No, it is not.    There are some "minor" crimes involving prescription fraud, such as having prescriptions written to the name of an insured relative, rather than pay retail price.  Most cases of prescription fraud, however, involve drug use and drug abuse. \n\n"Although there has been some debate as to what qualifies as a white-collar crime, the term today generally encompasses a variety of nonviolent crimes usually committed in commercial situations for financial gain."

Cybercrime is any crime that occurs in or through cyberspace.  Cyberspace is the world of computers.  So, cybercrime is a crime that occurs using a computer.  Examples include hacking/scamming/phishing personal info (which is a crime in and of itself) and then using that personal info to commit other crimes.  For instance, using a hacked credit card number to make purchases over the internet, using phished personal info to take over the identity of another person, or stealing money from bank accounts via the internet.  Also, included in this area would be those scams where a scammer befriends a person over the internet and then makes false claims to induce that person to send them money (such as "I won the lottery and I'll give you half, but I don't have enough money to buy a plane ticket to pick up my winnings, could you send me $2,000, I'll pay you back immediately......")

They are looking to see if you have too much outstanding debt.  If you do, you could be more likely to embezzle than someone who is financially sound.  They are also looking to see if you are going to be costly to them in that you might have your wages garnished or have court appointments to attend.

This sounds uncomfortably like money laundering, which is taking money earned by crime, and moving it into other accounts and investments in order to hide the monetary evidence of drug deals, corruption, bribery, etc.\n\nBefore giving them any real information (including your home e-mail address), try to discern what precisely they want you to do.  Have them be clear on the source of the money, and why you are needed to process that money.

Did you know that giving someone a bad check for payment of goods/services is a fradulent act....fraud is a criminal offence. Depending on how malicious you feel, you could "sic" the police on her by filing a report with the local police. Since you probably want to get your money, a demand letter stating your intent to file a complaint with the local police for "passing bad checks" if payment is not made in cash or toher certified funds, may actually do the trick.

First, let's look at the definition of "Fraud": "Intentional deception resulting in injury to another." The Elements of Fraud are: a false and material misrepresentation made by one who either knows it is a falsity or is ignorant of its truth; the maker's intent that the representation be relied on by the person and in a manner reasonably contemplated; the person's ignorance of the falsity of the representation; the person's rightful or justified reliance; and proxmiate injury to the person.\n\nIt "usually consists of misrepresentation, concealment, or non disclosure of a material fact, or at least misleading conduct, devices, or contrivance."\n\nIn accordance with Title 18 U.S.C., there are various degrees of fraud, from Bank Fraud to Mail/Wire Fraud to Insider Trading. All of the aforementioned are serious crimes and to some degree, Felonies. They are punishable by Fines to Prison time or both.\n\nThe U.S.S.Ct. would rely on the aforemention statutes, however, the Court is not the one that prosecutes in this matter. This is done by the US Attorneys' Office. \n\nKeep in mind that the U.S.S.Ct. is the court of last resort, where specific and selective Appeals are heard after all else has failed at the lower levels of the judiciary.

I'm sure there are different kinds, but the one that's prominent at present is where a couple of people conspire to cause a property value to be exaggerated and then they buy the property using someone else's ID and the mortgage co., gives them the money to buy the house and they abscond with the money.  The person whose ID was used has been known to get stuck with the bill....I watched W5 or some such tv show in Canada about it.
