Wire Fraud

The crime of wire fraud involves the use a scheme or device that utilizes transmissions over interstate wire communication mechanisms - such as telephone, money wiring systems or internet - to defraud another for purposes of obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses.

Wire fraud charges are often brought in conjunction with other white collar crime charges such as securities fraud or tax evasion.
