A forger is an individual who engages in the act of forgery, which involves creating or altering documents, signatures, or other items with the intent to deceive or defraud others. Forgery typically involves the unauthorised imitation or replication of a genuine document or signature in order to gain a benefit or advantage, such as obtaining money, property, or legal rights. Forgers may use various techniques, such as copying handwriting, altering dates or amounts, or creating counterfeit documents, to make fraudulent representations appear legitimate. Forgery is considered a serious crime and is punishable by law.
