Fraud is the one and only word needed.
Via https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fraud https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fraud: The crime of stealing or otherwise illegally obtaining money by use of deception tactics.
Legally speaking
> Fraud must be proved by showing that the defendant's actions involved five separate elements:
> (1) a false statement of a material fact ["I am John Doe"],
> (2) knowledge on the part of the defendant that the statement is untrue [they are not John Doe],
> (3) intent on the part of the defendant to deceive the alleged victim [they want money],
> (4) justifiable reliance by the alleged victim on the statement [bank credit approves access based on identity], and
> (5) injury to the alleged victim as a result [bank loses customer money].
