HARRY HUGHES, Governor
(5)  A person who, with intent to defraud a purported
issuer, a person or organization providing money, goods, services
or anything else of value, or any other person, falsely makes or
falsely embosses a purported credit card, or utters such a credit
card or possesses such a credit card with knowledge that such
credit card has been falsely made or falsely embossed is guilty
of credit card forgery and is subject to the penalties set forth
in (h)(2) of this section. A person "falsely makes" a credit card
when he makes or draws, in whole or in part, a device or
instrument which purports to be the credit card of a named issuer
but which is not such a credit card because the issuer did not
authorize the making or drawing, or alters a credit card which
was validly issued. A person "falsely embosses" a credit card
when, without the authorization of the named issuer, he completes
a credit card by adding any of the matter, other than the
signature of the cardholder, which an issuer requires to appear
on the credit card before it can be used by a cardholder. (6)  A person other than the cardholder or a person
authorized by him who, with intent to defraud the issuer, or a
person or organization providing money, goods, services or
anything else of value, or any other person, signs a credit card
is guilty of credit card forgery and is subject to the penalties
set forth in (h)(2) of this section. (d)   A person, who, with intent to defraud the issuer, a
person or organization providing money, goods, services or
anything else of value, or any other person, (i) uses for the
purpose of obtaining money, goods, services or anything else of
value a credit card obtained or retained in violation of (c) of
this section or a credit card which he knows is forged; or (ii)
obtains money, goods, services or anything else of value by
representing without the consent of the cardholder that he is the
holder of a specified card or by representing that he is the
holder of a card and such card has not in fact been issued,
violates this subsection and is subject to the penalties set
forth in (h)(1) of this section, if the value of all money,
goods, services and other things of value obtained in violation
of this subsection does not exceed $300; and subject to the
penalties set forth in (h)(2) of this section if such value
exceeds $300. (e)   (1) A person who is authorized by an issuer to furnish
money, goods, services or anything else of value upon
presentation of a credit card by the cardholder, or any agent or
employees of such person, who, with intent to defraud the issuer
or the cardholder, furnishes money, goods, services or anything
else of value upon presentation of a credit card obtained or
retained in violation of (c) of this section or a credit card
which he knows is forged violates this subsection and is subject
to the penalties set forth in (h)(1) of this section, if the
value of all money, goods, services and other things of value
furnished in violation of this subsection does not exceed $300
and is subject to the penalties set forth in (h)(2) of this
section if such value exceeds $300.
