Filing for Estafa Case

Hi,

I would just like to inquire kung panu mag file ng estafa case. Niloko po kme ng isang nagpakilalang taga Meralco to settle the arrears sana at natakbuhan ng 20k. I know mejo maliit lang ang halaga pero ang gusto ko po sana e mabigyan ng leksyon ang nanloko smen at di na umulit pa. Nag file na po kme ng reklamo sa baranggay unfortunately di pa din naibalik ang perang kinuha smen. Ang problema ko eh paalis ako ng bansa this month, pede ko ba tong ihabilin na lang sa mga kamag anak ko? o kelangan ako pa mismo ang umattend ng mga hearings? Ang sabi sa baranggay, they will give us Certificate to File Action. From there, anu na po ang kelangan kong gawin?

Thanks in advance.

next is to file a complaint affidavit at the prosecutor's office.

are you the only person who personally talked to the respondent and gave him the money. if there were other witnesses then they can be the complainant. or you can be the complainant, but you will have to attend at the trial.

you can issue an SPA to someone to represent you at the hearings, but the initial complaint affidavit must be sworn to by you personally.
