Understand The Multiple Forms of Fraud
Fraud is a type of white collar crime and, like other such crimes, poses the risk of harsh consequences. If you have been accused of fraud, you need to know the details of the accusations in order to properly challenge them. In our 20+ years of service to the people of Indianapolis, our criminal defense firm has learned how to refute accusations about several types of fraud.
- Credit/debit card fraud: A very common form of fraud that involves using another’s credit card to access funds or personal information, or to make an illegal purchase.
- Check fraud: Although less regularly occurring today than it was a decade ago, check fraud is still a serious white collar crime that involves making or using falsified checks to unlawfully access funds that may not even exist.
- Bank fraud: Sometimes considered the most serious form of fraud, bank fraud can allow someone to illegitimately obtain assets and entire pieces of property. In other cases, people have been convicted after allegedly posing as an authentic financial institution.
- Identity theft: Any time someone’s private identifying information is unlawfully acquired, used, or sold, identity theft has occurred.
Although these are some of the most common forms of fraud, it is important to understand that nearly any act of deceit or dishonesty that leads to an unlawful act, especially wrongful financial gain, can be considered fraud.
