According to mirror, the woman, only known as Jenny, has dubbed her boyfriend or husband a 'filthy cheater' in the damming ad, naming and shaming him for the whole town to see.

The advertisement is written in the form of a letter, with bold black text and capital letters & It reads: "Dear Steve. I hope you're happy with her. Now the whole town will know what a filthy cheater you are. From Jenny". If that wasn't devastating enough, Jenny adds more fuel to the fire with the ad's final sign-off: "P.S. I bought this ad using your credit card."

The Australian tried to pay a hefty sum of up to $2,000 AUD (around R32,000) to ensure Steve faced his alleged infidelity head on. But in this instance, revenge was not only sweet for Jenny, but completely free of charge, as the newspaper revealed that no transaction was made.

According to the Queensland newspaper, "Jenny booked the ad through our newspaper's online portal and it was published in this Friday's edition". After the ad went viral on Facebook, the local paper was inundated with questions about how the woman paid for the spread.

"When payment for the ad was due to be processed it was noticed that the name on the credit card was different to the name on the booking, so no payment was taken for the ad," the newspaper explained.

A whopping 50,000 readers got to enjoy the hilarious take-down when it appeared in the Mackay and Whitsunday Life on Friday 12th August.  

The angry advert has since gained international attention after being posted online, meaning the details of Steve's alleged actions have spread way further than the local community.
