Shaina Gimao decided to get her own back on a text scammer in a hilarious manner.
Being bombarded with scam messages is something that all of us have faced at some point - but one woman has found a nifty way of getting her own back.
Shaina Gimao, from the Philippines, shared a screengrab of her hilarious response on Twitter, in which she wrote: "Congratulations! Youhave successfully subscribed to Prayer Of The Day".
When the scammer attempted to opt out of her messages by replying 'Cancel', she went on to write: "Sorry, you have entered an invalid code. Please try again."
Other social media users were quick to applaud her response, with one writing "Well played!".
Sharing screengrabs of the amusing exchange on Twitter, Shaina commented: "How to give scammers a mini heart attack."
She wrote back: 'Congratulations! You have successfully subscribed to Prayer Of The Day', before quoting a verse from the Bible.
The student had received a scam text saying that she'd won a large cash prize and a laptop.
She responded by saying: 'Congratulations! You have successfully subscribed to Prayer Of The Day! 50 PESOS will be deducted from your load.
When the scammer tried to opt out by writing 'Cancel', Shaina refused to back down.
Shaina went on to quote a verse of the bible, writing: "I have set the LORD always before me. Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken - Psalm 16:8"
