📌 Common types of WhatsApp scams

1. BLIK payment requests from a “friend”

2. Links to fake investment or prize pages, often with bank logos

3. Phishing forms asking you to “verify your details”

4. Links spreading malware or phishing, sent from your account

5. Scammers impersonating banks or officials using profile photos and names

⚖️ What crimes may apply?

• Fraud (§ 209 of the Criminal Code)

• Unauthorized use of a payment method (§ 241)

• Unauthorized access to a computer system (§ 230)

• Possibly identity misuse (§ 181) if they impersonate someone you know

🧾 What evidence should you collect?

• Screenshots of the conversation (showing phone number and profile)

• Payment details (amount, time, account or cash withdrawal)

• Any communication with your bank

• Messages from the real person (confirming they didn’t send the request)

❗ A real-world warning

Scammers rely on speed and surprise. They keep messages short: “Can you help me real quick?”
Most people don’t notice strange language, odd timing, or inconsistencies.
And without solid documentation and a clear legal complaint, the police often dismiss these cases.
But a structured report with legal arguments and evidence can trigger a real investigation.

🙅‍♀️ Why not do it yourself?

• Police need precise data—not just general complaints

• DIY reports are often incomplete, missing legal reasoning

• You may need bank, telecom, or platform cooperation—which must be clearly described and requested

✅ What I can do for you

• I’ll write a criminal complaint that is clear, legal, and persuasive

• I’ll explain the legal basis and why this was not “user error”

• I’ll help gather and organize evidence (e.g., from your phone, bank, WhatsApp)
