Zero hits for the term on Google book search. SemperBlotto 16:25, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

No Google Groups, News, or News Archive hits either, and a handful of Web hits. I think this can be speedily deleted.​—msh210℠ (talk) 16:50, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Not everything is found in Google books. Gotobed 16:34, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Indeed. If everything were, then this entry would have been deleted instead of brought to Requests for verification.​—msh210℠ (talk) 16:47, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

I think this user created the entry at urban dictionary too. ~ lexicógrafo | háblame ~ 17:31, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Just created yesterday on Urban Dictionary (only one thumbs up!). No hits at all at scholar or news. 1 scanno, 1 invisible at bgc. The 2 hits at groups were at ineligible sites and apparently related to a soap-opera character named "Cane". There are probably some colorful terms for this kind of thing, for example, in cant, but the closest item found at OneLook by searching for "* fraud" was boring, NISoP (?) w:Insurance fraud. That or disability fraud might be worth an entry. DCDuring TALK 17:08, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Even the 20 web hits are scannos (for "hurricane fraud", "healthcare fraud", etc), the terms separated by punctuation, or the items already mentioned. DCDuring TALK 17:15, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Patent nonsense, deleted. Mglovesfun (talk) 17:35, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Striking. —Ruakh_TALK 13:43, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
