Our fraud lawyers can help with cases involving:
- Identity Theft: This occurs when someone steals another person's personal information, such as their name, Social Security number, or financial account details, with the intention of assuming their identity for fraudulent purposes. The thief may use the stolen identity to make unauthorized purchases, open fraudulent accounts, or commit other crimes.
- Credit Card Fraud: This involves the unauthorized use of someone else's credit or debit card information to make fraudulent purchases or withdrawals. This can occur through various means, including stolen physical cards, card skimming devices, or online hacking techniques.
- Insurance Fraud: This type of fraud involves making false claims or providing misleading information to insurance companies in order to obtain financial benefits. Examples include staged accidents, arson, or exaggerating the value of claimed items.
- Investment Fraud: Investment scams aim to deceive individuals or organizations into making fraudulent investments or financial transactions. Perpetrators often promise high returns with low risk, but the investments are typically non-existent or based on false information. Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes are common examples.
- Internet Fraud: With the increasing use of the internet for commerce, various types of fraud have emerged online. These include phishing scams, where individuals are tricked into revealing personal information, as well as online auction fraud, online dating scams, and fake online stores.
- Bank Fraud: Bank fraud involves obtaining money or assets from a financial institution through deceitful means. This can include check fraud, forged documents, fraudulent loan applications, or insider fraud committed by bank employees.
- Tax Fraud: Tax fraud refers to the intentional evasion of paying taxes owed to the government. This can involve underreporting income, inflating deductions, hiding assets, or creating false documents.
- Health Care Fraud: This type of fraud targets health care systems and insurance providers. It can involve billing for services not provided, overbilling, kickbacks, or filing false claims for medical treatments or procedures.
- Mortgage Fraud: Mortgage fraud occurs when individuals provide false information or use deceptive practices during the mortgage application process. This can include inflating property values, misrepresenting income, or falsifying documents to obtain a mortgage loan.
- Charitable Fraud: This involves the misuse of charitable organizations or deceptive solicitation practices to fraudulently obtain donations. Perpetrators may misrepresent the purpose of the charity, use emotional manipulation, or fail to allocate funds as promised.
- Mail Fraud: Mail fraud refers to the use of the postal system or any interstate mail carrier to execute a fraudulent scheme. It involves devising a plan to defraud others, using the mail to transmit fraudulent materials, such as letters, documents, or packages, and intending to deceive the recipients for personal or financial gain. Mail fraud is a federal offense in many countries, including the United States, and it can carry severe penalties.
- Wire Fraud: Wire fraud is similar to mail fraud but involves the use of electronic communications, such as phone calls, emails, faxes, or other electronic means, to carry out a fraudulent scheme. It typically involves transmitting false information or engaging in deceptive practices to defraud individuals or organizations electronically. Wire fraud is also a federal offense in many jurisdictions and is commonly prosecuted alongside other criminal charges related to financial fraud.
- Securities Fraud: Securities fraud, also known as investment fraud or stock fraud, involves deceptive practices in the stock market or other financial securities markets. It can include a range of activities, such as providing false or misleading information about a company's financial performance, insider trading (trading stocks based on non-public information), manipulating stock prices, or engaging in Ponzi schemes related to securities investments.
