Fraud Law

Fraud is the conscious deception of another person or people, for the purpose of personal gain or to damage another individual. The specific legal definition of fraud varies by legal jurisdiction.

Fraud can be committed through many methods, including telephone, mail, and the internet, which accounts for two separate legal areas: computer crime and internet fraud. The difficulty of checking identity and legitimacy online, and the ease with which users can hide their location, contribute to making internet fraud the fastest growing area of fraud.

Acts which may constitute criminal fraud include bait and switch, bankruptcy fraud, embezzlement, false advertising, forgery, tax fraud, and a wide variety of other illegal acts.
