Two people were denounced by the Villacidro carabinieri at the end of the investigation into a scam. A 45-year-old had put a racing bicycle up for sale on the internet and a young woman - a 24-year-old from Bergamo - had called him saying she was interested in buying it and paying the agreed price, 250 euros. Then he convinced the worker to go to a Postamat counter where, following the instructions, they would conclude the transaction. The operation had been repeated four times, receiving a message that appeared as an error. However, when he went to check his movements list, he realized that he had recharged the young woman's Postepay card 4 times, without receiving any amount.
Realized that he fell into a trap, he turned to the carabinieri who also identified a Pakistani who owns the SIM card of the mobile phone used for telephone contacts even if it was probably used only by the girl.
