Mail Fraud, Wire Fraud & Other Forms of Fraud Defense Attorneys

Mail fraud is one of the most common federal offenses to date. Scams, schemes, and other fraudulent activities can be widespread. This particular version of fraud utilizes the US Postal Service to aid in the commission of the act. They can include but are not limited to brochures, sweepstakes scams, insurance, inheritance and any other paper distributions attempting to collect funds. The documents can be sent via paper, and electronic schemes to be considered mail fraud.

Wire Fraud involves schemes of fraud that use “wires” such as telephone or cellular phone that cross over state or country boundaries. These can be done via phone calls and computers. These are very commonly done through phishing scams or telemarketing. The caller will ask for personal information such as social security numbers, bank information or personal data. The information can then be used to use that person’s identity, gain access to their funds, or even be sold.
