Possible Defenses for Credit Card Fraud Offenses in Virginia

Credit card fraud may include using a lost or stolen credit card, a revoked credit card or a fake credit card with the intent to defraud. Depending upon how the card was used and the amounts and charges spent, this crime may be punishable as a felony offense with jail time and heavy fines.
