Credit Card and Check Fraud
You may be wondering what constitutes specific cases of fraud for credit cards and checks. A person can be charged with fraud if he or she:
- Signs the back of another’s credit card
- Uses another’s credit card
- Sells or purchases another’s credit card
- Retain possession of a lost credit card
- Writes a “hot” check
- Attempts to float checks
All of these crimes can be very serious, but specific penalties depend upon a variety of factors, including the amount of the loss resulting from the fraud.
