The key word here is that the fraudster's perceived need for something. In the years I have been working as an attorney and defender of people accused of fraud, as well as an anti-fraud advisor to corporations and businesses, I have found that people accused of fraud or people who have committed fraud are in pursuit of the high-life.
I am not saying, of course, that fraud is exclusively the avenue of the super rich or people who are trying to pursue the "lifestyles of the rich and famous." There are plenty of instances of what can be called "penny-ante fraud" where fraudsters use simple tricks or illusions to cheat their victims out of their wallets or a piece of jewelry.
However, the fraud cases we namely hear about or the fraud cases that make the news are people that are trying to acquire a lot of wealth. Let's face it: fraud schemes are basically long-term theft schemes. It's not a simple stick-up for a wallet. Fraudsters are generally out for a long-term gain.
