Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

State or Federal Law?

Good afternoon. My question is this, someone i know has used my credit card while i was deployed to Iraq. He charged over $1500 on it. His name is not on the account, nor did he have a power of attorney to use the credit card. I am thinking about filing charges but i dont know if credit card fraud is a state or federal crime?

Thank you.
