I'd guess lying for financial gain can be prosecuted as fraud.

Same as lying about your previous salary.

So if a company tells me they don't have the budget to hire me and they really do, I should try to get them prosecuted for fraud? The company might be purposefully undervaluing me for their own financial gain. Lying goes both ways.

You can not be prosecuted for fraud for lying about your previous salary. That's ridiculous.
