Fraud by false representation

Fraud by false representation occurs when someone intentionally deceives another person by providing misleading information or statements, often to gain something valuable, like money or property. For example, if a person sells a car while lying about its condition (like claiming it has never been in an accident when it has), they are committing fraud. The key elements are that the false information is presented knowingly, and the victim relies on that information to make a decision, ultimately suffering a loss as a result.
