The more common term is ';Theft by false pretenses.';





It is where a person gains property of another as a result of a material misrepresentation of fact.





A good example: You go to the welfare office. You state that you have three kids (in reality, you have none). You receive an extra $500 because you have three kids. That would be theft of $500 by false pretenses.What is ';theft-false representation?
when you steal something by getting someone to give it to you because they think you are someone else, or you have fooled them in some other way (like selling them a box of rocks that is supposed to be a tv)
