Phishing gang found guilty of spending woman’s life savings

Eight members of a London-based phishing gang were found guilty of the crime at Southwark Crown Court. They stole $1.5 million from a woman’s bank account in December 2011. The victims were duped into changing the details of their bank account. They then spent the money on a three-day Christmas shopping spree in South Africa. Two others were also found guilty and will be sentenced in May. Police believe the gang stole a total of APS2 million during their three-month operation.”]
