What Is Fraud?
Fraud is an intentional perversion of truth for the purpose of inducing another, in reliance upon the fraud, to part with some valuable thing belonging to him or to surrender a legal right. Fraud is different than negligence in that fraud is always positive and intentional, comprising all acts, omissions, and concealments involving a breach of legal or equitable duty and resulting in damage to another. Fraud is the illegal act of distorting information that causes an individual or organization to suffer damages or a monetary loss. One of the most common forms of fraud is embezzlement—the fraudulent appropriation of property by one lawfully entrusted with its possession. Embezzlement includes explicit intent of unjustly concealing activities to obtain assets under false pretense.
