N.C.P.I.—Crim. 219B.41
CREDIT CARD FRAUD-FALSE REPRESENTATION AS TO HOLDING OR ISSUANCE OF CARD. FELONY; MISDEMEANOR.
The defendant has been charged with felonious credit card fraud.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the state must
prove five things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant used a credit card to obtain [money]
[goods] [services] [things of value].
Second, that he falsely represented to the [person] [organization]
from whom he obtained the [money] [goods] [services] [things of value]
that he was the holder1 of the credit card.
Third, that [the cardholder did not consent to this] [the credit card
had not been issued].
Fourth, that (during a six month period) the defendant thereby
obtained more than $500 worth of [money] [goods] [services] [things of
value)].
And Fifth, that the defendant intended to defraud;2
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that [on or
about the alleged date] [between the alleged dates], the defendant used
a credit card to obtain [money] [goods] [services] [things of value] by
falsely representing to the [person] [organization] from whom he
obtained the [money] [goods] [services] [things of value] that he was the
holder of the credit card, that [the cardholder did not consent to this]
[the credit card had not been issued] and, with the intent to defraud, the
defendant obtained [money] [goods] [services] [things of value] worth
more than $500.00, it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty of
felonious credit card fraud. However, if you do not so find or have a
reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, you will not return a
verdict of guilty of felonious credit card fraud but must determine whether
the defendant is guilty of non-felonious credit card fraud, which differs
from felonious credit card fraud in that it is not necessary for the State to
prove that (during a six month period) the defendant obtained more than
$500 worth of [money] [goods] [services] [things of value].
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that [on or
about the alleged date] [between the alleged dates], the defendant used
a credit card to obtain [money] [goods] [services] [things of value] by
falsely representing to the [person] [organization] from whom he
obtained the [money] [goods] [services] [things of value] that he was the
holder of the credit card, that [the card holder did not consent to this]
[the card had not been issued], and with the intent to defraud obtained
[money] [goods] [services] [things of value], it would be your duty to
return a verdict of guilty of non-felonious credit card fraud. If you do not
so find or have a reasonable doubt as to one or more of these things, you
will return a verdict of not guilty.3
