Recently, on the microblogging platform X (formerly known as Twitter), social media user Chetty Arun disclosed a fun encounter in which he engaged with a scammer and gave them the taste of their own medicine

He shared the encounter accompanied by a series of chat screenshots. In the screenshots, the chat log shows an individual claiming to be Lavanya. The person introduced herself to be an HR representative from a company. She wrote that she got Chetty Arun’s contact details from professional networks like LinkedIn and Naukri.com. She continues to deliver information about the company and the job role.

The man captioned the post:

Paisa bohot hai. Pyaar chahiye. Had a heart-to-heart conversation about love, the world, peace, and everything with a scamster.”

The response from Chetty Arun was witty and hilarious

In response to the scammer’s text, Chetty Arun cleverly steers the professional conversation to a personal one. He starts by complimenting the name Lavanya and asking about its meaning. However, avoiding personal topics, the WhatsApp scammer, posing as Lavanya, soon redirects the discussion back to the job details.

As the scammer starts to request personal information regarding his occupation and gender for the job, Chetty cheekily responds that he has plenty of money but is looking for love instead. The scammer’s response is also humorous, explaining that their program is for work, not love.

Chetty doesn’t leave the conversation there, he continues to reason that love is scarce in the world, even quoting examples like clashes in the Middle East. In the end, it appears that the scammer unexpectedly left the chat after receiving such responses.

This post was shared on October 16. After that, the post went viral with over 48,000 views. The post also received more than 300 likes and numerous comments.
