In a surprising turn of events, a man managed to outsmart a scammer and shared his experience online, which quickly went viral. Jay, an X user, detailed in his post how he turned the tables on the scammer who initially requested Rs 1000, ultimately convincing the fraudster to send him Rs 20 instead.
Jay met a girl named Yami on a dating app and struck up a conversation with her. They agreed to connect over a call and exchanged numbers. After starting to talk on WhatsApp, Yami asked for a favour. The scammer requested Rs 1,000, promising to return it in a few hours.
Sensing something fishy, Jay sent her screenshots of failed transactions. He also asked for Rs 20 just to "check" if UPI was working. Later, he blocked the person named Yasmeen Khan on Google Pay.
