What is a scam?
Fraud is a crime that occurs when a person, through deception, induces another to perform an act of patrimonial disposition to their detriment, with the intention of profiting for the perpetrator or for a third party.
The deception must be sufficient and cause an error that leads the victim to act in a way that causes economic harm.
Scams can take many forms: fake investments, fake contracts, broken promises, identity theft, or fraudulent use of information.
In the Spanish Penal Code, fraud is classified as a property crime and can be punished with prison sentences , in addition to civil liability for the damages caused.
What is a criminal complaint?
A criminal complaint is a formal action that allows a person or company to inform the court of the commission of a possible crime, requesting that it be investigated and that responsibilities be determined.
Unlike a complaint, a lawsuit allows the plaintiff to actively participate in the proceedings as the accusing party.
It is especially advisable when there is solid evidence, the crime has caused clear harm, and an active defense is desired from the beginning of the investigation phase.
