A man who used a bank card belonging to Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez to go on a £175,000 spending spree has been jailed for fraud.
But he claimed he was part of a wider gang of people who accessed the card and had been made "the fall guy".Mahrez' bank card was used at a casino in London, for hotels stays, at a nail salon and for meals at Nando's and Greggs, prosecutors said. Mahrez only spotted that the large amounts had been drained from his card in September 2017, after the scam had been going on for a month.Sentencing Mohamed, of Forest Gate, east London, Judge Laurence West-Knights QC said that "staggering sums" of money were stolen.
I’m back with smile on my face again thanks to marksust7 I don’t know what to say I was skeptical but I am proud to let the world know that you’re the reason behind my successful trades life!!🙏🙏🙏🙏 God bless you for your good work
I hate ‘lazy’ reporting like this where more questions are left ‘unanswered’ e.g why wasn’t the card delivered to home address ? Which bank was it which had suck lax telephone security protocols ? Well written / researched article can ‘educate’ public how to avoid these scams!
Using his card to go to Greggs was pushing it a bit too far 😆
Abandon arrogance no matter what. Throw it away no matter what. We're just sinners.
Jailed for 3 years.. but if he'd gone to London and protested for what he believed in, he'd get 10 years. This country is a fucking joke.
1) a thief and a grass. 2) who didn’t realise your money was being stolen how? 🤣🤣
Also a copper was given a curfew for sexual assault 🤷🏻♂️
Only a 175k? The guys a millionaire...and he spent just 175k? What a waste of time!
He’ll be fine
Really wasn’t worth it
