Fighting to Hold Fraudsters Against the Government Accountable
Fraud is not always easy to detect. When people are deliberately cheating the government, they usually go to great lengths to try to hide their tracks. But sometimes an observant employee, contractor, or competitor notices that totals aren’t adding up, records are missing, or something is amiss.
If you find yourself in this type of situation, you may feel uncertain of whether you even have a whistleblower case. This page is designed to help you identify common fraudulent activities committed against the government, but it alone can’t answer all your questions. Speak with an experienced whistleblower attorney as soon as you suspect foul play with government funds.
Our attorneys can help you determine if the actions you have observed constitute government fraud. Also, the first person to come forward with actionable evidence and information is usually the one who receives a whistleblower reward when one is given, so contact Carolina Whistleblower Attorneys today for a free and confidential case evaluation.
What is considered fraud against the government?
If you suspect fraud against the U.S. government and have evidence that it was purposely orchestrated, you may have a whistleblower/qui tam case. The following is a list of fraudulent activities that are usually indicative that a person or organization is stealing from the government:
- Made false claims for loans or benefits
- Overcharged for good or services
- Delivered less money, property, or services than contracted for
- Billed for services not provided
- Falsified records for the purpose of financial gain
- Produced and/or delivered documentation falsely certifying that the government received property or services
- Purchased or received as a debt any public property from a government officer, employee, or military personnel
- Falsified payment records or statements or concealed, avoided, or decreased those payments
- Knowingly provided defective or dangerous products or drugs via government programs
- Made false claims for payment from the government
The list above includes broad categorizations of the ways companies and individuals defraud the government for personal gain. If you are unsure whether what you have observed constitutes fraud against the government, we can use our extensive financial, technical, and staffing resources to research similar cases, investigate your suspicions, and recommend a path forward.

If you’re wondering if it’s a good idea to speak with a whistleblower lawyer about what you know, let us set the record straight.
- Corporate ethics hotlines can be risky and may lead to termination. If you’ve already done this, call us immediately.
- Your coworkers could be aware of the fraud – or complicit in it – and you should not talk to them about it.
- The first claim to be filed under the False Claims Act can proceed – if you’re not first, you’re at a serious disadvantage and may get nothing (another reason not to speak to your coworkers about it).
- A confidential discussion costs you a few minutes, but could save you time, stress, and money.
