What Is Fraud?
There are two principal methods of getting something from others illegally. Either you physically force someone to give you what you want, or you trick them out of their assets. Fraud always involves deception, confidence, and trickery. No definite and invariable rule can be laid down as a general proposition in defining fraud, as it includes surprise, trickery, cunning and unfair ways by which another is cheated.
The potential for fraud exists with virtually every transaction you conduct. To aid in the prevention of fraud, Grand Rapids State Bank has some tips on how to be alert and what you can do to minimize your risk of fraud.
