Would fraud be a sin? Even if the victim was a big insurance company, like workers comp?

Answer 1

Are you sure that the action is FRAUD or is it ABUSE? There is a DIFFERENCE.

ABUSE - Having a valid, legitimate claim, but later on, taking advantage, or "milking it" for more benefits.

FRAUD - making a false statement to intentionally mislead the other side into accepting your claim and / or paying benefits that you would not have been ordinarly entitled-to HAD THEY known BEFOREHAND about the misrepresentation. In other words, cheating to get benefits.

Your question appears to be a moral one.
IF you take a religous approach, then the answer would be "yes", as it violates 1 of the 10 commandments. IF you take an "eye-for-an-eye" approach, then some may say "no" it would not be a sin.
The reality is that it all comes down to what YOU feel.
