Fraud Act, 2006, s 2:  "fraud by false representation"

Part of the problem at the moment that PCeCU, SOCA e-crime and the City 
of London Police all claim jurisdiction over these offences - it is this

However all that is being said is that there will be a consolidation,  
not how it will be achieved.
