Summary/Abstract: The present research work dwells on the typical metaphorical sources for the fraud in the Bulgarian and German language and cultural community. In both cultures one and the same metaphorical sources are the devil, the darkness/ the dark, the dirthiness/ dirty, the stink, the bait, etc. The differences in the use of metaphorical sources come as a result of the coexistence with other linguistic and cultural communities.
