A raging Scots woman got her revenge on a scammer who used her cash to enjoy a takeaway by posting dog poo to his home nearly 300 miles away.
Emma Crombie, from Glasgow, was stunned to wake up on Thursday morning to find her Uber Eats account had been hacked and a massive £40 KFC feast had been sent to an address in Birmingham.
The 35-year-old got in touch with the food delivery service to make them aware that her account had been hacked.
Uber bosses refunded the charges to Emma.
But unsatisfied that the scammer wouldn't be punished, Emma decided to get her own revenge by sending dog poo by special delivery to the address used by the hacker.
The poop was hidden inside a box, and packaged up with a note from Emma which read: "Hope you enjoyed the Uber Eats I treated you to."
She took to social media to share her revenge plot: "OK so after the scumbag who stole my card details from Uber eats and treated themselves to a feast.. this was their karma!! Dug s**** in a box.. yes it's disgusting and yes it cost me £14 special next day delivery.
"**IMAGINE GETTING WOKE UP AT 09:01AM ON A SATURDAY MORNING TO SIGN FOR A JOBBY!!!"
Emma told the Record she hoped others would make sure they had not been scammed.
She said: "It was the Uber Eats app that was somehow hacked and card details fraudulently taken from people's accounts, after going onto their Facebook page I discovered its happened to numerous people over the last week or so..
"I woke up Thursday morning to an email from Uber Eats thanking me for my order of £40.06 which was delivered to an address in Birmingham 300 miles away.
"Last night I received an email from someone at Uber Eats to clarify my account was hacked and they would refund in three to five days.
"I've warned most people I know who use Uber Eats to keep an eye on their bank accounts incase they end up getting hacked like myself.
"I have however karma works in mysterious ways It was worth the giggle even if I don't get the money back."
Uber UK has been contacted for comment.
