more falsely made or embossed cards -- Definitions.

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

(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.
