The scam amounted to $80,000 and a week later he returned to repeat the criminal operation. It happened in the Buenos Aires town of Grand Bourg, in the Malvinas Argentinas district.
Security cameras in the area captured the moment in which they ran to the criminal, caught him and beat him. The scammer, who wanted to do the trick twice in the same place, was taken to the hospital and, after receiving medical attention, he was detained. The merchant said that when he recognized him, he confronted him: "You're the one who screwed me the other day, I told him"
