Cybercrime is a crime in which a computer is the object of the crime (hacking, phishing, spamming) or when a computer is used as a tool to commit an offense (aggravated identity theft).

Securities Fraud

Securities fraud, also known as stock fraud and investment fraud, is a deceptive practice in the stock or commodities markets that induces investors to make purchase or sale decisions on the basis of false information, frequently resulting in losses, in violation of securities laws.

Health Care Fraud

Health care fraud is a type of white-collar crime that involves the filing of dishonest health care claims in order to turn a profit. Fraudulent health care schemes come in many forms.

Tax fraud essentially entails cheating on a tax return in an attempt to avoid paying the entire tax obligation.

Examples of tax fraud include claiming false deductions; claiming personal expenses as business expenses; using a false Social Security number; and not reporting income.
