04 — Questions

What people ask us before they instruct us

Some signs that you may have been the victim of a scam are: being made an offer that is too good to be true, being pressed into taking decisions quickly, paying in advance without receiving a product or service in return, or receiving suspicious messages or emails from senders you do not know, among others. If you have experienced any of these, you may have been the victim of a scam.

If you suspect you have been the victim of a scam, it is important to act quickly. The first thing to do is contact a lawyer specialising in fraud so that they can advise you on the steps to take. It is also worth reporting the matter to the authorities so that they can investigate and stop those responsible.

To report a scam, it is important to have evidence backing up your case. Evidence that can help includes documents relating to the transaction, emails or text messages and call recordings, among others. A lawyer specialising in fraud will advise you on the evidence needed in your particular case.

If you have been the victim of a scam, you can report it to the authorities, such as the police or the public prosecutor. To make sure you submit everything that is needed, however, it is best to have advice from a lawyer specialising in fraud, who will guide you through the legal process to recover your money and protect your rights.

More about scams and how to report them

A law firm for reporting fraud offences

What you need is a firm of professionals who are expert in criminal law and in defending the victims of fraud and scams. Do not hesitate to get in touch. We offer you tailored, professional advice so that you can recover your money and your peace of mind.

At our firm we take on reporting fraud offences to the authorities. From filing the complaint to the hearing itself, our lawyers will be with you at every point, advising you and defending your interests.

Which kinds of fraud are most common

Litigation

This kind of fraud happens when someone manipulates court proceedings so as to get a decision in their favour. Our lawyers can help you identify whether there has been any irregularity in your case and file a complaint with the authorities.

Continuing

Where someone commits a series of frauds over a period of time, that is a continuing fraud. To argue it in court you need to gather evidence and file a complaint with the authorities so that an investigation is opened.

Bank fraud

Bank fraud is where someone uses false or stolen information to get access to another person's bank accounts. You will need to file a complaint in order to recover your money.

In companies

If an employee or a third party with access to a company's confidential information uses it to commit a fraud within the company, you will need professionals to help you show the authorities how it was done.

Online

Online fraud has become one of the main threats facing internet users. If that is your situation, you will need professional help to show that you are the victim of online fraud and to file a complaint with the authorities.

Buying and selling

Fraud in buying and selling can take many forms, from the sale of counterfeit goods to the product never arriving after payment has been made.

What we claim when reporting a scam

If you have been the victim of a scam you have to take legal steps to recover your money and protect your rights. When reporting a scam, these are the things we claim at our firm:

A deliberate act of deception

For something to count as a scam there has to be a deliberate act of deception by the fraudster. That is what lets you report this unlawful conduct to the authorities.

Recognition of your rights

As the victim of a scam, it is important that your rights as a consumer or user are recognised. Once they are, we will press for steps to be taken so that you are not made a victim again.

The existence of intent

Intent means the fraudster meaning to commit the fraud. Our lawyers press for intent to be investigated in every scam case so that you can recover your money and have your rights protected.

Financial compensation

As well as reporting the matter to the authorities, our lawyers claim the financial compensation due for the harm caused by the scam. We claim the money you have lost and compensation for the distress suffered.

What a criminal lawyer does against fraud

Fraud is an offence that seriously affects people's finances and their rights. The role of a criminal lawyer is therefore essential in protecting the interests of scam victims. At our firm we have experts in criminal law who specialise in defending fraud victims.

Gathering the facts

First, the criminal lawyer takes on gathering all the information needed about the facts of the scam. That includes evidence that can be used in the case.

Filing the complaint

Once the necessary information has been gathered, the criminal lawyer files the corresponding complaint with the authorities. The complaint is an essential step in starting legal proceedings against those responsible for the scam.

Preparing with the client

Throughout the legal process, the criminal lawyer works closely with the client to prepare the best possible case. That includes explaining the client's rights, explaining the legal process and preparing their evidence.

Arguing the case with evidence

Finally, the criminal lawyer takes on arguing the client's case in court, presenting the evidence gathered during the investigation. In that process it is essential to have a lawyer who is expert in criminal law and can argue effectively and persuasively before the judge.
