I've posted about this before, but I need to find out accurate info from real cops/police officers.
A friend (over 18) has a joint credit card with her mom. She never used the card, except this once.
But before she could mail in the payment, her parents saw the transaction history online & threatened to send her to jail for using “their” card. So she got scared & lied. She said she never used it, that she didn’t even have the card anymore.
She's sent in the full payment, but she can’t tell that to her parents (since she denied using the card)
The facts are this:
1.) The credit card was/is a joint account, with 2 cards. 1 card is in the name of my friend, the other card is in the name of her mom
2.) She’s made FULL payment for the item purchased
Now, if THE PARENTS (NOT the girl) report the card as stolen OR misused (fraudulent charges) can my friend be arrested and/or prosecuted for credit card fraud or theft??
