The California law for identity theft is found in section 530.5 of the California Penal Code. In essence the law makes it a crime to obtain someone else's identifying information and without permission using the identifying information for some unlawful purpose. This includes:

• Credit card fraud or credit card identity theft can involve opening a credit card account in someone else's name or making unauthorized charges on someone else's account in person or through "Cyber crime" or Internet identify theft.
• Identity theft can be charged when telephone, cell phone, or other utilities are established under someone else's name. Identity theft also includes taking out a fraudulent loan or obtaining government documents or benefits using another person's identity.
• Bank identity theft or bank fraud includes opening a bank account in someone else's name, writing fraudulent checks, or making unauthorized withdrawals or ATM theft.

If you have been accused of any of felony grand theft or fraud, you need a fraud lawyer who will protect your rights and seek to have the charges dismissed or reduced. These are serious charges that carry significant penalties including heavy fines and prison time. Contact an identity theft lawyer now. Identity theft penalties can be severe.
