Ghost Stores | M6 | 66 minutes

It’s an increasingly widespread scam in France: “new stores” that open on the edge of town and only remain there for a few weeks. They telephone local residents, preferably retirees, and invite them to come and collect a gift that they have “won in a lottery”.

In reality, their goods have little value… However, by the time the stooges realise, the store has disappeared into thin air.
