What exactly is fraud and how do I recognize it? [br]

Fraud is referred to as a deliberate misrepresentation of the facts about a product or service with the intent to force financial harm or ruin on the person involved. [br]In some situations, lying can be considered fraud, since the person being lied to is coerced into giving up money for some kind of scheme. Fraud, on the other hand goes much deeper than merely having someone lie about a product.[br]

Many fraud cases, as having reported to the FBI, have actually involve financial transactions that supposed white color criminals undertook. These transactions were usually very complicated and involved more than one party. All the parties involved were found to be professionals with specialized knowledge of the subject being investigated, and had full intent on misleading the public about it. [br]An example of misleading the public is when insider trading occurs. At the time of the occurrence, no one was the wiser because the investment broker was a professional with excellent credentials. So his clients and those involved in the scandal relied on him as being trustworthy and reliable to carry out what he was doing. [br]In a case like this, he would connive people to believe that a certain stock was going to sell fast. This way he could get the people involved to sell their stock to him in exchange for another kind of stock. The only problem is there is no other stock. He simply pockets the money and runs out of town. This is a case of fraud. [br] If you have become a victim of fraud or think you were, you have to prove it by demonstrating that the accused had prior knowledge about the product or service and knew it was worthless or nonexistent, but still deliberately misrepresenting the facts. You have to perform a thorough investigation in order to prove your status regarding whether it was fraud or not.
