Caserta, scam on the online sale of above ground pools: a man from Catania who claimed 24 victims in 13 days has been reported.
Aggravated fraud and money laundering, 24 victims defrauded in 13 days with a web page featuring above-ground pools of renowned brands. These are the charges brought against a Catania resident in the province of Caserta.
During the investigation it emerged that last August, over the course of 13 days with a complex and methodical modus operandi, after having created a web page in which he sold various types of "above ground" swimming pools of renowned brands, offered at very competitive prices, the man had obtained an undue profit of 13.887 euros, collected through payments to a bank account registered in his name.
The Catanian had limited himself to collecting a series of deposits without then following through with the delivery of the artifact and the payment for the balance. From the examination of the movements on the aforementioned current account, the carabinieri were able to reconstruct the payments of 24 victims of a similar scam.
The victims, reached through the competent Arma commands, confirmed that they had been defrauded and filed a complaint/report, aimed at punishing the man for the crimes in question.
