The man told the police that on Monday (3) he saw an advertisement on the social network for the sale of an iPhone 14 Pro Max mobile phone for 1500 reais.

The victim was interested in the product, so he contacted the advertiser to negotiate and close the purchase. After that, the man made the payment through a Pix transfer.

On Tuesday, the man received the parcel and opened it only an hour after the purchase. However, the moment the customer opened the box, they found that it was empty.

When trying to contact the advertiser, he realized that he was blocked on social networks by the embezzler. Police say no suspects have been identified.
