South Carolina Mail Fraud Attorneys
Fighting An Allegation of Mail Fraud
The United States Code criminalizes, “any scheme or artifice to defraud, or for obtaining money or property by means of false or fraudulent pretenses” involving the U.S. Mail system.
The problem with an allegation of mail fraud is that each act committed in a post office of taking out or putting in a letter that furthers the scheme, is a distinct and separate violation. Accordingly, with a mass mailing, hundreds of violations may have been committed.

What is Required to Set Forth a Mail Fraud Case
To secure a conviction of mail fraud, the government must establish:
- that you utilized the US postal system
- “for the purpose of executing” the fraudulent scheme.
To prove their case, the government only needs to prove that the mailing was incidental to an essential part of the scheme.
