There are a number of theft crimes that can be considered fraud. Generally, fraud consists of any intentional and deliberate deception that is made for personal gain. These crimes can be committed against people or businesses and can range from smaller incidents involving a few people to large scale schemes, such as in white collar crimes. Having handling fraud cases in both district and federal courts, our team at Garretson & Toth, LLC has the experience to represent clients charged with any type of fraud offense.
While there are many different types of fraud crimes, they all consist of a few essential elements. The most crucial components of a fraud crime involve a person's knowledge of false claims or actions and their intent that another person will act upon them. For example, this is the case when a person knowingly tries to pass a bad check. Some other examples of common fraud crimes are:
Penalties will always depend on the unique factors involved in a case, especially the amount of money that was unlawfully obtained, the number of victims and the criminal history of an alleged offender. Fraud crimes that involve interstate communication and larger schemes can also be prosecuted as federal cases, which make the stakes extremely high and the prosecution more invasive and aggressive.
