Forgery is the process of creating, adapting, or imitating objects or documents. The most common forgeries include money, works of art, documents, diplomas, and identification. Forgeries often accompany other fraud such as application, insurance, or check fraud, financial identity takeover, and so forth. In a less traditional sense, forgeries do not have to be physical but may also be electronic, such as fake personal pages on social media Web sites or adaption of e-mail correspondence
