Wire Fraud Crime: A Scheme to Defraud and Deceive
Wire fraud is the process of using interstate communications to carry out a scheme to defraud. If you use an instrument of interstate commerce such as mail, e-mail, fax or a telephone to deprive someone of his or her money or property, you can be charged with a wire fraud crime in federal court.
One of Many Charges
Wire fraud is typically one of many charges facing white collar defendants. These cases may involve computer fraud, insurance fraud, pharmacy fraud, online auction fraud, financial fraud, mortgage fraud, bribery and money laundering.
Prosecutors often charge defendants with as many specific counts as possible to leave them room for negotiation. As long as they can prove that there is some evidence that you may have committed the crime, they will charge you with it.
The wire fraud attorneys of the Law Office of John R. Fielding, Jr., & Associates in San Diego, California, have successfully represented clients in wire fraud cases. Our experience allows us to evaluate the charges. We will litigate to achieve the best possible result, including reduction or dismissal of charges.
Was There Intent to Deceive?
In any case involving fraud, there must be intent to deceive. It is not a crime to make a simple mistake. We have found that many cases of wire fraud are really based on a misunderstanding of the facts or an innocent mistake.
