Technology has evolved in a matter of years and we have it within our reach, with a simple click it is enough to carry out an operation. This last week has been the memorable Black Friday, and with it has been born what can become the “Black fraud”. As a result of these events, in the last year cyber-scams have increased.
Fraud is a crime regulated in our Penal Code, specifically in article 248. It is the use of deception to produce an error in another, inducing an act of disposition to one’s own or another’s detriment.
The profit motive must be present in the intention of patrimonial enrichment, we must identify a direct intent regarding the deceit, error or patrimonial act.
We can identify two types of cyber scams, “phishing” and “mishing”. The first of these is a method of deceptive conduct, in which scammers pose as a trusted institution to get you to share passwords, credit card numbers, and sensitive information that they can fraudulently use. The modus operandi by which they make the malicious conduct effective is an email or an SMS.
And as for “mishing”, it is about fraudulent text messages impersonating recognized organizations, with the objective that the victim accesses a false web page that pretends to be the official one to steal their access credentials to the banking service or even make charges to the user’s account number.
If this is the case, and you have been deceived with the purchase of some property under these conditions or by SMS or email and you want to solve the situation, you can request an appointment to present your case in our office and we will be happy to advise you.
