Gang of fraudsters stole woman’s £1m savings

A gang of fraudsters who fleeced a woman out of her £1million life savings and blew the cash on cheeseburgers, gold and computers are facing jail.

The victim fell prey to a ‘phishing’ scam in which she unwittingly revealed her personal details after receiving a bogus bank email from Egyptian national, Tamer Abdelhamid.

Most of the money was spent during a lavish three-day shopping extravaganza in the New Year sales in January 2012.
