Criminal Complaint – A Guide to Your Options
“They told me to write it myself – but I don’t even know how!”
“He scammed me, took my money, vanished. I went to the police, but they said I should write the criminal complaint myself. Apparently, it’s simple. But it doesn’t feel simple to me. I’m afraid I’ll write it wrong – and no one will ever deal with it.”
