It is an criminal action recognized in most states and common law countries, involving the fraudulent transfer of property.
It applies when someone willfully uses fraud or deceit to obtain legal title (ownership) of the property of another person.
The term is also sometimes used to refer to a private civil action based on the same behavior.

Lying to get something needed.
If someone comes to your door and tells you they will take your car by order of the bank unless you pay them $200.00, and you pay them, and then later find out that they were not from the bank, but just someone that took $200.00 from you - they took the $200.00 under false pretenses.
