Scots bank worker caged over £37k fraud after stealing customer identities

A bank worker who stole the identities of customers and used their security details to drain their accounts of almost £37,000 was jailed yesterday.

Mark Abram, 38, who had a cocaine conviction, took savings from his two victims after they called Lloyds Banking Group’s call centre in Dunfermline.

He transferred £22,530 from his first victim’s account into a bogus one he’d set up at the TSB after stealing their details on February 13, 2017.

A second customer’s full balance of £14,416 was then transferred into a bogus account Abram had opened at the Nationwide.

At Falkirk Sheriff Court yesterday, Abram, of Dunfermline, pled guilty to obtaining £36,946 by fraud and was jailed for 16 months.
