That's not fraud. Fraud is pretending to impersonate another person or organisation, or saying that you're representing a charity and are collecting for them.
If you made it clear that the money was for you, I am pretty sure that is legal, even if it's unscrupulous.

That's gold. I'm sure I could make money off this. Set up a site threatening to kill yourself with a big sob story about debt and your life falling apart. Tell people that you'll kill yourself unless they donate. Some stupid people would definitely give you money. Even if you only made $200 it would be worth it.
you could have two sides to the donation drive, suicide = yes and suicide = no. that way you make money from the morons on either side.

You know if I was a sly attorney I bet I could get it on some sort of tort stating that since I don't actually kill myself if someone DOESN'T give me money then I violated said tort...

To some extent.
I am still trying to enjoy programming as a free time sort of thing after doing it day in day out for 3 years on projects I hated. The pleasure is slowly coming back...
I am working on that twitter rip off joke site... twatter.me and I want to redo my flickr rip off site as well... http://brightr.net
I am also in the midsts of getting my own development/design firm up and running, but my partner lives in Canada so its a bit hard.
I am a dreamer/planner type person more than I am one to get into the nitty gritty implementation details though. Middle managment here I come!
