Mortgage fraud accusations can take on various forms.  Such charges can include:

• Employment fraud - meaning a misrepresentation of income by falsely claiming a higher company position, ownership of a non-existent company or the like.
• Occupancy fraud - an example of which is a borrower stating that an investment property is a primary residence in order to obtain a better interest rate on the loan.
• Appraisal fraud - where, for example, a property's value is overstated as part of a mortgage fraud plan.
• Cash-back schemes - this type requires appraisal fraud.  It defrauds lenders by inflating the property value, getting a higher loan amount and thus money back to the others involved in the transaction, such as seller and real estate agent.
