What is credit card fraud?

Credit card fraud is a crime which involves using deceit or some form of misrepresentation to obtain others' credit card information, create counterfeit credit cards, or in any way fraudulently use another's credit card information. One may also commit credit card fraud by using a card in his or her own name, when he or she has no intention of paying it off. Computer hacking, identity theft, wire fraud, physical theft, and phishing are all ways that credit card fraud or theft may be committed.

Credit card fraud is a serious criminal offense, and a conviction may cause a defendant to face years of imprisonment, heavy fines and victim restitution. If this offense involves creating counterfeit credit card access devises and is charged as a federal crime, credit card fraud may be punishable by up to 10, 15 or 20 years in prison, depending upon the nature of the offense and the amount of money involved.
