A scorned lover has supposedly penned a brutal message to her ex-boyfriend, taking out an advertisement in a local newspaper branding him a ‘filthy cheater’.
A full-page ad appeared in the independent Mackay and Queensland Life newspaper on Friday morning.
In it, ‘Jenny’ wrote: ‘Dear Steve, I hope you’re happy with her. Now the whole town will know what a filthy cheater you are.
‘From Jenny. P.S. I bought this ad using your credit card.’
The ad had a sting in the tail – with ‘Jenny’ claiming she used Steve’s credit card to pay for the ad. But many readers smelt a rat
The newspaper said it had been ‘inundated’ with dozens of messages about the ad, which was taken out on page 4 – premier newspaper real estate.
‘We do NOT know who Steve is, but apparently he’s been very bad,’ the news outlet said. ‘We won’t be revealing any details about Jenny.’
The newspaper said it did not charge the credit card involved.
The advertisement sparked an internet sensation. ‘Jenny sounds like someone I want to be friends with,’ one reader said.
But many smelt a rat. ‘This has PR stunt written all over it,’ someone said.
Another added: ‘Best piece of PR I have come across in a while… Well done guys.’
