Paano po ba masasabi na stafa kung ito ay kusang loob na pinadala sa iyo sa pamamagitan ng bank account mo?


Translation: How can a lawsuit/case be called estafa, if it was willingly (free will) sent to your bank account?

Naku, I cannot answer your question. I do not know the facts. What I do know, is that estafa is a crime under the Revised Penal Code that has, for one of its elements, the element of fraud -- kailangan mayroong panlolokong naganap at ang isang tao ay na-engganyang pawalan ang tangan niyang pera at ito ay ibigay sa iba dahil sa isang pangako na hindi naman pala totoo.

Please see a lawyer. Estafa is a serious crime. Depending upon the amount involved, you may go to jail. So, for your own protection, please see a lawyer and take this seriously.
