‘I've caused more damage than the money he owes’: Business owner gets back at client for refusing to pay by spamming him with calls and scam emails for years

Every business owner had to deal at least once in their career with clients who disappeared without paying for the service they got. Some cases end with a happy ending, with the owner managing to find the client and get them to pay, but other cases remain unsolved, which means the owner never receives the money they were owed.

This leads some business owners to find other ways to get back their money's worth, even if it means unleashing their most petty selves. Much like the owner in this Reddit story. This owner runs a small B&B, and tells the story of a client who disagreed without paying anything and after staying there for 6 days. Luckily, the owner had enough information on the guy, including his phone number. So after failing to get the money he was owed, the owner decided to get payback by spamming and scamming the guy as much as he could. This includes calling him in the middle of the night, leaving bad reviews on his own business, and messaging his friends calling him a thief.
