Man Arrested for Credit Card Fraud in Las Vegas
This month police arrested a fifty-three year old man for allegedly violating Nevada credit card fraud law. He allegedly installed credit card skimming devices in at least three stores in Las Vegas in order to gather others' credit card information. Police believe that he will face more charges as their investigation continues.
Nevada credit card fraud law is a kind of white collar offense. Common examples include buying goods with a lost or stolen credit card, counterfeiting credit cards, trafficking credit cards, and possessing materials to manufacture fake credit cards. Having a credit card fraud conviction on your record looks very bad and may cause future employers not to hire you.
Nevada credit card fraud law is usually litigated in federal court. Convictions may result in prison sentences as high as ten to twenty years if not more. The sentence usually includes restitution and fines as well.
