dc.description.abstractDeception and fraud are generic concepts, The terms are usually associated with illegal actions or practices that are dishonest and deceptive. This paper attempts to examine the natural of deception from a socio-philosophical perspective, drawing from sociological abuse of trust vis-a-vis the presence and exploitation of legitimate 'risks' are important prerequisites for deception. the concepts of deception and fraud vary geographically and culturally acceptable and applies varying degrees of sanctions from moral condemnation to criminal proceedings and sanctions depending on the severity of the violation. Like with other types of human behavior the nature and types of deception and society's reaction to it changes over time. Although certain deceptive behaviourss that are deemed 'harmless' exist in every society, they should be properly managed. Hence, all agents of sociolixzation (for example; family, schools, and organizations) and especially agents of law enforcement (who implement the 'peoples' verdict and disapproval for certain actions and behaviors) should cooperatively work towards a society almost devoid of deception and fraud. deception and fraud challenges the level of trust and undermines the moral foundation of society, distorts, human interaction and endeavors and could lead to various types of theft and corruption. In addition, reputation of individuals, groups, organizations and the country as a whole could be affected negatively.en_US
