" Escroquerie (fraud) commits anyone who, using a false name or a false quality, or misusing a real quality or using fraudulent machinations, deceives a natural or legal person and thus causes them to lose money, valuables or to the disadvantage of a third party to hand over any property, to provide a service or to carry out a legal transaction that results in an obligation or discharge.

Offense

The breadth of the French crime makes it necessary to deal with the fraud in a restrictive manner. The rejection of false omissions leads to the criminal liability of fraud only in the case of a positive act of deception; Fraud by omission is therefore only where there is special facts as bilking (filouterie) punishable.

The criminal liability of fraud increases according to Art. 313-4 if the victim is in need of protection because of his or her age and according to Art 313-2 if the victim is pretending to be a charitable cause.
