what is the penalty for credit card fraud?

I believe your sentence/perdition/penalty would greatly depend on a few things like the state where the crime was committed, and the dollar amount of said offense.  \n\nIt might just end up being a state charge, but it has the propensity to be a federal charge too depending on the specific details and nature of the crime.

I did a search and nothing solid turned up aside from this site:  http://www.adamswells.com/~firstpres/fpc4.htm\n\nI suggest you contact your credit card company and inquire for more details.  If they aren't able to furnish any more details  about the business that charged you I suggest you dispute the charge (you have every right to).

Basically, anything that you own, to the extent of taxes, plus a 100% penalty, plus interest compounded daily.  In some cases where fraud is shown, then also prison time.

This isn't your fault.  Your mother should have protected her credit card information better.  You're doing her a favor.  Teaching her a valuable life lesson.  She should know to trust no one.  \n\nIf that doesn't keep you from doing a couple of years in jail, quickly check yourself into a Twelve Step program for Shoppers Anonymous and hope you get a liberal judge who will place you on unsupervised probation when you get out of the program.\n\nWait - I'm getting a message from the beyond.  It's a little fuzzy, let me look into my crystal ball.  Oh, could this be an attempt at spam?  Are you getting paid everytime someone clicks on those three links you provided?  Yes, the vision is getting clearer.  Spam it is.

It is spelled fraud. Contact your credit card holder immediately and have all activity stopped and cancel the card.\nThey will issue you a new one in a day or so.

Call your credit card company.  They can look up the charge, they can tell you the name of the merchant, and they should be able to provide a phone number so you can call the merchant and find out who it is.\n\nIf you determine that the charge is not legit, then tell your credit card company that you want to dispute the charge and that it might be a fraudulent charge.  (You should investigate first...make sure it isn't from a company that you or your spouse purchase from)\n\nI've had charges show up like that and the credit card company has always helped me take care of it.

if I'm not mistaken, petty theft/misdemeanor retail theft (a.k.a. shoplifting) is a class "C" misdemeanor, in which case the "suspect" be fined as much as $1500; in this case it would provably be less than that because of the low value of the item. In more serious offences a 30 day jail sentence may also be given in addition to the fine. How tough the sentence is rests largely on how favorable the judge that tries the case is. If it's their first offence, the judge is most likely to grant probation.

Don't use credit cards - you'll be sorry.

They took $159.95 from my account a couple of weeks ago. It is a credit card fraud company. They took your info through fake credit card ads online. Then they would take your money as a 'subscription' fee. I got their phone number from my bank and called them, but no one was ever there. Their number is 813-930-7323.\n\nSolution- Call your bank. Tell them that you want to dispute the transaction. My bank investigated the dispute and gave me my money back in one week. I want to sue them for my time and energy trying to get my money back.

It is illegal for a company or business to "copy" your credit card.  If a company asks to do so, I wouldn't do business at that company....they are probably going to try and scam you!

When you call the bank, they will reverse the charge and issue you a new card. You'll never know who used the card. These things happen so often that they won't really do anything for $500.
