Modifying the crime of fraud

HB 2211 modifies West Virginia's fraud laws related to counterfeit or stolen access devices (like credit cards). It requires courts to calculate the total value of all transactions from multiple uses of such devices against a single victim - not per transaction - to determine sentencing. This affects individuals convicted of fraud involving these devices, potentially increasing penalties for repeated offenses against one victim. Penalties range from a $1,000 fine or six months in jail for possession to up to $10,000 or ten years in prison for intentional fraud.
