Depends on the jurisdiction. In the US, the answer is "you really don't want to find out". In my home country, it's actually quite interesting: fraud usually requires (a) a lie (conveying wrong information with intent), and (b) a financial cost to the other party, and (c) a financial gain for you. It's debatable at that level, already, because their loss is rather hard to quantify, and probably small. Plus, I believe your financial gain must be directly related to their cost. And, finally, you actually have to lie to a human being. Lying to a machine doesn't qualify. There was a guy who earned some 5-digit Euros amount by producing fake bottles and feeding them into deposit machines–no crime! |
