Orange County Credit Card Fraud Attorney
Defense Lawyers for Fraud & Theft in California
Credit card fraud is a form of white collar crime that involves using stolen, counterfeit or lost credit cards to purchase goods or services. Many forms of credit card fraud are also classified as internet crimes because they are committed on or using the web. A person committing this offense may attempt to defraud another by tricking them into providing their credit card information, such as through phishing or spoofing. A false website may be created that asks for the victim's credit card information for authorization purposes. An offender may create counterfeit credit cards in an attempt to defraud businesses or may publish or purchase a list of credit card numbers.
All forms of credit card fraud are serious crimes. Depending on the specific case, a defendant may face up to 10 or more years in state prison, along with heavy fines, restitution to the victim or victims, and much more. In addition to facing criminal penalties for a conviction, the offender's reputation both personally and professionally may be forever ruined.
