Philadelphia Credit Card Fraud Attorney
Credit Card Fraud and Identity Theft Defense in Pennsylvania State and Federal Court
Credit card fraud charges cover everything from a single incident of using someone else's credit card to large-scale schemes in which private information is stolen via the Internet or mail. It is a felony that carries severe criminal penalties. Examples of credit card fraud include:
- Opening credit accounts using stolen personal information, such as stolen Social Security numbers
- Using someone else's credit card without authorization
- Applying for credit using someone else's name and personal information (including using a family member or child's personal information)
- Using telemarketing or online sales schemes to induce people to disclose their credit card information
- Creating a false identity in order to secure a loan, mortgage, or credit
- Creating shell businesses in order to obtain money through credit
- Internet crimes such as computer hacking to obtain confidential information, phishing, DNS hijacking
If you are facing criminal charges for credit card fraud, your case could be brought in state or federal criminal court. It's smart to work with a lawyer who has defense experience in both.
