DATING site fraudster Neelam Desai has been jailed for 30 months today (Monday) at Croydon Crown Court.
The 33-year-old, of Beulah Grove, Selhurst, was finally brought to justice after her sentencing hearing was adjourned three times since she admitted seven counts of fraud on March 3.
Desai had pleaded guilty to writing two fraudulent cheques, handling a stolen chequebook, running an international travel business while bankrupt and three counts of trying to fraudulently sell iPhones she did not have.
Seven other counts of fraud, six relating to cheques and one to an iPhone, are to remain on file.
An investigation by the Advertiser has linked the former travel agent to a dating website scam where men were tricked out of tens of thousands of pounds.More to follow.
