Fraud is a criminal offence that involves the depriving of others of goods, property, money or services through a variety of means including, but not limited to, forging documents and cheques, identity theft, breach of trust, credit card fraud and a breach of electoral law. It falls under the broad category of white collar crimes and is classified as either being Fraud Under $5000 or Fraud Over $5000. It differs from robbery and theft in that the perpetrator typically seeks to conceal their actions while committing a fraud, and that the Crown typically prosecutes this crime on a more serious basis than other types of offences.
