A Glasgow man who was the mastermind behind the UK’s biggest case of cyber fraud has been given another two years on top of his sentence.
Feezan Hameed, 26, was jailed for 11 years last September for heading a scam which conned 750 RBS group customers out of £113m.
He used the money to fund a lavish lifestyle, even flying car polishers 8,000 miles from Scotland to Pakistan to polish his Porsches parked outside his villa in Lahore.
During a cell search in April last year Hameed was found in possession of a phone and bank account details on a piece of paper, which were being used by the prisoner in an attempt to commit further fraud. It was later estimated that the intended amount he attempted to acquire would have been around £500,000.
Hameed, currently in custody at HMP Wandsworth, was handed a consecutive two-and-a-half-year jail term.
