This prompted hundreds of users to share their own tales in the comments section, which we’ve gathered here for your reading enjoyment.

    A woman's hands with manicured nails tapping on a smartphone, representing the use of a smart scale to catch cheating. I caught mine when he called from work and asked me to go in his email to print off his vaccine passport. While I was doing that, another email came in from Virgin Wireless saying his phone bill was overdue. (We were with Koodo). Better yet, I clicked on the link and it showed me his bill and the 90 plus calls to the same number - one I knew well because she was my friend.
