Defending Against Credit Card Crimes in Connecticut

Whether a credit card has been forged, illegally manufactured, or fraudulently used, the penalties for credit card fraud are severe. Depending on the scope of the fraud, individuals may face ancillary charges such as money laundering or conspiracy. Because credit card fraud is not a violent crime, it is categorized as a white-collar crime. A form of identity theft, credit card fraud and related crimes encompass a variety of activities, including the following:

  • Stealing an actual credit card
  • Using data from another person’s credit card
  • Selling data from a stolen credit card
  • Counterfeiting credit cards through skimming or other techniques
  • Unauthorized use of a credit card
  • Opening a credit card with somebody else’s personal information
  • Selling items obtained with stolen credit cards or credit card data
