Being convicted of any crime unjustly is not a pleasant process. However, it is especially painful to be accused of fraud because this conviction destroys your reputation and ability to lead a normal life. Mail fraud is one of the most prevalent forms of these crimes occurring all over the United States. It primarily refers to using the government's mail system in a manner that defrauds people of either property or money, or was designed for this purpose even if it never came to fruition.

How Federal Mail Fraud Charges Work
According to 18 U.S.C. § 1341, mail fraud is a crime in which the alleged perpetrator commits fraud by specifically using the post office, related boxes for depositing mail, or any service from the Postal Service.
To prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the defendant has committed mail fraud, the prosecutor must show that:
- The alleged perpetrator constructed a scheme or a plan to illegally gain through fraud
- The alleged perpetrator utilized the U.S. Postal Service to send an item (whether a package, letter, postcard, etc.) through the mail
- The alleged perpetrator willfully desired to commit fraud
Even if the plan never was successful or the defendant changed their mind and did not complete the plan, it does not matter. As long as any attempt was made to use the U.S. Post Office's mail services, the defendant could be charged with fraud. Moreover, if one of the targets of the crime was a financial institution, like a bank, even higher fines can be imposed, such as $1,000,000 and/or a 30-year prison sentence.
