  • Mail Fraud: This is any scheme to defraud someone, even if unsuccessful, where the U.S. Postal Service or any interstate carrier is used to commit the crime. 
  • Wire Fraud: Similar to mail fraud, wire fraud is a scheme to defraud someone, except use of any sort of electronic communications (Internet, television, radio, and telemarketing) subjects you to criminal prosecution.

Mail fraud turns what would have been simply a state criminal charge into a federal criminal charge. You face more severe penalties when charged with federal mail fraud. If under investigation or charged with mail fraud, it is important to contact an experienced criminal defense attorney.

The things that the government must prove to convict you of mail fraud include:

  • You intentionally and knowingly created a scheme to defraud someone
  • The mail or an interstate carrier was used for that purpose

If you are the subject of a mail fraud criminal investigation, call the Law Offices of Mark L. Horwitz at (407) 401-7224 or (866) 784-0023. Submit your questions to one of our lawyers by filling out the attached contact us form.
