When they say this world is full of cheaters and one must be aware of his surroundings and the frauds that are likely to happen, they are right! One must always be conscious and smartly think his ways through things because God does not always help unless you do not have a plan B. It is always useful to be prepared for the worst because hoping for the best is not always realistic, specially in this cruel world full of treacherous people.
The following story if of an IT developer who started working with a fraud client who tried to screw him over but getting all the work done and ditching him for money at the end. But, he was smart enough to use his efficiency in programming through which he backfired the client’s plan on himself leaving us in awe. Can you imagine someone locking you out of the system your actually build yourself? Well, this fraud client actually had the guts to do so, but it actually went against him and that’s great. If you want to know the full story, scroll down till the end to know how he managed to pull off the wise stunt.

This is how the story ends. I am happy with what the employee did. 5 months of his hard work was in vain yet he learnt his greatest lesson of life; what it’s like working with a fraud. He would at least be happy about his plan he devised by adding that function to the system. This would definitely would have taught the client a lesson as he lost everything.
