Mail and Wire Fraud

Understanding Mail and Wire Fraud

Mail and wire fraud are two of the most commonly charged federal crimes, involving the use of mail, email, telephone, text messages, or any form of electronic communication to carry out fraudulent schemes. Prosecutors aggressively pursue mail and wire fraud cases because they provide broad authority to target individuals and businesses suspected of deceptive or fraudulent conduct.

Mail fraud involves the use of the United States Postal Service (USPS) or any private or commercial carrier (such as FedEx or UPS) to further a fraudulent scheme.

Wire fraud is similar to mail fraud but involves the use of electronic communications instead of mail. This can include:

Email and Text Messages
Phone Calls
Internet Transactions
Bank Transfers and Cryptocurrency Transactions

Because wire fraud involves electronic communications, it can be charged in a wide range of cases and is often charged alongside other offenses, such as bank fraud, securities fraud, healthcare fraud, money laundering, conspiracy, or racketeering (RICO). Federal prosecutors view mail and wire fraud as versatile tools that allow them to pursue a wide range of fraudulent conduct, even if the underlying scheme does not directly involve the federal government.
