For example, payday loans are explicit in saying they will charge you a percentage of your payday for a 14 day loan. But if you do the math, it's about 1000% interest annually
It's not a crime either, but it's predatory
> For example, charging 17% on a credit card bill when the interest rate is 5.25%
That's not fraud or a financial crime though, since the interest rate is prominently shown on the front page of every credit card bill.
If they're telling you it is 6% and then charge you 17% without explanation, that would be fraud.
