Fraud is a crime and it is also a contravention of civil law. Financial fraud
can also be defined as wilful act of dishonesty involving financial transaction

Many times, it has also been experienced that investment
brokers may present a very lucrative picture to his clients with an opportunity
to purchase shares / bonds of an X Company and projects the return as double of
the investment in shortest possible time. His status as professional gives him
that trustworthiness. Those who believe the opportunity to be upright
contribute worthwhile amount of cash and receive veritable looking bond
document in return. If the investment broker is fully aware that no such
treasury exists and still he receives payment for worth less bonds, then it is
one of the fastest growing frauds and victim may sue him. In India such crimes
keep taking place very often and such criminals with their knowledge and loophole
in the system try to manipulate the facts and also Indian courts take very long
time to settle such matters or bring the culprits to justice.
