Fraud

Fraud is a broad criminal offense under North Dakota law, typically involving deceit, misrepresentation, or manipulation used to gain money, property, services, or legal advantages. This crime can take many forms, such as credit card fraud, insurance fraud, healthcare fraud, check fraud, identity theft, or fraud involving public assistance.

According to North Dakota Century Code § 12.1-23-01 and related statutes, fraud can be prosecuted under multiple classifications depending on the nature of the deception, the value involved, and whether the fraud was committed against a person, business, or government agency.

Fraud charges are often complex and involve financial records, digital evidence, and witness statements. Even a first-time offense can result in serious consequences, especially if the alleged fraud impacted a vulnerable victim or involved a large sum of money. Prosecutors in Bismarck, Minot, Williston, and Dickinson aggressively pursue these cases, especially when public trust is involved.
