Intentional fraud

Intentional fraud involves deliberately deceiving someone to gain an unfair advantage or benefit, often for personal or financial gain. It includes actions like falsifying information, misrepresenting facts, or manipulating situations to deceive others. Unlike honest mistakes, intentional fraud is a conscious choice to deceive and can lead to financial loss, legal consequences, and damage to trust. It occurs in various contexts, such as business, banking, and personal transactions, and is considered a criminal offense because it violates legal and ethical standards.
