'Looks like my plan worked!': Guy loans 10€ to a shady stranger, gets ghosted until he plays a prank of his own as payback

To turn the tides of empathy, scammers will say just about anything. In the hopes of getting whatever they want from their targets– money, favors, mercy– scammy strangers try to manipulate the emotions of the situation. Like the guy in our next story, who desperately approached a random person in the gas station, begging to borrow 10€ so he could drive to see his dying mother one last time. 

Jeez, who could say no to that? 

However, u/Titahn took him at his word. One word specifically… "Borrow". Although OP knew he'd never see that 10€ again, since the stranger was so adamant about paying him back (even offering his contact information to follow up), OP's generosity quickly became intertwined with mischief. Scroll for the entire story of how one man's thoughtful gesture made a scammy stranger quickly regret giving him his phone number to follow up. After this, here's another playful prank played on another deserving target, this time to see about a horse.
