Skimming (Fraud)

Fraud, Deception and Corruption Offenses

Skimming is a white-collar crime in which a person takes cash from the daily receipts of a business, or from any cash transaction involving a third interested party, and reports a lower total to government authorities than was actually received. Its formal legal term is defalcation, and it is distinct from the device-based capture of payment card data known as card skimming.

Has Offense Grade

Entity-backed identity for the offense-grade enum value this offense already carries, resolved to a crime concept by an explicit value-to-entity map (phase 3 bucket conversion, docs\design_entity_backed_browse_buckets_20260928.md). The offense-grade fact itself stays on the offense unchanged.
