It raged throughout Brittany and even in other regions sometimes. A 33-year-old man was sentenced on Monday by the Rennes criminal court to three years in prison, including two years, for having multiplied scams against traders. The facts span from 2017 to the end of 2018 and are around a total amount of 40,000 euros, reports West France.
The thirty-year-old, unemployed, paid for his purchases by means of bad checks stolen from his father. Some bills were important like this acquisition of furniture for 11,000 euros.
As if that were not enough, the scammer also sold items to individuals on the Le Bon coin classifieds site. Items he never shipped after collecting the money. Fifteen victims have been identified. The man, who lives near Rennes, admitted the facts.
