All the money has since been returned to the account holders but AIB, whose fraud team uncovered the scam, are still out of pocket. Photograph: Getty Images/iStockA gang which included mobile phone shop employees were behind a major fraud which resulted in the theft of more than €200,000 from dozens of AIB bank account holders, a Co Donegal court has heard.
In all, a total of €205,201 was taken from dozens of personal bank accounts ranging from about €1,000 to €50,000. All the money has since been returned to the account holders but AIB, whose fraud team uncovered the scam, are still out of pocket. AIB fraud management spotted the missing cash having noticed a suspect IP address had accessed or “taken over” 45 of their personal bank accounts. In May, 2019 the bank made a report of the fraud to the GNECB.
The garda said the accused was a bit hazy with some details but overall was “forthright and honest” about his involvement. He also confirmed that a number of phone shop employees were “complicit” in the scam but Enabulele was the only person before the court. No details of the identities of the phone shop employees or the location of the shops were given in evidence.
