How serious is credit card fraud?
In addition to the identity theft itself, criminals can be punished under federal law for
using devices that facilitate fraudulent activity, such as skimmers or other counterfeit
access devices. Minor offenses can result in fines, jail time, or both, but felony-level
credit card theft and fraud can lead to prison.
