Having agreed on the price of 520.90 euros for the purchase of a bicycle, the seller had evaporated, leaving a 46-year-old from Villacidro with nothing left to do but contact the carabinieri.
The military began investigations by tracing the flow of money and reported on the loose for aggravated fraud a 53-year-old from Barletta and a 32-year-old Sinhalese resident in Rome, both untraceable.
The negotiation began after an announcement posted on Facebook for the sale of the bicycle. After receiving the money, however, the advertiser closed the account. The other person involved in the scam, the 32-year-old, turned out to be the owner of the telephone account used to complete the plan, in all probability a figurehead to whom many telephone cards used for scams refer. The two reported probably don't even know each other.
