Original source (English)
To dream that you are defrauding a person, denotes that you will deceive your employer for gain, indulge in degrading pleasures, and fall into disrepute.
If you are defrauded, it signifies the useless attempt of enemies to defame you and cause you loss.
To accuse some one of defrauding you, you will be offered a place of high honor.
