Fraud related crimes are rather common in Georgia. The proof of this is the official statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia.[1] Thus, it is a priority for the state and society to combat and prevent fraud. This article studies fraud prevention according to Tore Bjorgo crime prevention model. This model is holistic and looks at crime prevention actions from different angles. Along with the theoretical materials this work studies court decisions in force and determines practical actions based on them. In the process of fighting fraud an active involvement of law enforcement agencies, society and individuals is essential. Fraud being a crime based on deception is a threat which citizens need to be better informed of. In line with the economic development of a country criminal law policy and action plan have to be established to ensure the desired result, crime prevention and control.
