Online customers buy mobile phones and receive parcels containing cucumbers and tomatoes
TWO men have been arrested in Guardamar del Segura (Alicante) for selling top-of-the-range mobile phones online and sending vegetables to buyers instead.
Police say they received a flood of reports from people in Jaén and Sevilla (Andalucía), Badajoz (Extremadura) and Tenerife, saying they had bought mobile phones based upon photos and descriptions on a website and that when they received their parcels through the post, they contained tomatoes, cucumbers, sprouting potatoes and even bars of soap.
The accused men, aged 19 and 31, allegedly used assumed names and numerous email addresses to contact their clients.
