Nope, as others said, it's just taking advantage of a discount. There's actually no verbiage that says if you cancel before the shipment, it's fraud. You've just made assumptions that aren't valid. Amazon is the one that sets the term of the deal. If they didn't want you cancel, they could either rescind the discount or not allow you to cancel. It's completely legal to cancel.

Yeah, also not a crime not to pay for Prime, they offer you a free trial about once a year I think for 30 days. I've used it a few times.
