Miami Organized Fraud Attorney

Organized Fraud Charges in South Florida

Florida law is particularly harsh on those who have been accused of fraud-related offenses. Organized fraud is a specific criminal offense in Florida that involves creating a scheme to defraud others of money or property by concealing the identity of the sender and sending a personalized sales message to the victim or victims.

Phishing and spoofing may be examples of this, when the sender essentially impersonates a valid company in order to obtain personal and financial information from the victim or victims. In this way, organized fraud may be linked to identity theft as well.
