Ah, scammers… the parasites of the online world looking for easy prey to take advantage of. But fortunately, not all netizens are equally unsuspecting. (Not all scammers are as good as they think, too.)
Redditor u/wrighttc was one of such netizens. Not only did she realize that her new pen pal was a scammer, she used the chance to give them a taste of their own medicine and created a made up story, too; one that would leave the online community in tears.
This redditor said she had “the best fun she ever had with a scammer”

It all started with an email asking her for a favor
The scammer told Tiffany about their ill friend and asked for her help in the form of iTunes gift cards
Tiffany decided to have a little fun with the person on the other end of the correspondence
She made up new characters as the story developed
The netizen eventually sent what she was asked for… almost
The scammer soon realized that it wasn’t what they hoped for
Tiffany’s last email was the perfect cherry on top
