Banking fraud is often referred to as a white-collar crime. Types of offending behaviour include payment card and bank account fraud. Bank card fraud, involving the use of payment cards and bank accounts, includes use of another person’s card, cloning another person’s card, taking over or sending instructions relating to another person’s bank or card account, and use of another person’s cheque.

Insurance fraud: fraudulent claims by or against the insurer (claims that are entirely fraudulent and those exaggerated through either claiming for injury, loss, or damage that did not occur, or increasing the value of a genuine claim for injury, loss or damage) and supplier fraud (whereby builders, motor repairers and other trades-people engaged by insurers to repair insured property charge for work they have not completed or inflate the cost of their work).
Obtaining Credit Through Fraud
