A UK man sentenced to 6.5 years for scamming eight elderly victims out of £100K by posing as bank or police officials.
A 29-year-old man from Walsall, Abdirahman Yalahow, was sentenced to six years and six months in prison for defrauding eight elderly people of over £100,000 by posing as bank or police officials.
Between August and December 2024, he tricked victims into handing over their bank cards—either in person or by leaving them outside for a fake courier—then used them to withdraw cash and buy expensive items.
Police recovered electronics and digital evidence from two properties, confirming his role.
West Midlands Police warned that courier fraud is rising, stressing that banks and authorities never request PINs, card details, or courier pickups.
They urged the public to verify suspicious calls, report fraud to Action Fraud or 999 if threatened, and discuss risks with elderly relatives.
