Jamel Christopher Chisolm, a 37-year-old resident of Camden, South Carolina, has been sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for his involvement in access device fraud related to stolen credit cards. The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Mary Geiger Lewis.
The investigation into Chisolm began in 2023 after law enforcement agencies received reports of stolen mail, which included missing credit cards. During a traffic stop, officers discovered that Chisolm possessed numerous credit cards issued in other people’s names. Authorities determined that these cards had been stolen from the mail and then used by Chisolm and an associate to make unauthorized purchases and withdrawals.
According to evidence presented during the case, Chisolm and his colleague utilized various methods—including software identified as “Gucci Bot”—to carry out fraudulent transactions with the stolen credit cards. The financial losses reported by victims exceeded $118,000.
In addition to his prison term, Chisolm will serve three years of court-ordered supervision upon release. He was also ordered to pay restitution totaling $118,769.88 to those affected by the fraud. There is no parole available in the federal system.
The investigation was conducted by the United States Postal Inspection Service, the United States Postal Service Office of Inspector General, Camden Police Department, and Kershaw County Sheriff’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney John C. Potterfield prosecuted the case.
