Muhammed Qayyum and Adbdul Khan intercepted post and used it to gain access to victims’ account details

Two men have been sentenced after a £1m fraud in which letters from banks were intercepted and used to steal money from people’s accounts.

Muhammed Qayyum, 42, and Abdul Khan, 30, worked together on the scheme where victims had their post stolen and then banks were contacted to get the account details changed so funds could be transferred out.
