He adds that the replica watches sold like hotcakes:

- They showed the fake watch manufactured in China to the man, and claimed that it is a new luxury model. Starting bid was 16,000 euros, however, the pensioner bargained and reduced the price down to 8,000. As soon as they got cash, they disappeared without a trace. The son of the pensioner was suspicious and he took the watch to check it and received confirmation that the watch was worthless - says a source from the investigation.

An exhaustive description of fraudsters helped the police to identify them but they have not been arrested, because they disguise themselves in new costumes.
