Fraud Crimes Lawyers

Fraud crimes are a type of white-collar crime that involve some form of deceit for financial gain. A person who intentionally uses lies and misrepresentation to obtain money or services from others can be guilty of fraud. Different jurisdictions charge fraud in different manners.

The Arizona Revised Statues A.R.S. § 2310 define fraud crimes as “Any person who, pursuant to a scheme or artifice to defraud, knowingly obtains any benefit by means of false or fraudulent pretenses, representations, promises or material omissions.” is charged with the crime of “fraudulent schemes” a class 2 felony.

Hawai`i treats fraud as a form of theft at H.R.S. 708-830. Hawai`i has also criminalized particular types of fraud, such as telemarketing fraud for example at H.R.S. 708-835.6. Many Hawaii fraud crimes are charged under general fraud (HRS 485A-501).

Federal law makes fraud illegal and sets forth the punishments for committing fraud in Title 47 of the United States Code. A federal sentence for fraud will depend on the amount of loss either intended or actually suffered by the victims. The intended loss could far exceed the actual loss, but the intended loss may be used to determine punishment.
