Derek Annan, 24, is accused of being a champion in a plot to steal almost £3million from Royal Bank of Scotland customers’ accounts in the United Kingdom…
As his trial continues Annan is said to have played an important and significant role, along with others, to ensure the frauds in counts one to 11 were successful and played a significant role in attempting to ensure the fraud in count 12 was successful, although it was not.’
Annan, of Chafford Hundred, Essex, denies 11 fraud charges relating to £135,500 and an attempted fraud charge concerning a further £2.5 million.
According to MailOnline;
Derek Annan, 24, is accused of passing customers’ security details and passwords on to fraudsters who attempted to withdraw large sums of money from their accounts.
The gang had only managed to take £135,000 before they were caught, but attempts were made to withdraw a further £2.5million.
The Old Bailey heard that members of the gang would go into RBS branches and attempt to cash cheques stolen from their victims using fake identification.
If they were challenged with security questions by the cashier, they were able to answer the questions thanks to the information allegedly supplied by Annan, who worked part time at RBS branches in Chelmsford and Colchester, in Essex.
Undertakers LM Funerals Ltd had its chequebook stolen and 98 cheques were put through the banking system in an attempt to take around £836,000 in May 2011.
Fortunately, RBS investigator Richard Cross discovered the fraud before the gang were able to steal any more money.
Another idiot who puts his career on the line just to favour some idiotic fraudsters well bye bye and make sure you don’t drop the soap
