 Fraud is defined as a "knowing misrepresentation of the truth
or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to
his or her detriment." Black's Law Dictionary 685 (8th ed.
2005). While fraud is usually a tort, and therefore a civil
cause of action, when the conduct is willful, there may be
criminal prosecution. Id. Mortgage fraud, therefore, while it
has no official definition in Black's, can be defined as
committing some sort fraudulent activity in conjunction with
the mortgage process. Sometimes, when a person is investigated
for an attempt to defraud, which is defined as "caus[ing]
injury or loss to (a person) by deceit," id. at 456, there may
be no actual loss or injury to another person during the
investigation. This is one of the hardest things for a person
who is being investigated to comprehend. Therefore, it is
essential that people involved in any way in the real estate
industry understand how the FBI investigates and classifies
mortgage fraud and what has and has not been deemed to be
fraud. |
