Step-by-step explanation:

Fraud is a deliberate misrepresentation of facts with a motive to profit from the deception. Through fraud, the perpetrator gains unlawfully, or the victim is denied justice or rights. Withholding vital information in a transaction to profit from the other parties ignorance is considered fraud.

Kari uses deception to convince Mr Linc to purchase the property. Intentional misrepresentation of facts is a fraud.

Since it's not easy to distinguish a fraud from honest people, performing due diligence before committing to a transaction is important.
