Phoenix Mail & Wire Fraud Attorney

Like money laundering, wire fraud and mail fraud are catch-all criminal charges that usually accompany other charges such as drug trafficking or theft. The basic allegation is that you used the U.S. mail, a telephone, a facsimile or another electronic transmission device in the commission of a crime. The charges need to be taken very seriously.

This charge is often applied to drug dealers who send controlled substances such as cocaine and marijuana through the mail. Federal postal inspectors are sworn officers who can obtain a search warrant to open a suspicious package, inspect the contents, repackage the contents and deliver the package. Even people who are marginally involved in the criminal activity can be charged with wire or mail fraud if they pick up packages on behalf of another person.

Telemarketers and investors can be charged with wire or mail fraud if their marketing practices are alleged to be fraudulent. Mail and wire fraud can refer to any activity that illegally attempts to gain money using the mail, telephone or wire transmission.
