The scammer Mr. Mohamed reportedly spent a total of £175,830 during his spending spree, which included the £20,000 he blew drinking champagne at beach bars and on designer clothes in Ibiza.
The Sun reports that he stayed at the Shangri-La hotel in London’s Shard and enjoyed meals at the Edward John Lucas restaurant, while also spending £1,400 on a single pair of Armani jeans.
Mohamed also took an expensive trip to the Aspers Casino in the Westfield Stratford City shopping centre in London, and bought several takeaway meals.
Former Metropolitan Police Detective Chief Inspector Mick Neville told the Sun: ‘The most amazing thing is that someone can blow £175,000 on a bank card without the owner of the account even realising for weeks.
