A 35-year-old London man has been sentenced today to 13 years and 4 months in prison for his involvement in a major financial scam website.

A 35-year-old London man has pleaded guilty to being a key figure in running a website used by fraudsters who are believed to have conned 200,000 UK consumers out of over £43m.

More than 45,000 people lost a total of £177.6m to impersonation scams last year, according to finance industry trade body UK Finance.

There was a bit of good news this week in the seemingly never-ending war on scammers and financial crime.
