A fraudster who conned people out of more than £100m worldwide has been sentenced to 13 years in jail.
Tejay Fletcher, 35, founded and ran a complex banking scam called iSpoof, brought down last year in the UK's biggest fraud sting.
The website enabled criminals to appear as if they were calling from banks and tax offices in order to trick victims.
Fletcher, of Western Gateway in east London, pleaded guilty to four charges relating to fraud last month.
Judge Sally Cahill KC said it had been a "harrowing experience" for all of the victims.

As part of the scam, fraudsters using iSpoof were able to disguise phone calls so they appeared to be from a trusted organisation.
