Lying to get a financial gain is the definition of fraud.

That said, it's one of those technically illegal things that no one in a million years is going to get charged for.

You’re right, and I didn’t know that. Fascinating law. I blame being ESL.

However, I wonder if it actually is fraud. Intent matters. The intention isn’t to defraud the employer, but rather to short-circuit the whole process of job skipping for a correct wage. So it’s actually not an unfair gain, and that is precisely why I think it’s not even immoral in this case.
