The majority of credit card fraud offenses are dealt with under Section 750.157n of the Penal Code. Under this statute, it is made clear that it is illegal to knowingly take or remove a financial transaction device of any kind from the lawful device holder, or to retain, possess, secrete, or use a financial transaction device without the consent of the device holder. Anyone who is found guilty of violating this law can face felony conviction.
There are many other credit card fraud laws dealing with more specific situations, and the specific penalties faced will depend greatly on what happened after the device was taken or used, as well as what combination of credit card fraud offenses were involved.
