A scam was foiled at a post office in the Cagliari area , where a customer was saved from a potential scam involving thousands of euros . An employee intervened promptly, sensing the danger and stopping several suspicious transfers . According to the reconstruction, the customer had arrived at his local post office counter intending to make some payments. However, during the transaction, the employee noticed some anomalies and began asking questions to better understand the situation.

The man said he entered his details in a promotional ad for an investment firm and was subsequently contacted by a broker, to whom he had already made an initial transfer of €250. In the following days, according to the online platform, the invested amount was credited, along with a very high interest rate.

However, when he attempted to make further transfers from his account, the transactions were blocked . At that point, the company itself suggested he go directly to a post office to make the payments over the counter, warning him that staff might ask questions and try to dissuade him. Investigations revealed that the account had been blocked directly by the Fraud Prevention Center of Poste Italiane . The matter was then reported to the Postal Police , who interviewed the customer and took his complaint.
