As far as I know, the only thing Newton did that could be described as "fraudulent" was his false calculations for the speed of sound in air printed in his book "The Principia Mathematica" where he had clearly "massaged" the available factual data to fit in with his own calculations.
The Principia (certainly the first print) had a number of other errors, but that were just basically typos....
That's about it for Newton's fraud...
