Fraud is the act of a person known or unknown to the victim, who, through deception, gets the opportunity to take possession of property or material that does not belong to the offender.
Instructions
Step 1
If fraudulent actions have been committed against you, you should not think about who exactly could encroach on your property and speculate the reasons for the committed act on the part of an acquaintance or a completely stranger to you. The fact of committing fraud has already been discovered by you, and this is enough to appeal to the internal affairs bodies.
Step 2
Don't waste time evaluating your own emotions. This behavior can harm, but not help, in the return of your property or money. The sooner you draw up an application to bring the guilty person to responsibility established by law, the more chances the employees of operational units have in finding out the identity of the offender.
Step 3
Contacting the internal affairs bodies is possible both in person and through the use of telephone communication. When you call, provide your personal data, tell us briefly about the situation that happened. Most likely, the duty outfit will immediately leave for your location. It is desirable that at this time the victim was at the scene of the crime against him.
Step 4
Before the arrival of the police, there is no need to start putting things in order. Do not touch anything and leave all things in their places. When working as an expert, this circumstance can play a significant role in detecting traces of a crime.
Step 5
If the fraud is committed using ATMs and a phone message or call, do not erase the data from your phone.
Step 6
When writing a statement, tell the police officer complete information about the event that happened to you. Here, not only time and place are important, but also the appearance of the criminal, his special features and signs. When speaking by voice, before talking to a police officer, remember the exact expressions of the perpetrator. Write it down on a separate sheet.
Step 7
If the crime was committed by a stranger through direct contact, try to remember all the little things in his appearance and clothes, the manner of speaking, impulsivity, or, conversely, the slowness of movements. Clothing and its condition, moles or small scars, any information can be very valuable for law enforcement officers.
Step 8
It is equally important to get your memory to work so that you can compose a computer or subjective portrait of the villain. If the facial features of a criminal pop up in your memory, and you are asked to draw up an identikit, in no case refuse. The procedure for drawing up a subjective portrait is carried out by specially trained employees of the expert department who will help you remember the face of the unknown. In addition, the procedure is absolutely free, and if you manage to draw up at least a rough composite, you will take a big step towards solving the crime. And the interested party is, first of all, you yourself.
Step 9
When contacting the internal affairs body in person, take documents proving your identity. When committing a crime in the field of civil legal relations, it is important to have with you an agreement, an agreement to conduct a transaction, which will certainly be attached to the materials on your application.
