The man allegedly pretended to be the victim of several unauthorised bank charges [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). After the procedures were carried out at the station, the detainee was placed at the disposal of the judicial authority [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). He was detained for a presumed estafa offence and, after the documentary procedures, was placed at the disposal of the court [[2]](https://www.tribunasalamanca.com/noticias/465479/detenido-en-salamanca-por-estafa-al-denunciar-cargos-fraudulentos-en-su-tarjeta-que-habia-realizado-el-mismo). ## The withdrawals The events took place in July [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). On the 23rd of that month the account holder made three consecutive withdrawals at the same gaming hall [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). They were one of 100 euros and two of 500 euros each [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). A fourth withdrawal followed the next day, for 200 euros, in the same gaming hall in Salamanca [[3]](https://lacronicadesalamanca.com/703187-denuncia-cargos-en-su-tarjeta-hizo-mismo-perder-1300-euros-en-salon-juegos/). The four withdrawals were made over two days [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). ## The complaint In early August he went to police premises to file the complaint [[3]](https://lacronicadesalamanca.com/703187-denuncia-cargos-en-su-tarjeta-hizo-mismo-perder-1300-euros-en-salon-juegos/). The police investigation was triggered a few days later, when the account holder went to police premises to report the four movements as fraudulent in order to reclaim the money [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). In his complaint the man stated he had not authorised the operations and that the bank card had always remained in his possession [[3]](https://lacronicadesalamanca.com/703187-denuncia-cargos-en-su-tarjeta-hizo-mismo-perder-1300-euros-en-salon-juegos/). He said he did not recognise the operations and that the card had never left his possession [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). ## How the investigation turned The investigation began from the complaint [[3]](https://lacronicadesalamanca.com/703187-denuncia-cargos-en-su-tarjeta-hizo-mismo-perder-1300-euros-en-salon-juegos/). Police investigations established that the person who made the withdrawals at the betting venue was the complainant himself [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). Agents identified the author of the disputed charges as the complainant and owner of the card [[2]](https://www.tribunasalamanca.com/noticias/465479/detenido-en-salamanca-por-estafa-al-denunciar-cargos-fraudulentos-en-su-tarjeta-que-habia-realizado-el-mismo). He turned out to be trying to recover money lost gambling [[3]](https://lacronicadesalamanca.com/703187-denuncia-cargos-en-su-tarjeta-hizo-mismo-perder-1300-euros-en-salon-juegos/). After authorship was confirmed, agents located and arrested the suspect for presumed estafa [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). ## What it means for you If you report charges on your card as fraudulent, the police investigation starts from your complaint [[3]](https://lacronicadesalamanca.com/703187-denuncia-cargos-en-su-tarjeta-hizo-mismo-perder-1300-euros-en-salon-juegos/). In this case, the complaint said the operations were not authorised and the card had always stayed with its owner [[3]](https://lacronicadesalamanca.com/703187-denuncia-cargos-en-su-tarjeta-hizo-mismo-perder-1300-euros-en-salon-juegos/). Investigators then established who made the withdrawals at the betting venue [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). Here, that person was the complainant, and the result was an arrest for presumed estafa rather than a recovered amount [[1]](https://www.salamancahoy.es/salamanca/ciudad/detenido-salamanca-denunciar-fraudulentos-cuatro-cargos-bancarios-20261106100708-nt.html). ## Sources 1.
