Dallas Credit Card Fraud Lawyer

Accusations of unauthorized use of someone else's credit card can form the basis of credit card fraud charges. In some cases, credit card fraud allegations result from disputes between people. Friends, spouses or employees may claim that another person gave them permission to use a credit card.

In other instances, credit card fraud charges come about when a credit card is lost or stolen, and a stranger takes it to a store or tries to use it to purchase something online.
