SIGNS OF FRAUDULENT DECEPTION IN THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF CRIMINAL LAW

Abstract

The article deals with the question of how the fraud can be committed. The authors focus on such methods as deception and abuse of trust, correlate them, identify similarities and differences. As a result of the study, it is established that fraud and abuse are independent types of fraud that can be committed both independently and in combination with each other. It should be noted that fraud and abuse of trust differ significantly from each other in the mechanism of criminal behavior. Thus, when committing fraud by deception, the perpetrator forms a criminal situation with negative environmental characteristics, and sometimes without him himself, which allows him to achieve a criminal result.
