COLUMBIA, S.C. (WIS) – The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has sentenced a man to 27 months in prison after being convicted of access device fraud involving stolen credit cards.
37-year-old Jamel Christopher Chisolm of Camden, to 27 months in federal prison for fraud after crimes that date back to 2023.
According to evidence from the investigation, in 2023, several law enforcement agencies were investigating cases of stolen mail, including missing credit cards.
During a traffic stop, local law enforcement found Chisolm with several credit cards in other people’s names. The investigators learned that the cards had been stolen from the mail.
After stealing the credit cards out of the mail, authorities say Chisolm and a colleague made unauthorized purchases and withdrawals on the credit cards through a variety of methods, including software such as “Gucci Bot.” In total, victims reported a financial loss of over $118,000.
A U.S. district judge sentenced Chisolm to 27 months in prison, followed by a three-year term of court-ordered supervision. Chisolm was also ordered to pay $118,769.88 in restitution to the victims of the crime.
