When a person uses deceitful tactics to acquire money, assets, property, or any form of financial investment, it is considered fraud. In many instances, fraud is considered a white collar crime and may be prosecuted as either a state or federal criminal offense.
Fraud involving financial institutions may be considered bank fraud and includes any type of deception used with the intent of defrauding a bank or other financial organization. A financial institution can be a federally insured credit union or bank, along with mortgage lenders, Federal Reserve banks and others that accept deposits.
