An act is considered fraud when it involves intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, typically accompanied by misrepresentation of facts or concealment of information. In contrast, a mistake is an unintentional error that arises from misunderstanding or lack of knowledge. Fraud requires a deliberate intent to deceive, while a mistake does not involve malicious intent. Thus, the key difference lies in the presence of intent to mislead.
