The problem is difficult to stop because the scam artists increasingly use modern technology – including caller ID spoofing and throw-away cell phones – to conceal their identity and location and evade law enforcement. While the law of fraudulent misrepresentation varies in some respects from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, here we’ll use a general statement of its elements from the Restatement 2d of Torts. A statement containing a half-truth may be as misleading as a statement wholly false. If a patient is highly suspicious, there might be a question of whether he relied on the misrepresentations or whether his reliance was justifiable, and some jurisdictions do impose a duty to investigate where there is reason to suspect a statement is false. Let’s turn to our cancer patient, because to successfully make out a case for fraudulent misrepresentation, we have to show that the patient (a) relied on the misrepresentation in deciding to purchase a reiki treatment and that (b) the reliance was justified. Was our patient’s reliance on the hospital’s claims justifiable? We’ve already determined that the patient relied on the hospital’s information – otherwise, why would he buy the treatment?

If so, then hospitals and other health care facilities are needlessly subjecting themselves to liability, something they generally go to great strides to avoid. Whether a misrepresentation is fraudulent refers solely to the hospitals knowledge of the untrue character of it representations. The law of fraudulent misrepresentation does not get into issues of whether the hospital’s intent was pure or whether it was “trying to help.” “Intent” refers to the intent to withhold information, or to give false information, not intent in some evil sense. 1. The hospital fraudulently made a misrepresentation of fact or opinion. As reiki has no known ill effects, a fact that undercuts its very credibility as a treatment, we can safely assume physical harm won’t be an issue. In short, you can’t represent something as a fact unless you indeed know it is a fact, or at least honestly think you know it as a fact, without doubts or a disregard for the facts.
