In these offenses, the perpetrator intentionally deceives another party, leading to a loss or disadvantage to the victim. Fraud can manifest in various forms, such as credit card fraud, internet scams, identity theft, and more complex schemes like mortgage or Medicare fraud. These crimes can be prosecuted under state or federal laws, depending on the nature and scope of the fraudulent activity.
