A serial conwoman behind a £230,000 fraud who used the police to try and protect herself from press exposure was today jailed for 30 months.
Bankrupt Neelam Desai was sentenced after admitting to a string of offences, including setting up a bogus travel agency as part of a ‘ponzi’ scheme which left one victim more £150,000 out of pocket.
The 33-year-old juggled a number of cons, some of them carried out while serving a suspended sentence for an earlier rip-off, and tried to pay off hundreds of thousands in debts using her oblivious mother’s chequebook.
She is also under investigation by the police after further allegations of fraud emerged last month while awaiting sentence.
It is claimed Desai stole thousands in a honeypot fraud that targeted users of an Asian online dating site, which was exposed by a local paper last month.
She allegedly set up a fake profile on the marriage website, shaadi.com, using the photograph of an attractive marketing manager stolen from Facebook
