434.630 False making or embossing of credit or debit card -- Possession of two or
more falsely made or embossed cards -- Definitions.
(1)
A person who, with intent to defraud a purported issuer, a participating party, 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 or debit
card, or utters such a credit or debit card or possesses such a credit or debit card
with knowledge that such credit or debit card has been falsely made or falsely
embossed is guilty of a Class D felony.
(2)
A person other than the purported issuer who possesses two (2) or more credit or
debit cards which are falsely made or falsely embossed is presumed to possess the
same with knowledge that they have been falsely embossed or falsely made and
with the intent to defraud.
(3)
A person "falsely makes" a credit or debit card when he makes or draws, in whole
or in part, a device or instrument which purports to be the credit or debit card of a
named issuer but which is not such a credit or debit card because the issuer did not
authorize the making or drawing, or alters a credit or debit card which was validly
issued. A person "falsely embosses" a credit or debit card when, without the
authorization of the named issuer, he completes a credit or debit card by adding any
of the matter, other than the signature of the cardholder, which an issuer requires to
appear on the credit or debit card before it can be used by a cardholder.
