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.

I am in law enforcement in Maine. The punishment depends on a number of things, including the discretion of the court, your criminal history and the nature of the crime. I encourage you to call the (non-emergency line of) your local police department and you can ask anonymously what sentence that statute holds. I will tell you that officers HATE to take these calls, because there is such a variance from crime to crime and person to person, so you won't get a specific answer, only a possibility.

I believe it's a felony punishable by prison time. Watch "Dateline NBC" next Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. I come from a community where 18 men were recently taken into custody for that very thing. You can see firsthand what the penalty is when they make their court appearances which will be aired next week.

If you don't have friends or family members in this prison I would highly recommend that you do not locate this prison and do not contact anyone from the inside...my sister did this once and had a correspondence with an inmate and was conned out of hundreds of dollars for this person's commissary....please don't get mixed up into that....you'll regret it...that's why they call them CONS !!!!

I am in telecom. \nMost prisons have a certain company that you have to set up an account with. Usually MCI. \nCall the information desk at the prison, or call your current phone provider (the company sending you a monthly bill) as they may already know which Long Distance company you will need to set an account with.\nOnce you set up the account with the LD company you will need to call your current phone provider and have them change the PIC/LPIC to the LD companies codes. (MCI is usually 0222/0222)\nWhen your current phone provider gets the order to change to the new PICs, the order will have to be worked, then the computer systems updated and you will get a bill for your home phone service from your current phone provider. \nYou will also get all your LD and collect calls billed from the new LD company associated with the prison.

I'm sorry you are going through this.....My oldest did the same thing....he stole everything he could pawn or sale for money to keep his habit supported. I had to put a lock on my bedroom door to keep him out. And even that didnt work for long....He stole from his grandparents...friends....neighbors. I had people calling me all the time about the things he was doing. It started when he was about 14 years old....and he was in and out of trouble for so long. We had him to doctors and therapists.....he got put in juvenile centers.....county jail.....and finally did 3 different prison sentences..all of this was in the time frame of 11 years......after the second time in prison...I told him if he got in trouble again...then I would not come and see him...its too hard to watch your child like that....he got so used to that institutional life....that he couldnt funtion in the real world. Now he is out again....and seems to be doing good.......He is working and living about 4 hours away....we talk on the phone almost daily.....He lives with my brother..his uncle......He seems to really want to make it this time...and God willing ...he will....Be strong......tough love is just that....but I think its tougher on the parent than the child.....My prayers are with you and your child...

Government records of who they listen in on are labeled secret information but yes they are supposed to be only calls in which at least one party is on foreign soil as far as not having to get the court approval.actually I think it could be two way American calls if one is already being investigated for possible terrorism. But it is really kinda moot who the hell would know? They don't have an overseer and its national security ya know. and if your not guilty you don't have anything to hide...right? Stupidest argument in the world I apologize for repeating that nonsense.... just_curious if they pass a law where they can put your grandmother in a consentration camp it would be legal!

they just do , i think they should be sent to prison ,for invasion of privacy, telamarketers get your un-published, unlisted number also, which is illegal ,,because if you enter your number a the federal no call list you made it available
