They then used it to obtain PINs and financial details from victims — emptying their accounts.

Just in the UK, 200,000 people lost £43million.

Fletcher made at least £2million from the plot and splurged it on two Range Rovers, a Lamborghini and a Rolex.

He was caught following the UK’s largest ever fraud investigation, led by the Met Police.

John Ojakovoh, prosecuting, told Southwark crown court: “This was an industrial fraud designed to exploit.”

Fletcher, of the Docklands, East London, admitted fraud charges and was sentenced to 13 years, four months’ jail.

Judge Sally Cahill KC said: “For victims, it was a harrowing experience."
