Maybe it shouldn't be espoused as science per se, but I think calling it a fraud is equivalent to my calling your belief system a fraud. Smart people can believe foolish things. Smart people can believe things that are wrong. Simply believing something that is foolish doesn't make someone a fool. If you were believing something that was false, or was a fraud, would you not want someone to tell you? If you have sufficient proof for what you believe, and it withstands critical examination, does it matter if others consider it foolish or a fraud? Criticism of beliefs is not the same as criticism of believers.
