AI Overview

Wire fraud is a federal crime involving fraud or an attempt to defraud
using electronic communication like phones or computers. It's a U.S.
federal crime, and the Department of Justice claims jurisdiction if
the fraud crosses state lines using interstate wire communication or
if the U.S. Postal Service is used. The penalty for wire fraud can be
up to 20 years in prison, a fine, or both
