For the most part, we have good intentions when we carry out various acts in our lives. Whether it is at home, school, work or in the general public, we seek to do well onto others. However, some things are carried out with bad-faith, often seeking to selfishly benefit him or herself. While these acts could simply mean a person is dishonest or willfully acted deceitful, they could also mean that he or she committed a crime.
Fraud is a broad term that refers to a wide variety of fraudulent acts. These acts are intentionally deceitful for the personal gain of the person committing them. These acts can occur through the mail, Internet, phone or by wire. Common types of fraud include bankruptcy fraud, tax fraud, identity theft, insurance fraud, mail fraud, credit card fraud, securities fraud, wire fraud and telemarketing fraud.
