What is Wire Fraud?

Wire fraud is a federal crime involving using wire communication facilities, such as telephone, fax, email, or the internet, to commit fraud. It occurs when someone intentionally uses these communication methods to carry out a scheme to defraud others out of money or property.

To be convicted of wire fraud, the government must prove that the defendant:

  • created or participated in a scheme to defraud;
  • had the intent to defraud; and
  • used wire communications in furtherance of the scheme.

The scheme to defraud can take many forms, such as a Ponzi scheme, telemarketing fraud, or phishing scams. The use of wire communications can include sending emails or faxes, making phone calls, or using the internet to communicate with victims.

It's important to note that wire fraud is a federal crime, and therefore, it is prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office. If you are facing charges of wire fraud, it is essential to consult with an experienced Alexandria wire fraud attorney who can help you understand your rights and options and build a strong defense on your behalf.

Common Types of Wire Fraud 

Wire fraud is a federal crime that encompasses a wide range of fraudulent activities. Some of the most common types of wire fraud cases include:

  • Investment Fraud: Investment fraud occurs when an individual or organization uses false or misleading information to convince investors to put their money into a scheme that does not exist. Common examples of investment fraud include Ponzi schemes and pyramid schemes.
  • Telemarketing Fraud: Telemarketing fraud involves using the telephone to contact individuals and deceive them into sending money or providing personal information. This type of fraud can take many forms, including lottery, charity, and advance-fee scams.
  • Internet Fraud: Internet fraud involves using the Internet to carry out fraudulent activities. Examples of internet fraud include phishing scams, identity theft, and online auction fraud.
  • Bank Fraud: Bank fraud occurs when an individual or organization uses false or misleading information to obtain money or credit from a financial institution. This can include activities such as check fraud, loan fraud, and credit card fraud.
  • Securities Fraud: Securities fraud involves using false or misleading information to manipulate the stock market or deceive investors. Common examples of securities fraud include insider trading, market manipulation, and Ponzi schemes.

Regardless of the type of wire fraud case you face, it's important to remember that the government must prove that you intended to defraud and used wire communications to further the scheme.

  • “Among the best attorneys in the DC area.”

    Robert was very respectful, swift, and understanding of my families needs. Robert executed with great professionalism and was able to get my Father’s charges dropped completely. I was especially impressed with his ability to structure the case such that only a positive outcome was possible. There was no room for prosecution to attempt to stick the charge.

    Robert was able to swiftly overcome the constraints of COVID and even drove down to Virginia to push the case forward.

    Moving forward our family will exclusively work with Robert for all legal matters and I consider him to be among the best attorneys in the DC area.

    Outstanding quality.
