What Color is your Collar?

That sounds rather cryptic doesn’t it?  The subject is fraud and most Americans think of it as a “white collar crime” done at the corporate level by people wearing business suits.  According to Wikipedia fraud is defined as the deliberate deception to secure unlawful gain.  It can also be the act of depriving a victim of their legal rights.

Fraud comes in so many forms such as –

1.  Welfare fraud…a growing entity in an aging population

2.  Worker’s compensation fraud…be careful when you mess with “Big Brother”

3.  Swindle…depriving someone of money or possessions

4.  Computer fraud…so many innocent people have been involved
