If something bad happened to the money in your bank account, such as it being taken without your consent, or you were tricked into making payments you wouldn’t otherwise have made, would it be best, or clearest, to say:

Read on for context…
Monzo. Please sort out your copywriting. I can take the emojis but not these stupid Americanised words.
The word you’re looking for is defrauded.
Technically there is also difference, as in fraud is lying to benefit from it, defraud is specifically to financially gain.
So you can be “frauded” but it sounds weird instead of being “a victim of fraud”.
Defrauded is the correct word.
You could also claim that English is not a codified language, like say French, so there is no such thing as ‘not a word’ in English. If a ‘made up’ English word is accepted as a word by the general population, it is considered a real word.
Google 
is prime example
My favourite example of this effect is how ‘literally’ can now mean ‘figuratively’. 
That literally grinds my gears. 
The difference is that defraud is a verb and fraud is a noun.
That’s why ‘you have been frauded’ sounds wrong. Because it is.
Not necessarily. Even though there is no “boss of English” like for Spanish or other languges, you can still follow guidlines from Oxford, Cambridge, and so on.
Of course there is a moment where a word becomes widely accepted like verb “google” but it’s different. “frauded” is just a word that doesn’t exist. It doesn’t bring anything new and only distorts the correct one…
What I find weird is how we have defraud as de is usually the opposite.
Decalcify / Calcify
Decode / Encode
Destruct / Construct
Defrost / Frost
I’m sure someone will know why it’s defraud.
I know you can follow guidelines for English. I did follow guidelines during my degrees. I teach English to 7, 8 and 9 year olds following a ‘National Curriculum’ for English.
However, the simple fact is English is not codified language. The French language is codified for example. It has the Académie Française who dictates what is or is not a French word. English doesn’t have this equivalent. I can set up a dictionary and claim to be the Master of the English language. That is all what it is, a claim and collection of English words. It doesn’t make it codified.
One gains; another loses.
Please sort out flammable / inflammable for me! 
Sure, I agree on codification and rules but the main test as to whether something is ‘wrong’ is whether it sounds wrong to competent speakers of the language.
And ‘I’ve been frauded’ definitely sounds unnatural to me.
I’ve actually done a quick Google and the de is usually Latin for undoing the action like defrost, however in the case of defraud it’s the French to blame.
The de in defraud is not taking it away from someone.
Think there’s a QI episode for that. 
How can it not ?? 
Americanized 
The one that’s doing my head in is people using “inbox” as a verb. I often wonder if they ask their postman to “hallway floor behind the front door” them their letters.
I think we need Entomology Man in this thread.
Frauded upsets me.
