Schemes to commit identity theft or fraud may also involve violations of several statutes such as identification fraud (18 U.S.C. §1028), aggravated identity theft (18 U.S.C. §1028A), 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.
