However, yesterday 27.1.22 he received a message in his email stating that he was told to deposit another 6,000 euros in order to release his order and have the products he ordered shipped to him.
The complainant, after realizing that he was a victim of fraud, reported the case to the Pafos Crime Detection Department.
