Credit Card Fraud

Fraud charges can occur if someone uses deception to obtain money or other benefits from another person. It is not necessary that the person actually be successful in their attempt to defraud property in order for charges to be filed.

Some examples include:

Using a stolen credit card as one’s own
Knowingly reporting purchases you made as unauthorized purchases
Using stolen credit card information to apply for another credit card
In the case of merchants or their agents, charging expenses to a credit card without the cardholder’s consent

CREDIT CARD FRAUD AND OTHER CRIMES

Certain instances of credit card fraud can incorporate other crimes. For example: using someone’s personal information to fraudulently represent them and gain something of value constitutes identity theft. Falsely signing a credit card slip under an identity not your own constitutes forgery. These crimes, along with fraud, are felonies which can result in jail or prison time even for a first offender.
