BLIK Scam via Messenger: How to Fight Back and File a Criminal Complaint

Print

“Hey, can you quickly send me CZK 2,000 via BLIK? I’ll pay you back tonight.”

The message came from a friend I sometimes chat with. Nothing seemed off. I clicked, sent the money, done.
Except… she knew nothing about it.
Her account had been hacked, and I had just sent CZK 2,000 to a complete stranger. The police told me they see these cases every day, but that they rarely catch the scammer.

Is that where it should end? No.
I filed a criminal complaint—and now I help others do the same.

The BLIK scam via Messenger is one of the most common online frauds in the Czech Republic. A criminal takes over someone’s Facebook account and messages you, pretending to be your friend, asking for a quick BLIK payment. They exploit trust. The money vanishes in seconds. And yet, many people don’t realize it’s a crime—and even more importantly, that a poorly written criminal complaint usually leads nowhere.

📌 What is a BLIK scam and how does it work?

  • The attacker gains access to your friend’s account (often through phishing or weak passwords).

  • They message you asking for a loan:
    “Can you send me CZK 2,000 via BLIK?”

  • They rely on urgency and trust, often writing late at night, giving you no time to think.

  • As soon as you send the code, the money is gone.

  • It’s usually withdrawn anonymously at an ATM or quickly transferred elsewhere.


⚖️ What kind of crime is this?

Typically:

  • Fraud (Section 209 of the Czech Criminal Code) – misleading someone to gain financial benefit.

  • Possibly also: unauthorized use of a payment instrument, money laundering, etc.


📂 What to do immediately?

  1. Take screenshots of the full conversation.

  2. Note all transaction details: amount, time, date, bank.

  3. Contact your bank – in rare cases, payment can be reversed.

  4. Tell your friend – they should secure their account.

  5. Prepare a criminal complaint.


❗ A warning from real cases

Many people just tell the police what happened, and the officer writes down a brief note. The result?
The case is closed due to lack of evidence. Or worse, it’s dismissed as minor damage.

But a well-prepared, professional criminal complaint—with proper legal reasoning and documentation—is taken much more seriously.


💬 Common myths that stop victims from acting

  • “It’s my own fault, so there’s no point.”
    ❌ No. The scammer knowingly deceived you. Even minor financial losses are criminal.

  • “They’ll never catch them anyway.”
    ❌ When more people report it, police can connect the dots—and catch the offender.

  • “I can write the complaint myself.”
    ❌ Most DIY complaints are incomplete, lack legal structure and proof. Result? Case closed.
