Promissory Fraud.- In general, promises to do something in the future are not the basis for a fraud claim, even if it turns out that the promise is breached. However, in circumstances where the person making the promise never intends to perform, and where that knowingly false promise is made as part of a scheme to defraud, then the promise may give rise to a promissory fraud claim.
