"Puppy dog for sale at 500 euros".

This is the announcement published on the internet that attracted a 35 year old from Arbus, who - wanting to buy a four-legged friend - paid the agreed sum to a 50 year old from Sassari.

Too bad, however, that the puppy never arrived in Arbus and that, after having collected the money, the 50-year-old became unavailable.

For this the 35-year-old turned to the carabinieri, denouncing the scam.

The military then initiated investigations, eventually managing to trace the scammer.

The woman was thus reported to the Public Prosecutor's Office.
