What Constitutes a Fraud Crime in CO?

Fraud is a broad word that indicates deceit of some degree. Some of the most common types of fraud include credit card fraud, check fraud, insurance fraud, Medicaid fraud, Medicare fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, embezzlement, extortion, false claims, and bribery.

To constitute a fraud crime in Colorado, the following elements must be in place:

  • An individual or organization knowingly made a false representation of an important fact or event.
  • The false information was believed by the victim, or the person or organization to whom the representation was made.
  • The false representation was made with the intention that it would be acted upon.
  • The reliance on this false information resulted in a loss of money or property for the victim.

From this description, you can see that fraud is a fairly big “umbrella” term that covers a wide variety of crimes associated with intentional deception made for personal gain or harm to another, including many types of white collar and theft crimes.

Fraud crimes may be active or passive, meaning the crime could either be based on false representation of information, or the concealment of that information. Fraud crimes can also be committed for the benefit or a person or an organization.

To build a fraud case against someone, law enforcement officials will often investigate and gather evidence against a target for months or even years. By the time the authorities are ready to go to court, their case is often very strong, and the chances of conviction are incredibly high.

As mentioned above, fraud is a general term that covers a wide variety of criminal behaviors. Below, we’ve listed some of the cases we’ve defended frequently:
