An agricultural tractor recently put on the road, practically 0 km. A John Deere 5085M at the fantastic price of 40 thousand euros. On the Web.

A fabulous offering, a perfect bait. A 42-year-old bricklayer from Siurgus Donigala, who also takes care of his countryside in his free time, fell for it with all his might.

The man thus made an agreement with the author of the advertisement and paid a deposit of 20 thousand euros, half the full price. After delivery he would pay. But once the bank transfer was made to block the advantageous deal, the seller disappeared and even deactivated the telephone number.

So the bricklayer from Siurgus, having understood the scam, turned to the police who, by tracing who physically obtained the money, managed to identify and report a sixty-year-old Venetian, already known to the police for similar events.
