Federal mail fraud laws 18 U.S.C. 1341 § 1341

The Spodek Law Firm and Attorney Todd Spodek know mail fraud is a federal crime with significant implications. 18 U.S.C. 1341 governs postal fraud. This law defines postal fraud as deception by mail. Mail fraud requires a fraudulent strategy, desire to deceive, substantial deception, and postal system usage.

Postal Fraud?

From scams to prizes, postal fraud is a serious felony. Marketing or religion lure consumers into these schemes. Late-night infomercials preachers may sell “Miracle Spring Water” for a donation. If the preacher uses the letter to deceive, this is postal fraud.

Mail Fraud Sanctions

The Spodek Law Firm and Attorney Todd Spodek warn that mail fraud can have serious repercussions. Mail fraud can result in 20 years in federal prison and a court fine. Postal fraud involving banks or federal disaster assistance money carries higher sanctions. The sentence may be 30 years in federal prison and $1,000. The court may order restitution for the victims.

Postal fraud defenses

You have mail fraud defenses, according to the Spodek Law Firm and Attorney Todd Spodek. The most common defenses include no intent to mislead, no mail use, and unreasonable search and seizure.

Similar Crimes

Bank, wire, and mail fraud are related. Wire fraud involves using Western Union or the internet to commit fraud. Bank fraud involves defrauding banks. Like mail fraud, both acts carry harsh penalties.
