I wanted to ask, what happens if I sign a contract and then it turns out that the contract is a fraud, am I exempt from paying?

: Peace and Blessings I’m missing some details in your question in order to understand what kind of scam it is, so I’ll answer in general. Insofar as you signed a contract and later became clear that there was a clear fraud in the entire transaction, and the transaction is void. Such as a sales contract that was signed and then it turned out that the property is not the seller’s, etc., in such a case and in cases similar to this, the transaction is void and you do not have to pay anything. However, insofar as it is a fraud that is not so material as to cancel the bargain, such as that details were hidden or the buyer thought that the transaction was different from what it really is, it is necessary to check the language of the contract and check the details in order to know whether the transaction is void or not. Therefore, I recommend that you go to the judge who will hear both parties and consider and decide whether your case meets the definition of cancellation of the transaction or not. Wishing you success Sources and reasoning
PLEASE NOTE*
Attention: You should not learn from one case to another, each case must be analyzed individually. Generally speaking, it's always best to have contact with a Rabbi in person, not just virtual contact. Note that where there is a local Rabbi("Mara Deatra"), one should ask him. The answers are under the responsibility of the rabbi who responded, and not under the responsibility of the website and/or the Head of the Institution.
