Telemarketing Fraud Prosecution:
Telemarketing fraud is prosecuted by the following government agencies: DOJ; FTC; United States Attorney's Offices; Consumer Futures Trading Commission; National Association of Attorneys General and many others. They've worked together on sting operations such as Operation Disconnect and Operation Senior Sentinel. These operations brought federal criminal charges against some of the best telemarketing operations and more than 1,300 fraudulent telemarketers. Many of these cases have resulted in sentences that included not only significant imprisonment, but also substantial orders or restitution and forfeiture to maximize the return of victims' losses.

Laws and Acts Governing Telemarketing Fraud:
The Blanch Law Firm has experience with 18 U.S.C. §§ 2325-2327, 18 U.S.C. § 1343 (Wire Fraud), 18 U.S.C. § 1341 (Mail Fraud), and 18 U.S.C. § 371 (conspiracy to engage in mail and wire fraud). Each of these statutes carries a maximum term of imprisonment of five years. As the DOJ has increasingly included charges under the federal money-laundering statutes (18 U.S.C. §§ 1956 and 1957), it's important to note the firm has experience defending against such charges as well. Each of these latter statutes carries a maximum term of imprisonment of twenty years and ten years, respectively, and provides the DOJ with a basis to obtain criminal forfeiture of the telemarketers' property. In some cases, where fraudulent telemarketers have misled banks when they applied for merchant accounts to process victims' credit-card charges, the Department has also charged the telemarketers with financial institution fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1344). That statute carries a maximum term of imprisonment of 30 years.
