Answer:

An instance of deception, trickery or deceit

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraud is an instance of deception, trickery or deceit. It is an intentional act of cheating others, for unethical & unjustified gain to self (at the cost of harm to others).

A copy meant to look like the original (for wrong purposes) is counterfeit. Sham or poseur who makes false identity & or expertise claims.

Eg : Many people are harmed in fraudulent financial activities.
