Looking to become a fraud

[mathdotcom]

So many here referring to others on the forum as frauds. What exactly is a fraud? Someone who promises points but doesn't deliver? No that's a stiff. Someone who is actually the same poster under a different name? No that's a ghost. Someone who pretends to be something they're not? No that's called participating in an internet forum.

What exactly is a fraud in the forum context?

I believe forum fraud would go like this....Say I was to ask you for your credit card information, because I was doing a survey for grammar school. You believed me that I was actually doing a survey and that I was in grammar school.

Now I took your credit card info, and made some transactions with it.

Bang : forum credit card fraud.

That just sounds to be like an efficient transfer of wealth from the weak to the shrewd.
