Interesting but the report doesn't name the "agency". I wonder if it is/was registered with Proz?

| It looks like the comment on the article that named the agency was erased | May 31, 2012 |
I am guessing that the company in question is the one that has 10 BB entries of 1 and one of 2, with corresponding comments re non-payment.
I guess that the laws in Spain are strict re naming the accused and their companies (note that the last names of the couple are not provided in the article).
Anyway, I would appreciate if someone would confirm that the above deduction is correct.
Thank you.

The question in the first comment there gives the answer, I guess.

Thank you.
That first comment was not there about 8 hours ago.
I've never seen such a horrible BB record. I guess that these people had quite a scam going.
Nice to see they are out of commission, at least for a while....

Someone should contact all those who posted on the BlueBoard and let them know how they can contact the Spanish police and add to the charges of these criminals.

| Is the police' action approriate? | May 31, 2012 |
Is not making a payment due a criminal act? If so, why the hell do so many agencies dare to refuse to pay?
I'm one of the victims of a guy in Houston, who disappeared owing me $700, and at least 7 thousand dollars to other translators.

But identity theft is. And selling stolen goods or services.

Police action was not taken on the default alone. Here's a translation of paragraph 7 of the article:
"For this reason, the parties under investigation are attributed 17 counts of identity theft, 12 crimes of fraud, 24 offences of fraud, two offences of harassment and one offence of threats. The amount embezzled adds up to some 20,000 euro."

(Small claims -- by definition, under 3000 euro -- are resolved in Spain through the "proceso monitorio", a simplified complaint that does not require any lawyers). ▲ Collapse
