What is Fraud?

In general, fraud involves using deception or dishonesty to gain some sort of benefit or financial reward. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your case, you could be accused of violating state or federal laws, or possibly both.

Types of Fraud Offenses

Common forms of fraud that could lead to severe penalties upon conviction include:

  • Counterfeiting: Illegally producing or reproducing currency, documents, or certificates.
  • Check fraud: Knowingly passing or writing a check that is not valid or cannot be honored.
  • Credit card fraud: Stealing cards or information to use for illegitimate purchases.
  • Insurance fraud: Falsifying claims or evidence to win larger recoveries from an insurance provider following an accident or injury.
  • Tax fraud: Evading taxes to pay less than what should be owed to the government.

What are the Penalties for Fraud?

As no two forms of fraud are identical to the other, the punishments will also vary from case to case. However, convictions can include:

  • Lengthy prison time
  • High fines
  • Probation
  • Restitution – payment directly to the victims
