A father and son duo from Leicester scammed drivers out of more than £60,000 by selling worthless car insurance policies that left dozens of drivers uninsured.
Ilyas Rauf charged unsuspecting customers up to £300 for invalid policies, which left drivers facing potential fines and vehicle seizures, while secretly sharing thousands of pounds with his son Amer Ilyas.
The scams, known as 'ghost broking' are often advertised on social media, promising cheap quotes for a car insurance policy.
In the scam, bogus insurance middlemen will claim they can get you car or home insurance as a discount.
They may either hand over a fake policy or a genuine one, which they subsequently cancel to keep the refund for themselves.
