The early warning signs of fraud are, usually, always ignored. There are warning signs for every type of fraud out there. To understand the warning signs of fraud, we must first know what fraud is.

Embezzlement seems to be a white collar crime that is victimless.

If they were defrauded in the amount of $93,000 it would affect educational programs and community outreach.

The harsh reality is that some of these health insurance claims are fraudulent. Although they constitute only a small fraction, those fraudulent claims carry a very high price tag.” (Challenge of Health Care Fraud, n.d.)

For employers-private and government alike-health care fraud increases the cost of providing insurance benefits to employees and, in turn, increases the overall cost of doing business (Challenge of Health Care Fraud. n.d.) .
