Defending Against Fraud Charges
Fraud is one of the few crimes that can found that they fall under two separate types of crime. On one hand, fraud is often classified as a white collar crime, however, it is also more commonly known as theft. This is due to the fact that fraud is often simply defined as theft by deception. Rather than the more traditional forms of theft, like burglary, fraud does not employ physical means; instead, a fraud offender will utilize trickery to either deceive a person out of their assets or to wrongfully gain their trust. Some of the most common forms of fraud include the following:
- Counterfeiting;
- Embezzlement;
- False advertising;
- Forgery;
- Tax fraud; and
- Identity theft
