To be formally advised of the charges against you, and asked how you wish to plead, and (if you plead not guilty) whether you wish to retain counsel or have one appointed for you. It is also possible that you may be considered for bail at this same hearing, but that is not universally applicable in all juisictions.

How do you file criminal charges on someone for fraud?

Individuals cannot 'file charges.' Only a prosecutor may file criminal charges against somebody. Contact your local law enforcement authorities to make a criminal report. If your information and facts conform with the legal definition of "fraud" in your state they should proceed to make an offense report and an investigation.
