Telemarketing schemes often result in criminal charges of telemarketing fraud. This kind of fraud generally involves scamming the victims out of money or property by tricking them into believing that they will receive something in return or that the value of what they receive is greater than the actual value of the item or service received. Telemarketing fraud is often operated out of rented office space and the operation may not stay in that space for long.
Many common telemarketing fraud schemes include:
- Sweepstakes or prizes
- Magazine sales
- Credit card sales
- Work from home scams
- Advance fee loans
- Telephone slamming
- Credit card loss protection
- A falser buyer’s club
- Travel and vacation sales
Some of the victims of telemarketing fraud include employees of the telemarketing company. Although these employees may not be aware of the fraud, they may also be charged with telemarketing fraud depending on the level of involvement. If you have been charged with telemarketing fraud, it is important to seek legal representation immediately. The telemarketing fraud and white collar crime attorney Zachary C. Holbrook, P.C. is experienced in creating an aggressive defense for his telemarketing fraud clients. In addition to creating a strong defense, he also facilitates plea bargains, reduced or dropped charges, reduced sentencing, and the right to a fair trial in Utah.
