Shrewd, crafty and delinquent. To scam people, they decided to create and then put online a company website identical to the real one. The only difference is the telephone number from which the payment details were then sent.

And so in the offices of the "Autodemolizioni Pusceddu" company, in Siamaggiore, the phone rings continuously. These are the customers who ask why the used spare parts that were purchased a few days ago have not yet been shipped. However, things went differently. «We are experiencing not only economic damage but also image damage – says the owner Manuela Pusceddu – Unfortunately we were victims of identity impersonation fraud. We only became aware when customers started calling us to complain that they hadn't received what had been purchased with Postepay."

In fact, on the site created specifically to scam people, the data is different, as is the name of the site itself: the real one has the domain .it, the fake one .com.

The owner then filed a complaint: «We turned to the police who are investigating the matter. Let's hope so. I ask customers not to make any purchases on the fake site. But also no payment."
