In North Carolina, obtaining property under false pretenses is typically classified as a felony. The severity of the charge can vary based on the value of the property obtained; for example, if the value exceeds $1,000, it is classified as a Class H felony, which can result in a sentence of 4 to 25 months in prison, depending on prior convictions. If the value is less than $1,000, it may be considered a Class 1 misdemeanor, carrying a potential sentence of up to 120 days in jail. Courts may also impose restitution and other penalties.
