Fighting Accusations of Mail & Wire Fraud

The U.S. postal service is one of the hallmarks of American tradition, innovation and economy. Unfortunately, it has become the subject of many federal criminal cases that have to do with accusations of fraud via mail or delivery. In the same way, electronic wiring and communication has become a staple resource in many of the same schemes and therefore, subject to the same type of scrutiny. Wire fraud and mail fraud are similar yet distinct charges with the same spirit: the use of provided transportation services in order to carry out a fraudulent scheme for one's own personal gain.

When someone uses the postal service/private carrier or a wiring service to commit fraud, they are inadvertently making the providers of those services innocent and unaware participants in their illegal schemes. While these providers are not usually held responsible for fraud, due to their lack of knowledge, it can create an issue with their own liabilities. Therefore, using someone else's services to execute one's fraudulent schemes is an elevated charge, according to federal authorities.

Fraud Through Different Types of Electronic Communication

Wire fraud does not only include the use of money wiring services but also refers to the use of any electronic communication in order to carry out a fraudulent scheme. This includes:

  • Telephone
  • Fax
  • Email
  • Any other form of electronic communication

Mail or wire fraud charges are usually levied in combination with original indictments such as tax fraud, bank fraud, medical fraud, securities fraud, or bankruptcy fraud. Even something as simple as mentioning a fraudulent scheme or plan in a posted letter or telephone conversation can make you susceptible to prosecution.

"I had a business with clients around the country. One day at my office the feds came busting in arresting me for federal wire fraud. To say I was beyond scared would be an understatement.

Michael Guisti does what few attorneys can do, beat the federal government, and that is why if you’re in trouble with the government you need to call Michael Guisti right away!"
