Financial Fraud can be broadly defined as an intentional act of
deception involving financial transaction for the purpose of personal
gain. Fraud is a crime and it is also a violation of civil law in
Dallas. Financial fraud
and theft is big business these days—just ask the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), currently plagued by a shortage of investigators
because today’s criminal is both creative and resourceful.
If you don’t think that statement is
gospel, grab a remote control and catch a few episodes of the TV show,
“White Collar.” Unfortunately, the FBI isn’t the only agency straining
to meet increased investigative demand: State’s Attorney’s offices are
operating at maximum capacity to identify, track down and prosecute
theft and fraud.
What’s led to this rise of white collar
crime in the U.S.? Greed. Opportunism. Even psychology. Many criminals
are willing to risk jail and worse to try to get the better of the
government, large and small businesses and consumers—they love the game
and want to see how much they can get away with.What constitutes theft
or fraud? Here are a few examples:
- Scammers steal money and/or property from financial accounts; (example: targeted cashier’s check fraud).
- Thieves use fake documents and falsified credentials to help themselves to other people’s assets.
- Cyber-pirates hack and phish to find and use credit card numbers, bank accounts and get Social Security access.
- Anyone from Nigerian “investors” to guys offering cheap household repairs can fit under this umbrella.
