1.1 Elements of Misrepresentation in Fraud:
1.1.1 Words: In fraud, misrepresentation through words involves making
false statements, lies, or deceptive claims to deceive someone into taking a
particular action or making a decision to their detriment. This can be done
verbally or in written form, such as through contracts, emails, or
advertisements. Here's an example:
Example: A person sells a used car and assures the buyer that the vehicle is
in perfect condition and has never been in an accident. However, the seller
knows that the car has been involved in a major accident and has several
hidden mechanical issues.
1.1.2 Conduct: Misrepresentation through conduct refers to actions or
behaviors intended to mislead or deceive another person. It involves actions
that create a false impression or lead someone to believe something that is
not true. Conduct misrepresentation can include actions like concealing
important information, providing misleading gestures, or creating a false
appearance. Here's an example:
Example: A company advertises a new health supplement and runs a
commercial showing a group of people claiming significant weight loss after
using the product. However, the company has paid these individuals to
