I read a story on the computer of a man saying he was many things and promised to be with the woman forever and then after she was divorced he left. Wondered what she can do to get even.

Depends on the state the woman lives in. In some states it is against the law to be infidel and have an affair while married. The person who was having the affair out of the marriage can actually be charged and arrested, and it makes them unable to receive alamony or a settlement in the divorce. If this woman lives in such a state and is facing this sort of situation, she can certainly sue for damages caused, however it's a hard case to win when you are the one in the wrong in the first place. These things can be very tricky. All I can say is, don't play with other people's hearts because it always comes back ten fold, even when you least expect it. Now fraud, well ... if you took money or scammed them out of some money or a possession, then yes ... you can be charged with fraud and many other things as well. Women often get scammed through online dating services and more times than not, their "mate" was a fraud. I just watched Dr. Phil last night, who was talking to several women and tracking down the men who defrauded them. Be careful who you let into your life online!

It Depends. There are situations where the answer is YES and situations where the answer is NO. If you falsely represented yourself through correspondence with them for a business transaction, then yes it's possible. There are several conditions which must be met, all of which depend on what particular type of fraud you are alledging.

It would depend on what you claimed to be.
Did you claim to be a doctor? Did you give medical advice? If yes, you might have some trouble.
Did you claim to be single? Were you actually married? If yes, there's nothing that can be done.

In the case you state - nothing. She should have verified who he was, not taken his word for it. And a couple can break up for any (and no) reason without consequence.

the way you present or misrepresent yourself is not a fraudulent act in itself--it would only become fraud or illegal if you did an illegal or fraudulent act as defined by law
