Pair Jailed Over Bank Card Fraud
The U.K. Press Association reports two young London members of a “training school for scams” have been jailed for their roles in a series of bank card frauds thought to have cost more than £250,000. Abul Ullah, 18, and Mohibur Rahman, 20, were part of a gang posing as fraud investigators who tricked people into handing over their cards and details. Ullah and Rahman admitted to charges in which these were used to buy a laptop computer for £1,024 and a Rolex watch worth £8,870. They have not been recovered. Police said they were part of a gang that recruited “feral” youths involved in drugs and street violence as a “stepping stone” to more sophisticated crime.
