What Exactly Is a Fraud Case?

Generally, fraud occurs when a person or company willfully or recklessly misrepresents material facts when entering into a transaction with a consumer. A material fact is information that is important to a business exchange and can affect a person's decision about engaging in dealings with the other entity.

Fraud can also occur when the individual or company providing goods or services withholds information about the transaction to get the consumer to go through with it.

Common Types of Fraud

Because you can engage in numerous transactions with various entities, several different types of fraud exist.

Below are common kinds of fraud schemes:

• Automobile fraud: Nowadays, automobile fraud is very common. A car dealer may fail to tell you the true condition of a car or truck they want you to buy, especially if the vehicle had damage before. One practice they might engage in is odometer fraud, where they tamper with and turn back the miles on a vehicle to make it appear that it has been driven less than it actually has.
• Insurance/Healthcare Fraud: Usually, insurance fraud happens after a catastrophe, such as a fire, hurricane, tornado, or car accident. The insurance company will tell you that your damage is not covered under your policy. The catastrophe can also be from a medical condition you are unexpectedly diagnosed with, and the medical insurance company tells you that your condition is not covered.
• Mortgage Fraud: If you are behind on your payments, a shady, dishonest lender or mortgage broker may offer to "renegotiate" the terms of your mortgage – for a fee. Many times, these companies don't attempt to renegotiate; instead, they simply take the fee you paid them, committing fraud and making a profit at your loss.
