The mastermind behind an online fraud shop used to con victims out of more than £100million has been jailed for more than 13 years. Tejay Fletcher, 35, bought a £230,000 Lamborghini, two Range Rovers worth £110,000 and an £11,000 Rolex after making around £2 million from the iSpoof.cc website.
He was the founder and leading administrator of the site, which was brought down last year in the UK's biggest fraud sting. Criminals were offered tools that allowed them to disguise phone calls so they appeared to be from a trusted organisation, such as a bank, so they could empty their targets' accounts.
Victims around the world were defrauded of at least £100million, including a minimum of £43million from people in the UK, Southwark Crown Court was told. The website earned around £3.2million in cryptocurrency Bitcoin, with the "lion's share" of around £2million ending up with Fletcher, said prosecutor John Ojakovoh.
