Fraud

In criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them - usually, to obtain property or services from him or her unjustly. Fraud can be accomplished through the aid of forged objects. In the criminal law of common law jurisdictions it may be called "theft by deception," "larceny by trick," "larceny by fraud and deception" or something similar. Fraud can be committed through many methods including mail, wire, phone and the internet.

If you are an illegal alien or a legal resident but not a U.S. Citizen you could be deported or denied continued legal status in the U.S. by Homeland Security (Immigration Department - ICE) after you are convicted of fraud crimes
