Misrepresenting yourself in a business transaction for your own benefit is called fraud.
- mbesto 9y agoYour own personal benefit or the company's benefit? Because if the latter, I have a queue of tech start-ups ready to be prosecuted.
- taneq 9y agoBoth. As for your tech start-ups, are they making grandiose claims for where they want to be in 5 years' time? Or misrepresenting what they currently have? If the latter then they absolutely could be prosecuted.
- brianwawok 9y agoIf you are broke but borrow a BMW from a friend to go to an important client meeting fraud? You misrepresented yourself. Maybe shady. Not sure if it is illegal. Clearly there has to be more to it than that?
- DonHopkins 9y agoIf you photoshop the name of the client onto the title of the BMW, tell the client you're giving them the BMW in exchange for working for you, but then don't give them the BMW.
- dragonwriter 9y agoDriving a BMW is not a representation of fact beyond maybe “I have permission to drive this BMW”, and would thus not be a misrepresentation of fact, material or otherwise.
