In Brief

A 55-year-old man from Ticino and Graubünden took hundreds of thousands of francs from clients for motorhomes that were never delivered. He has been unreachable since January and his company is closed.

Around 15 buyers in the Swiss cantons of Ticino and Graubünden have fallen victim to an alleged scam. They transferred hundreds of thousands of francs to a 55-year-old seller for motorhomes that were never received.

The seller, who lived in Semione and operated between Cresciano and Grono, has been unreachable since January, and his company has been shut down. One victim paid 35,000 francs for a vehicle that turned out to belong to someone else and was never actually for sale.
