I'm dining and dashing on this thread before it gets me banned. Y'all are cool.
I'll leave this thread with a short paragraph on the phrase "Fraud",
Fraud is when someone tricks or deceives you to gain a dishonest advantage – usually money, goods, services or property. There are many words used to describe fraud, such as scam, con, swindle, extortion, sham, double-cross, hoax, cheat and hoodwink. Although embarrassment or shame can be common reactions, you have no need to feel this way. Some people blame themselves after falling victim to fraud, but you're not to blame – only the offender is responsible for this crime taking place. Penalties for fraud offenses may include criminal penalties, civil penalties, or both. Most criminal fraud offenses are considered felony crimes and are punishable by jail, fines, probation, or all of the above. Civil penalties may include restitution (paying the person back) or payment of substantial fines (geared to punish the behavior). The penalties for your offense will depend on the nature, type, scope, and severity of the action and whether it was committed by an individual or an entity, such as a business, corporation or group.
