Wire Fraud
A situation where a person concocts a scheme to defraud or obtain money based on false representation or promises. This criminal act is done using electronic communications or an interstate communications facility. Investopedia Says:
Like any type of fraud, wire fraud is a federal offense. A person can be found guilty for their misuse of a communication facility, regardless of whether their scheme actually defrauded anyone. Related Terms:
