Mail fraud From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search This article needs additional citations for verification Please help improve this article by adding reliable references . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed (March 2010) Mail fraud is an offense under United States federal law , which includes any scheme that attempts to unlawfully obtain money or valuables in which the postal system is used at any point in the commission of a criminal offense. Mail fraud is covered by Title 18 of the United States Code , Chapter 63. As in the case of wire fraud , this statute is often used as a basis for a separate federal prosecution of what would otherwise have been only a violation of a state law. "Mail fraud" is a term of art referring to a specific statutory crime in the United States of America. In countries with nonfederal legal systems the concept of mail fraud is irrelevant: the activities are likely to be crimes there, but the fact that they are carried out by mail makes no difference as to which authority may prosecute or as to the penalties which may be imposed. In the 1960s and '70s, inspectors under regional chief postal inspectors such as Martin McGee, known as "Mr. Mail Fraud," exposed and prosecuted numerous swindles involving land sales, phony advertising practices, insurance ripoffs and fraudulent charitable organizations using mail fraud charges. edit References http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P2-4528100.html

Mail Fraud From lawbrain.com A crime in which the perpetrator develops a scheme using the mails to defraud another of money or property. This crime specifically requires the intent to defraud, and is a federal offense governed by section 1341 of title 18 of the U.S. Code. The mail fraud statute was first enacted in 1872 to prohibit illicit mailings with the Postal Service (formerly the Post Office) for the purpose of executing a fraudulent scheme. Initially, courts strictly followed the mail fraud statute's language and interpreted it narrowly. The early decisions required a connection between the fraudulent scheme and the misuse of the mails for a violation of the mail fraud statute. Since its enactment, application of the statute has evolved to include dishonest and fraudulent activities with only a tangential relationship to the mails. Punishment for a conviction under the mail fraud statute is a fine or imprisonment for not more than five years, or both. If, however, the violation affects a financial institution, the punishment is more severe: the statute provides that "the person shall be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than 30 years, or both."

For example, it would be fraudulent to advertise a "miracle weight-loss pill guaranteed to make an individual lose 10 pounds overnight." It is also considered mail fraud if a consumer orders merchandise through the mail without any intention to pay. Marketers who receive several orders from the same address but with different names, or orders with obviously bogus names and addresses, such as "Mickey Mouse, Planet Pluto," may report these individuals to the appropriate authority for investigation. Some mailers maintain a list of frequently used bogus names and reject all orders from them. Regulations governing mail fraud have been enacted by the federal trade commission , state and local governments, the U.S. Postal Service, local Better Business Bureaus, and trade organizations such as the direct-marketing association.
