in with my mom, who had just got her own place. I was in my bedroom one day and heard a commotion, so I went to the kitchen to look. Right as I turned the corner, I saw her new boyfriend (we’ll call him jim, because that was his name) backhand my mom, knocking her to the floor. She scurried to her feet in disbelief, grabbed her keys and ran out of the house. Moments later, I heard her lay rubber in the driveway..

Seeing my mother flee from this man with such panic and fear in her eyes filled me with rage. I’ve been mad before, but not like this. I wasn’t mad, I was full of pure hatred and rage. My life sucked already. My parents were going though a very very messy divorce, I was a misfit in school, my younger brother and sister were both suffering as well, so all-in-all, I was already furious about everything up until this very second.

I confronted jim, who stood 5’5” and maybe 150lbs max, about hitting my mother, trying to the best of my ability to hold back the rage. He made the worst mistake possible. Jim got physical with me. He raised his hand up like he was going to backhand me and that’s when I snapped.

I don’t remember how his swing landed. I’m not sure if he was able to land a blow or not, everything was just a blur. The next thing I could really remember was sitting on his chest punching his face so hard, the back of his head was bouncing off the linoleum. I hit him until he was unconscious and bleeding from both every hole in his face.

I stood up and went to the bathroom to clean myself. When I got back to the kitchen, he was still unconscious on the kitchen floor. The pool of blood around his head was still growing. At this point, I thought I had killed him. I dragged him out of the house by his feet to the back of his hilariously jacked-up ford pickup. I dropped the tail-gate and threw him into the bed of his truck. I threw his coat, keys and anything else I could find of his in the house in the bed with him and went back into the house.

About an hour and a half later, I heard his truck start-up and drive off. When my mom came home, she did not even ask about my hands or the half-cleaned bloody drag marks on the front patio, concrete walkway and the grass. I’m sure she knew exactly what had happened. I’m half convinced that she anticipated my reaction and that may be why she left me at the house with jim after he hit her.. I don’t know..

I saw jim in a gas station several years later and his face still showed obvious signs of trauma. Bags under his eyes, twisted nose, missing teeth up front, etc. And yes, I feel terrible, still. 🙁

2. Wow!

“My then-high-school-girlfriend was a total bitch, and wanted me to abandon all of my friends, would always try to bring me down, etc.

When I got fed up, I broke up with her on picture day. She took them, but her mascara was everywhere. Two days later, I told her that I was sorry, blahblah, and I wanted to get back together. She liked having someone to walk on, so of course she said yes. I then broke up with her again on retake day.”

3. That’s what friends are for.

“I had a friend in high school who became an asshole during our senior year. There were a bunch of little things that added up to our friendship falling apart, but at the worst of it I pooped on his car one night.

Real simple, I just crawled up on the hood of his car and took a shit on his windshield. I just knew that he’d walk outside the next day and think, “what the fuck is this?””

4. Cheated on.

“In 2009 I deployed for a 6 month tour to the Helmend Province in Afghanistan. Running at least weekly missions from Leatherneck to Now Zad. We were the only unit that would run that route in the entire AO, it was that bad.

A month into the deployment, I was just getting 6 months into my first “real” relationship. It was long distance, as I was stationed in NC and she lived back home in NY. We were planning on getting married, but my Staff Sergeant gave me a little speech and I decided that it was best to wait until after the deployment.

She was already cheating on me 4 months into the relationship. I took it hard. And that’s all I thought about for 6 months while I waited to get back home. I had a bunch of her stuff, and she had some of mine. I never got any of my stuff back, but she had given me this tiny little dancer trinket to wear on my dog tags. Her mother had given it to her before she ran off, so it had some sentimental value to her. ‘

Oh, and 5 months into my deployment, her new Level 3 sex-offender boyfriend who she left me for goes back to prison for probation violation. I get a message over Facebook that she “Just found out she’s six months pregnant, and it’s mine.” There’s no way you “just find out you’re 6 months pregnant” when you weigh 110 pounds soaking wet. It was a sham to get me back, there was no pregnancy.

6 months later, I arrive back home. I go into the Subway where she works, and lo-and-behold she’s working. I walk in, and she goes “Welcome to Su…” and cuts off mid-sentence as she sees me, with a look of absolute horror on her face. I walk in, walk up to the counter, look her dead in the eyes, set the dancer trinket on the counter, shake my head, and turn around and walk out. I could hear her start crying before I got to the door.

I’m much more successful out of the military. I have a great job, an amazing girlfriend, and a sweet townhome. I’m about to get a dog here soon. I’ve never blocked her on Facebook, I just don’t see her updates in my news feed. She’ll poke me every once and a while, but I never poke back. It’s nice to know that she can watch me be successful without her, and I know her life is in shambles. About once a year she tries to message me and ask me how I’m doing, but it usually ends with her going on some depressing rant about how she fucked up and wishes she never cheated on me and left me.”

5. No regrets.

“I had a loud ass apartment neighbor that was always causing problems. My wife got fed up one night when him and his drunk friends were wrestling in the parking lot while making a ton of noise and called the cops.

This was an angry drunk Mexican that decided to retaliate for the cops getting called by breaking my antenna off my car as soon as the cops leave.

I fumed about the antenna for a week or so when the dick came back home drunk again at 6 AM again waking me up as he thundered up the stairs. It wasn’t till a couple hours later we noticed he left his keys in the door of his apartment. I snuck up the stairs and took his keys right out of the lock and chucked them in a ditch a block away.

The best part was hearing him storm around tearing his place up looking for them. You could hear the prick moving furniture and shit. His truck had two separate alarms and after he lost his remotes he had to replace both of them. I regret nothing.”

6. You’re in trouble.

“My first high school bf was not very good with grades so he asked me to make him a fake report so he could show his parents and not get into trouble. He also cheated on me with my best friend and dumped me. He then promised to get back with me if I forged the report for him.

I agreed up until the day when we were meant to get our reports for school. I told him I didnt do it. He got bashed by his dad when he got home for the string of D’s and F’s.”

7. You’re gonna get sued.

“I went to school with someone who was a real dick. He bullied me a substantial amount and eventually I got fed up with it.

One day when we were in the library, I saw him log on. As he went to access his emails, I snuck a look at the keyboard and noticed his password . Lo and behold, the idiot used his name and a number and that was it.

Queue creeper time. When I went home I had a quick look through his emails. I noticed a rather interesting discussion between himself and a friend of his. To cut a long story short, his mother had convinced centrelink (unemployment benefits in Australia, maybe elsewhere, I don’t know) that he had a learning disability in order to claim more money.

I forward this email archive along with his password to Centrelink. They probably couldn’t directly access his email account due to redtape, however, I think someone must have done it off the books. A few weeks later at school I hear that ‘Bob’s’ family was getting taken to court and being forced to pay back all the excess money that was claimed under false circumstances.

I don’t know how it ended up as I graduated before the case was settled but I know they had to pay back several thousand dollars at the least.”

8. Win in the end.

“About 4 years ago, I found out my husband of ten years was fucking around with a girl he went to high school with. (It should be noted that they never dated because, according to him, she was too much of a whore not to fuck more than one dude at a time) At this time, I was a full time student and he was financially supporting us and our toddler. When I found out, I flipped shit, understandably.

He called me a psycho and decided he wanted to leave me for her. So I quit school for a year, worked two jobs, paid for the divorce and supported our child by myself. I ended up supporting myself thru school, graduating with honors, landing my dream job and generally kicking ass on my own. He, on the other hand, has been cheated on several times, lives in a shitty trailer park with his whore girlfriend and generally is a loser. Technically not fucked up revenge, just very very sweet.”

9. Hahahaha.

“I live in a very small town so locking your car doors is not very common. One day my friend played a prank by putting dog shit under my car seat on a hot summer day so my car smelled terrible for a week.

At this time I was dating his sister and she would send me nude pics, one day I showed him a pic of just her boobs and he got excited and asked me to send it to him. I figured he was going to wack off to it so I sent it to him and then told him a few weeks later who it was…6years later I’m engaged to his sister and we still have never talked about it.”

10. Break a leg.

“When I was seven, the Monica Lewinsky scandal happened, and my name happens to be Monica. You can imagine what a bunch of immature kids liked to call me. One girl who was several years older than me, whom I never talked to before, kept picking on me and calling me Monica Lewinsky. I asked her to stop, and she didn’t. Keep in mind that this girl was pretty big compared to me.

One day, she was playing on this jungle gym in the shape of a fire engine and was trying to balance, so I took advantage of her vulnerability and started tickling her. When I noticed she didn’t like being tickled and was losing her balance, I continued to tickle, which was probably my innocent way of being violent. The girl eventually lost her balance, fell down, and broke her leg. When I saw her later on in a cast with crutches, she looked at me with this apologetic expression and never called me Monica Lewinsky again. She was afraid of me, a little seven-year-old girl.”

11. Bad parents.

“I have one I’m about to do in a couple days. See my parents suck, I’ve been taking care of them for a while, while also going to school and what not, and still they are trying to cheat me, pawn my things, etc. But I’ve become fed up with them. I’m out of town at the moment, but when I get back, the next time they ask me to walk two miles to get them a pack of cigarettes, I will walk outside, around the house, have a friend with a van come.

Bring my pre packed shit out of the basement entrance, leave and stay at my friends house for a few days until the day my train ticket is planned for, then move 2000 miles across the country and live with another friend who just got me a job. Rendering them worthless pillheads waiting for a pack of pal mal menthol 100’s for the rest of their sad lives.”

12. Oh, Vanessa…

“My sister used to beat me up, steal my birthday money, call me a fag in front of friends and girls i liked. when mom went shopping for Xmas my sister would tell her to buy me these horrible clothes to make me look the part. Pretty much was just a total bitch to me. So everytime i had to pee in the shower id pee in her shampoo and body wash all over her razor, body sponge thing , everything. Fuck you Vanessa.”

13. Life blew up.

“I too dated a cheating girl. But I’ll start by saying I’m stupid and took her back after the first time. The first time she cheated it was with her “ex”boyfriend. I knew it was happening so I got her phone and got his number and I called him. He, naturally, didn’t know anything about it and I 100% believe him because she is a scum liar. So we set it up for her to meet him in a park to which I’d be there too. Unfortunately, the ex couldn’t follow through with it and and the plans foiled but her double life still blew up in her face.

But the better one was I knew she was cheating on me with this dude named Tim. So one afternoon I had her come over to my house. She said she had dinner plans and wouldn’t be around that night. So I wanted to fuck her one last time so I had her bent over my bed and was fucking her doggy style. I took a sharpie marker that I had laying on my night stand and, while fucking her, wrote “Hi Tim” on her ass. Again, he knew nothing about me and, again, her life blew up in her face.”

Yikes! Those were some stone cold revenge stories, right? People can be brutal AF sometimes…

Alright, it’s comment time! Let us know your faves!
