What is California penal code 532?

California PC 532 a), as it is commonly known, covers acts of fraud or the intent to defraud by means of "false pretenses," which means a person knowingly makes a material misstatement of some fact in writing that results in them obtaining some benefit of credit, thus allowing them obtain money or property, or the labor or services of another individual that they would not have received if not for the material misstatement. If the material misstatement is not made in writing, the prosecution must have two witnesses who corroborate that the defendant made a false statement. The punishment is a misdemeanor if the person personally and knowingly makes a misstatement in writing, confirms a misstatement that has been made by someone else knowing that it was a misstatement, knows that a misstatement has been made and makes the same misstatement in writing. The punishment is a felony if the person fraudulently misrepresents the identity of another person.
