Ms DD Posted May 15, 2007 RAGEH TARGET OF BANK CON By Adrian Shaw 15/05/2007 More Top Stories Have your say: Top Stories forum EX-BBC newsman Rageh Omaar almost became a victim of bank fraudsters who rifled £2.3million from the accounts of wealthy clients, a court heard yesterday. The gang, helped by a Halifax building society worker, stole identities, created bogus accounts and laundered the proceeds through car dealers. But a West London Barclays manager phoned the police when a man purporting to be Omaar - the so-called "Scud Stud" who found fame covering the Iraq war - called in. Advertisement Nigerian Oluwasegun Adekunle, 27, who lived in Central London, was jailed for five years for conspiracy to defraud and money laundering and was ordered to be deported. Shana Campbell, 24, a customer service adviser at Halifax in Bexleyheath, Kent, got four years and janitor Steven Fabian, 44, two-and-a-half years. Three Berkshire car dealers were given sentences ranging from 27 to 12 months for money laundering. Judge Anthony Pitts told Southwark crown court this was "rife" in the trade. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/tm_method=full%26objectid=19104751%26siteid=89520-name_page.html Last week there was £1200 missing from my mom's account. She asked the bank (Halifax) and she was told that a Somali guy was working at the time the money went missing and so she needs to report to the police. Mom had changed her mind as she didnt want the Somali bloke to get into trouble incase he didnt take it. Now she is convincing herself that she cant remember whether she has taken the money herself!
