They buy Parmigiano Reggiano with fake bank transfers: three Caserta residents reported

A decoy email asking for information and contact information at the targeted dairy, the address to ship the goods, and the phone number of two accomplices, followed by an order for approximately thirty Parmigiano Reggiano cheese sticks, paid for with an apparently legitimate bank transfer, as per a copy emailed to the seller. Upon delivery of the goods, the transfer was revoked, and the scam was completed, as the purchased cheese was never paid for. Thus, a Caserta-based scammer, with a string of prior scams and the assistance of two accomplices, defrauded a Reggio Emilia dairy company, purchasing approximately thirty one-kilogram sticks of Parmigiano Reggiano for approximately €400. She intended to pay for the transaction via bank transfer, reassuring the seller by emailing him a receipt of the fraudulent transaction. Upon receiving the goods, she revoked the transfer, leaving the bill unpaid. This scam could be the tip of the iceberg of a larger scam network involving other dairies in Reggio Emilia, Modena, and Parma. The Carabinieri station in Cavriago are currently investigating the scam, having filed charges against the three swindlers. Upon completion of their investigation, the Cavriago police reported the perpetrator, a 32-year-old woman from Castel Volturno, and her two accomplices, aged 36 and 39, both from Mondragone, to the Public Prosecutor's Office at the Court of Reggio Emilia, on charges of conspiracy to commit fraud. According to the Carabinieri's investigative reconstruction, the woman, using several decoy emails, obtained an initial contact with whom she began negotiations for the purchase of one-kilogram pieces of Parmigiano Reggiano aged 24 months. Once the deal was concluded like clockwork, using an accomplice's cell phone, he reassured the dairy by announcing that he would email a copy of the bank transfer made to the same dairy, which would ship the purchase to the address provided by the woman. This transfer was then traced to the second accomplice, who received the goods. Everything seemed to be in order, except for the woman's revocation of the transfer, which resulted in her not paying for the purchase and making herself virtually untraceable. Realizing he had been defrauded, the Reggio Emilia merchant went to the local Carabinieri and reported the scam to unknown individuals. The Carabinieri in Cavriago not only traced the perpetrators of the scam, identified as the 32-year-old woman from Caserta, but also the complicit activities of the two accomplices, who in various capacities "supported" the woman's well-established, and therefore not her only, fraudulent activity. The Carabinieri acquired a series of incontrovertible elements of responsibility against them for the fraud conspiracy for which the three were reported.
