Mail fraud is a criminal offense in the US that includes mailing or electronically transferring something related to fraud. Surprisingly, the US Congress imposed the death penalty for those who do mail fraud in 1792. Many types of mail fraud exist, such as financial fraud, employment fraud, fraud against older Americans, and telemarketing fraud.
Although there have been many attempts by authorities to prevent mail fraud, unfortunately, scammers still use the mail to do their illicit work, sometimes working from thousands of miles away.
