An estate agent who photographed his clients' bank cards while showing prospective buyers around their homes was jailed for two years today.
Ayodele Oladuti, 29, of South Croydon, South London, would use the photos of cards and other documents to commit identity theft and set up bank accounts and a phone contract in their names.
He then returned to their homes to collect the fraudulently obtained cards and mobile phone, and used the photographed cards to buy clothing and electrical goods online and in stores.
In total he attempted to defraud 20 victims of just over £25,000 and was successful in obtaining just over £6,000.
His scheme came to light when one of the sellers became suspicious during a viewing as Oladuti did not leave the flat when the prospective buyers did.
The owner checked CCTV and saw him opening doors and cupboards. He took the footage to The Personal Agent's manager who immediately contacted Surrey Police.
