About Fraud Charges
Fraud occurs when a person uses deception to benefit themselves. These charges often involve the theft of money, but fraud charges could also involve other property. Fraud charges can take a wide variety of forms, including:
- Identity theft – This offense occurs when someone claims to be someone they are not and uses their personal information for personal gain.
- Mail fraud – Mail fraud is any fraudulent activity that involves the use of the postal service.
- Wire fraud – Wire fraud is any form of fraud that involves electronic communication like phone calls, emails, social media messages or text messages.
- Securities fraud – Financial professionals who misrepresent the value of stock could be guilty of securities fraud.
California courts take fraud charges very seriously, and people can face significant penalties even if their deception is unsuccessful. The consequences of a conviction could include providing restitution to victims, fines and prison time. With so much at stake, the accused deserve skilled guidance as they build their defense.
