DuPage County Credit Card Fraud Lawyers

Attorneys for Credit Card Fraud Defense in Northern Illinois

With so many transactions no longer requiring human interaction, the risk of credit card fraud is as high as it has ever been. Self-checkouts at the supermarket, pay-at-the-pump options at gas stations, and, of course, online shopping, has lead to increase in credit and debit card activity in recent decades but with a corresponding decrease in customer-clerk interactions. This can make it extremely tempting for some to commit credit card fraud by making purchases with cards belonging to someone else. The consequences of being caught, however, are extremely serious and can lead to problems for years into the future. If you have been accused of credit or debit card fraud, the Davi Law Group recognizes the severity of the situation and is equipped to help you.

The most basic, and often the simplest form of credit card fraud occurs when an individual uses the account number or credit card of another without the authority of the cardholder. However, there are many other forms of credit or debit card fraud that can result in criminal prosecution. These generally include:

• Possession of a credit, debit, or identification card belonging to another person;
• Sale of a credit or debit card without the authority of the issuing institution;
• Use of an account number or card known to be forged, expired, counterfeited, or revoked;
• Attempting to obtain money, property, goods, or services through false representation as the holder of the card; and
• The use of a credit card as security for a debt.

Depending on the value of property or services involved, and other situational circumstances, credit card fraud may be prosecuted as a Class 4 or Class 3 felony. More serious prosecution may follow if the fraud is found to be connected with identity theft or other white collar crimes.
