Valdis,

Nitpicking someone's word choice can straddle the border between
debate and trolling but if you insist then I suggest you first learn
the meaning of the word. "Fraud" is about loss, not gain, and there's
nothing "personal" about it.

http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/fraud

"A false representation of a matter of fact—whether by words or by
conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of what
should have been disclosed—that deceives and is intended to deceive
another so that the individual will act upon it to her or his legal
injury."

Regards,
Bill Herrin
