Spanish term or phrase: timo del tesoro
"En el caso de marras, estamos frente a lo que la doctrina llama "Abuso de Credulidad" o "timo del tesoro", bien como lo expresa Hernando Grisanti Aveledo "Se consuma con frecuencia, merced a la credulidad y codicia del sujeto pasivo, quien desea lograr una suma cuantiosa, sin esfuerzo alguno''. La norma castiga el engaño de esta naturaleza, pues el sujeto activo utiliza el verbo ofrecer, que significa prometer. El artificio usado para convencer al crédulo, es que el negocio pueda tener apariencia de legítimo, por otra parte la oferta tiene que hacerse a cambio de dinero para que se traduzca en el provecho que se trata de lograr con la oferta, perfeccionándose o consumándose una vez que el agente ha obtenido el provecho injusto en perjuicio del defraudado."
Se trata de un juicio llevado a cabo en Caracas, Venezuela, por el delito de estafa agravada continuada.
