Fraudulent Use of Mail

Fraudulent Use of Mail involves deliberately using the postal service to send or receive items—such as letters, packages, or financial documents—with the intent to deceive or commit scams. This can include mailing fake checks, false advertisements, or fraudulent offers to trick recipients into giving away money or personal information. It's a crime because it uses the mail system as a tool to carry out dishonest schemes, undermining trust and security in postal services and the wider community. Penalties can include fines or imprisonment, depending on the severity of the offense.
