Internet Investment Fraud in California

Because so many financial and business transactions are conducted over the internet, and because more and more consumers throughout California use the internet to search for and purchase products, internet investment fraud is a growing criminal offense. Both state and federal law enforcement agencies have responded by applying resources to the detection and prevention of all types of internet crimes. The SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission) in particular plays a major role in investigating internet investment fraud.

The penalties for internet investment fraud may vary depending upon the number of people affected, as well as the specific offense which was committed. However, an individual charged with internet investment fraud may also face charges involving wire fraud, a serious federal offense which may be punishable by up to 20 years in prison, or 30 years if it is committed against a financial institution.
