'You won't make a fool out of me': Client gets even with contractor who ripped him off for $2000 by sending him to job sites that don't exist, costing contractor $15,000

Each and every action has consequences. Because of this, you should think twice before intentionally betraying someone else because you never know when or how it can come back to haunt you.

The story that follows is the account of a petty client. The story is relayed by the Original Poster (OP), who provides readers with a detailed explanation of his motivations for starting the years-long payback plan. To put things in perspective, OP hired a contractor a few years ago in order to finish some construction work. However, rather than performing his job honestly, the contractor decided to scam OP out of a couple thousand bucks. As a result, OP was determined to jump at every opportunity to settle the score. So, together with his closest friends, he devised a devious plan to trick the dodgy contractor into thinking he had clients waiting for him all across the city.

That being said, check out the story below to learn more about what transpired and whether the contractor realized that OP had been the one tricking him the entire time! After you're done reading, don't forget to check out the account of the senior employee who was fired for showing up late just once!
