Forgeries
Forgeries are unauthorized copies or imitations of genuine objects, signatures, or documents created with the intent to deceive. They aim to appear authentic, often to gain financial or personal benefit dishonestly. For example, a forged signature falsely representing someone's approval or a fake painting mistaken for an original. Detecting forgeries involves examining details, materials, and context to distinguish them from genuine items. Forgeries are considered fraudulent and illegal, as they undermine trust and can cause financial loss or harm to reputation.
