Identity Theft   $ Merchant Fraud

 

Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act

18 U.S.C. § 1028(a)(7). This offense, in most circumstances, carries a maximum term of 15 years' imprisonment, a fine, and criminal forfeiture of any personal property used or intended to be used to commit the offense.

Schemes to commit identity theft or fraud may also involve violations of other statutes such as identification fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1028), credit card fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1029), computer fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1030), mail fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1341), wire fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1343), or financial institution fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1344). Each of these federal offenses are felonies that carry substantial penalties in some cases, as high as 30 years' imprisonment, fines, and criminal forfeiture.

Federal prosecutors work with federal investigative agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Secret Service, and the United States Postal Inspection Service to prosecute identity theft and fraud cases.

All of the abovecaptioned agencies you can contact on your own. You don't need to pay us. However, your employer and your lifestyle may not support that effort, however, so while you're frustrated now, wait until you attempt to reach a government agency or credit bureau from your place of employment. This assumes you can determine which agency and where they are as the Government becomes reorganized pursuant to the issues following 9/11/01.
