READ MORE:A mother-of-two who appeared to be a normal IT worker at a Lloyds Bank branch was in fact a ‘money addict’ who conned her own family and friends in a scam worth half a million pounds.
Bradford Crown Court heard how Allan racked up more than £16,600 worth of debts in her brother's name, which led to him having a County Court judgement made against him. The debt-ridden mother was jailed for four years. She was still committing crimes after going on bail for earlier offending On her profile, she talks about her experience working in IT and says she is 'very good at dealing with customers'. She writes: 'I am very easy to get along with and understand the issues customers are facing when they contact me and I sympathise with this.'
She writes: 'I am always trying new hobbies with my friends as I love learning and pushing myself to be able to achieve things. I am excited to see where my career within IT takes me as I learn and develop.' Further records show that she set up a second business Annabelle Maisie Trade Ltd, with a registered office in Keighley, West Yorkshire, in January last year.
Ms Alnaes said between 2017 and 2019, Allan also used her IT position at a Lloyds Bank data centre to devise a 'detailed and convincing' fake share scheme before encouraging family, friends and acquaintances to invest in it. One of Allan's victims said she had given the defendant her life savings and the defendant had shown no remorse just 'crocodile tears'.But last May she used her position at a car sales firm to advertise vehicles and obtain payments from three unsuspecting customers totalling £37,676.
