A serial liar who tricked women he dated out of tens of thousands of pounds has been jailed for five years.
Ammar Haider, from Birmingham, told three woman a series of "sob stories" to get them to part with savings, take out loans and even pawn possessions, totalling £120,000, police said.
The married father-of-two said he was a trainee pilot, ill relatives needed expensive medical treatment and he was stuck in a dangerous jail in Dubai.
When West Midlands Police looked into his finances, officers said they found transactions from other victims who had apparently been bullied into not reporting Haider to police because he pretended to be a feared gangster and threatened them and their families.
The 28-year-old from Acocks Green also told a woman from Edinburgh whom he met through a dating site that he needed £45,000 in bail money to escape torturers inside a Dubai prison, police said.
Det Con Debra Phillips, said his victims - all well-paid professionals - now had long-term financial problems.
