MAIL FRAUD

North Carolina Mail Fraud Lawyers

Mail fraud is a federal criminal offense that involves using the United States Postal Service or a private carrier, such as FedEx or UPS, to carry out a fraudulent scheme. This can include using the mail system to send fraudulent documents, money or other items, or to make false representations or promises.

A conviction for this offense is very serious, and can result in criminal and civil penalties. In particular, a convicted person can face up to 20 years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000 or more, depending on the specifics of the case. In addition to imprisonment and fines, a conviction can result in paying mandatory restitution and the forfeiture of assets.
