Fraud is a very specific (and hard to prove) term of art in US law.

There is no US law that would stop someone from making expressions that are later determined to be fraudulent.

Note, commercial speech (e.g., advertisement) is considered a less protected species of speech and may be subject to prior restraint in limited viewpoint neutral circumstances.
