Hamza Mohammed

Bit of a different report to what we normally share – But what a scumbag!

Two vulnerable pensioners in their 80’s feared their money was in danger when a supposed bank employee called.

However, the real threat was the scumbag on the phone, who was about to take their money.

Hamza Mohammed, 30, conned two women in their 80s into surrendering their bank cards and PINs — then used their money to buy high-value goods and withdraw cash.

Mohammed, of Aysgarth Road, Leicester, was jailed for three years and three months at Warwick Crown Court on September 25 after admitting two counts of conspiring to commit fraud by false representation.

His calculated scam targeted women in High Wycombe and Oxford in February 2025.

Calling their landlines, Mohammed posed as a bank employee and claimed their accounts had been compromised. He told them their bank and credit cards needed to be collected for security reasons.

He exploited their fear of fraud to commit it himself.

Believing they were protecting their money, the women handed over sensitive details, including their PINs, and were told a “courier” would collect their cards.

Mohammed travelled from Leicester to collect the cards on both occasions, using the same car.

With the cards in his possession, he began spending on the return journeys to Leicester. Purchases and cash withdrawals continued until the cards were cancelled.

Between them, the two women lost £5,222.

Mohammed was arrested on July 17, 2025, and charged on June 26, 2026. He subsequently pleaded guilty.

Two women in their 80s were persuaded to trust a stranger claiming to protect them — only for him to turn that trust into a shopping spree at their expense.
