<BR%20/>Tags: Legal Terms, Sick Person, Medical Bills, Sick Persons <BR%20/>If you made a website and ask for donations to fund a sick persons medical bills and there was no sick person would this be illegal, and if so what is it called. Im gussing fraud, but what would be the legal terms for this action.
Yes, it’s fraud.
Obtaining money by deception.
Prison is what happens to you if you commit fraud.
You WILL be arrested.
It is fraud. You will be sent to jail and forced to pay back all the money plus fines
In most states I believe it would fall under a statute very similar to “Obtaining Money Under False Pretenses”. It may need to reach a certain amount to be a felony. Not sure on this.
Didn’t you read the story of the woman who lied and said she had quintuplets. In jail
you should try and do this to find out
yes, spend some of the money on KY jelly ,when you get to jail your gonna need it.
