Tradie’s wife gets an unpaid invoice settled in one afternoon thanks to a VERY cheeky act

The wife of an Australian trader has revealed how she deviously convinced a customer to pay an overdue invoice.

The tradie called and texted the customer but never got a response, so he asked his wife for help.

She received a response within minutes after messaging her pretending to be his affair partner. He paid that same afternoon.

The tactic left hundreds of stings after she shared the conversation with a popular Facebook group.

“I called the guy and he didn’t answer, so I sent this text and he called me within two minutes of me sending it. We got paid the same afternoon haha,” the woman wrote.

The text sent at 1:34 p.m. read, “Hey, I had a great night with you. I hope we can do it again soon.’

After just two minutes, the customer texted back: “Get paid now. Will send a transfer.’

The woman responded with a simple “Thank you.”

The post quickly caught the attention of others who thought the tactic was “brilliant.”

“The things we do to get paid,” another joked.

Someone else said: ‘This is brilliant! I begged a tradie to allow me to take over the accounts so he doesn’t have to, so I can do something like this.’

Others wondered who the customer thought messaged him.
