Fraud charges in California encompass a wide range of offenses involving deception for financial gain. Under Penal Code Section 532, fraud involves obtaining money, labor, or property through false pretenses.

Common fraud charges include insurance fraud, real estate fraud, credit card fraud, check fraud, and welfare fraud. Penalties vary widely depending on the type of fraud, the amount involved, and the defendant's criminal history.
