According to federal law, a person must engage in some type of scheme to defraud another in order for the act to be considered mail fraud. Essentially, there must be an intent to defraud. If convicted of mail fraud, you could be facing prison, fines, probation, and / or restitution.

- You have deliberately taken part in a scheme to defraud another person
