Los Angeles Internet Fraud Lawyer

Last Modified: February 26, 2024

Some common themes that we often hear about from clients who are charged with Internet fraud are:

  • Someone receives a letter or e-mail message asking for help. “Can you cash this check? You can keep 10 percent of the money to compensate you for your trouble.”
  • Someone asks an individual to collect some money, a letter or a package and resend it somewhere else as a favor, with a small commission to be paid in exchange. “Do you have time to go to the bus station and ship this to another address for me?”

How Did You Come to Be Accused of Internet Fraud in the Los Angeles Area?

In scenarios such as these, the person finds that he or she has been trapped into committing some type of Internet fraud — often unintentionally, as part of an elaborate scheme. He or she ends up being duped and used as a courier in a chain of fraudulent transactions designed to elude detection. Once the person realizes what has happened, a letter arrives from the police serving notice of an investigation.

In the words of the California Penal Code Section 484e, “(a) Every person who, with intent to defraud, sells, transfers, or conveys, an access card, without the cardholder’s or issuer’s consent, is guilty of grand theft.”
