A North London fraudster was jailed for swindling a total of £1.9 million from over 30,000 victims.

Ramzan Abubakarov, 21, was sentenced to jail for three years on February 8, at Croydon Crown Court.

The scammer - from Hendon - was found guilty of fraud by false representation, supply of articles for use in fraud, and possession of articles for use in fraud in a trial last December at the same court.
