Charges of fraud doesn't require a contract to be in place. That's the whole point of criminal law, it's so that you don't need to add a "don't screw me over" clause to every interaction you make.
How is that a fraud, when I don't get any money from the scheme?
Gaining something isn't required: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraud#Civil_fraud
By this logic, vandalism would be fraud too.
