Not so sure this would be fraud. It is possible to be ignorant to this statute, no?
How would E&O react to that? Does their definition of fraud include intent?
If it is on frame it must have HUD tags for Fannie Mae financing. If it has anything else, the appraiser is negligent and reporting it falsely. As that cop told me at 17, ignorance of the law is no excuse. I had no front license plate and got a ticket for my ignorance.
