Where to report a Bizum scam

Being the victim of Bizum fraud can be a stressful and confusing situation. It is important, however, always to report a Bizum scam and to know that there are ways of reporting the matter and pursuing those responsible.

The Spanish police forces

If you have been the victim of a Bizum scam, you can report it to the Spanish police forces, whether the Policia Nacional or the Guardia Civil. It is important to give all the relevant information you have, such as the details of the unauthorised transfer and any suspicious emails or messages you have received.

The Spanish Data Protection Agency

You can also report a Bizum scam to the Spanish Data Protection Agency, since companies offering mobile payment services such as Bizum have to comply with data protection rules. The Agency will investigate and, if a breach of the rules is confirmed, can impose a penalty on the company responsible.

How our lawyer handles a Bizum scam

Gathering evidence and deciding what to do

The first thing you want the lawyer to do is gather all the evidence available connected with the Bizum fraud, which can include the record of the fraudulent transaction, any suspicious communication received before or after it, and any other relevant information. Once all the evidence is gathered, you need them to set out the legal steps that can be taken to defend your rights.

Filing the complaint

You want a lawyer to file the complaint against the suspected fraudster. You want them to prepare a detailed report of the facts, advise you on the evidence needed and take on preparing the documents required to start legal proceedings.

Legal support throughout the case

Once you have decided to report the Bizum scam, you want a lawyer to represent you and argue your case throughout the legal process. You want them to support you at every point, keep you informed of how the case is progressing and advise you on the legal options open to you.

Claiming for the harm suffered

If you have suffered any harm as a result of the Bizum scam, you want a lawyer to help you claim compensation for it. That can include recovering the money you have lost and compensation for the emotional and financial harm caused.

How bank scams are carried out through Bizum

Identity theft

One of the most common ways of carrying out a bank scam through Bizum is by getting into your personal account. Cybercriminals send you emails or text messages that appear to be from Bizum or from your bank, asking for personal information or login details. Once they have that information, they can get into your Bizum account and make unauthorised transfers.

Duplicating your SIM card

Another technique they may have used to carry out bank scams through Bizum is duplicating your SIM card. Criminals can contact your mobile provider and ask for a duplicate SIM, claiming the original has been lost or damaged.

Once the criminals have access to the duplicate SIM, they can receive the security codes needed to get into your Bizum account and make unauthorised transfers.

What can be reported in a Bizum scam case

Identity theft

Where someone has passed themselves off as you to make a Bizum transfer without your consent. In that case, you can report the identity theft and the misuse of your details.

Money taken without your agreement

If you authorised a Bizum transfer but more money was taken than had been agreed, or money was taken without your consent. In that case, you can report the Bizum fraud and the bank scam.

How to obtain evidence to claim over a fraudulent Bizum

Payments you did not intend to make

It is crucial to show that you did not intend to make the payment or that you were tricked into making it. To do that, you can produce conversations or emails showing that you did not intend to pay or that you were deceived through social engineering or phishing.

Keeping the messages

In some cases fraudsters use text messages or instant messaging apps to trick you into believing you have to make a payment. It is important to keep the messages you have received so that you can show it was a deception.

Screenshots of notifications

Where a payment has been made without your authorisation, you may have received a notification on your phone telling you about it. It is essential to keep those notifications so that you can show the payment was made without your authorisation.

Calls received

In some cases fraudsters use calls to trick you into believing you have to make a payment. It is important to note the date, time and phone number of the call so that you can show you have been the victim of a scam.
