Identity Theft Charge
North Carolina Identity Theft Charge Defense Lawyers
Identity theft (ID theft) with the intent to commit fraud is a crime at both the state and federal levels. When criminal activity crosses state lines, involves conspiracy or results in significant losses, federal charges are likely.
You may realize that you are at risk of being charged even before you have heard from investigators or law enforcement agents. Or you may have been summoned for a hearing or charged in a state
or federal court. No matter how far along your ID theft case is, you need an attorney to guide you to the other side. If you are convicted of an ID theft crime, you may face months, years or even decades of prison. Protect your future by getting legal counsel as soon as possible.
Theft Offenses
Examples Of ID Theft Offenses
Your investigation or criminal charges may have to do with allegations of one or more of the following:
- Credit card fraud
- Computer hacking
- Mail, bank or Social Security fraud
To convict you, prosecutors should demonstrate that you intended to commit fraud using someone else’s personal information. One specific, very broad definition in federal law summarizes the crime of ID theft as a situation when someone “knowingly transfers, possesses, or uses, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid or abet, or in connection with, any unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of Federal law, or that constitutes a felony under any applicable State or local law.” (From 18 U.S. Code §1028).
