'I want £1,000 a month... or pictures will be posted': Twisted conman, 30, targeted women of Muslim heritage threatening to post sexual images of them online in horrific campaign
Two women have described how they were 'trapped by shame' after being taken in by a conman who led them to believe he would marry them. Zeashan Mahmood faked the possibility of a future before blackmailing them into handing over more than £80,000.
Sentencing Mahmood to seven years and three months in prison, Judge Heather Lloyd said Mahmood targeted the women, who were of Muslim heritage, knowing that his threats would bring shame upon them. One victim was especially vulnerable as she has autism and dyspraxia. Over five years she handed over more than £65,000 to Mahmood after he told her he had video footage of her kissing another man at a cinema.
In 2015, the woman told her mum she owed money and asked for help paying it back. Over a five year period the mother estimated she handed over between £25,000 and £30,000 to help her daughter. He claimed Zeshan had died from cancer and asked him to look after her when he passed. "Coincidentally, Raman shared the same phone number, bank account and car as Zeashan", Ms Woods said. "This perhaps demonstrates the victim's naivety and vulnerability that she believed him."
“You will be on the streets, but don't worry, I will pay to f*** your sisters so you will have money", he told her.
