«We read the advert for the sale of the used bedroom, we'll buy it», and without discussing the price they expressed their intention to pay immediately.
But behind these initiatives was hidden a scam which saw the victim of an 80-year-old from Sant'Antioco, who had published the offer on a well-known site.
Contacted by a 49-year-old from Sesto San Giovanni and a 58-year-old from Lissone, the two convinced him to go to the nearest ATM where he could perform operations via the keyboard to receive the bank transfer. Eight apparent error messages appeared on the video, attempts which ultimately produced a fraudulent payment of 2 thousand euros in favor of the authors of the scam.
The police, following the flow of money, discovered the identity of the man and woman, reporting them for aggravated fraud.
