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.

    Mr. Robert Jenkins: The Best in the business! Hands Down!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!

  • “Simply masterful.”

    In November 2024, I watched Mr. Jenkins cross-examine the Commonwealth of Virginia's most important witness against his client. (This was a high-profile case, and the media reports made it appear that his client had no chance to win.) The witness was a law enforcement officer.

    Because I cross-examine people for a living and I study my craft, I know stellar work.

    Mr. Jenkins's cross-examination was spectacular. He torpedoed the Commonwealth's case. He turned that witness into a witness for his client. Simply masterful.

  • “Mr. Jenkins saved my husbands life.”
    Mr. Jenkins saved my husbands life. He was facing 15-20 years in the federal system. He received 15 month. No strings attached, no deals. His knowledge of the law and court process was nothing less then amazing. As a wife on the outside trying to handle family life and secure the best lawyer for my husband he really made me feel at ease. Great communication, loyal and overall awesome lawyer. Hope nobody that I know ever has to be put in the position as I was in. But if so I have him on speed dial for them. Thanks again Mr. Jenkins.
