False Pretenses

False pretenses or obtaining property by false pretenses[1] is a common law crime in the United States, where its statutory forms handle situations not covered by the definition of larceny. In English law, these were deception offences defined in the Theft Act 1968 and Theft Act 1978, although they have now been repealed by the Fraud Act 2006 which has replaced them with different offences.
