A weighing device which recognizes generation of fraud which makes the weight of a commodity registered for sales appears to be lighter is provided. When a weighing unit weighs weight of a commodity (article), a weighing fraud recognition unit recognizes that there is generation of weighing fraud that makes the weight of the commodity appear to be lighter than actual weight or a possibility of the generation of the weighing fraud. When the weighing fraud recognition unit recognizes that there is the generation of the weighing fraud or the possibility of the generation of the weighing fraud, the weighing indeterminacy unit does not determine the weighing performed by the weighing unit.
