Nope not fraud, in the first examples, the offense against the state would be called something like "Unlicensed practice of ...", if they took money or value from the client, that would be fraud, sans the value, it would be malpractice (and if the fake doctor touches the person during an 'exam' it would be battery). As for the ones working a job unlicensed, again their is the jb, the economic value, but even then, it would likely be prosecuted as something other than fraud, So if the MOH recipients received a stipend and someone falsified documents to receive the stipend that would be charged as fraud?

Interesting, I didn't know that there had to be some economic benefit associated with it in order to be considered fraud. Misrepresentation alone wasn't all it entailed. Thank you Lefty.
