Scams in Spain

Country-specific Spain reporting and recovery guidance is being researched for publication. Use verified national and local official sources for current advice.

Use official sources directly

Until this resource is expanded with reviewed local guidance, do not rely on contact details from an unexpected message or social post. Use official Spanish government, police, consumer-protection, financial-provider and cyber-security websites that you find independently.

If money or account information is involved

Contact the relevant bank, card issuer, payment provider or platform immediately through a trusted official channel. Preserve messages, receipts, links, account details and screenshots. If there is immediate danger, contact local emergency services.

General safety guidance

Pause before acting on urgency, do not share passwords or one-time codes, and do not send additional funds to anyone claiming they can guarantee a recovery. You can use the Scam Checker for educational pattern-based guidance.
