The incident occurred in the Portsmouth parking lot. The con artist was a group of two people, a white man with a very little characteristic with white haired in the 40s and 50s and a man with a look of Asian style with black short hair at 20 to 30 years old.

The fraudsters said they let the students agree to pay about 120,000 yen after showing Sony's laptop computer loaded on the car carrier. After paying the price, the student received the item in the manufacturer's original bag, but at that time it did not notice that the contents were different, it was not for the first time to see the inside of the bag that the potatoes were contained Recognized.

"It would be better to refrain from buying something from someone who comes out expensive items from the back of a car or van, and if you buy it you will be guaranteed before paying for it," said the police officer Mr. Allison Fraser advises.
