'Broker' swindles £20k in dental scam ~ Debt Managements and Consolidation

Mahibubur Rahman, a Southampton broker swindled his employer out of almost £20K through a fake dental insurance scheme.

Having set himself up as a broker, Rahman provided fake dental insurance and conned his employer out of £20K. Rahman took the proceeds of £19,178 from Denplan, which is Winchester’s largest employer. Denplan are a dental payment plan specialist, and in a effort to conceal the scam Rahman produced fake receipts from dental surgeries. Keith Cutler, Recorder of Winchester, said: “You are a man of very good character, you have had this problem and you have let yourself and your family down.”Rahman, 29, pleaded guilty to fraud and transferring criminal property between October 2009 and July 2010. The swindler claimed to have initiated the scam because he needed money to help support his family in Bangladesh, after both his father and brother died within months of each other two years ago. It’s been reported that the financial pressure of being left to support his family forced him to commit the fraud. Following a hearing at Winchester Crown Court, Rahman was given a six-month prison sentence suspended for 12 months and an unpaid work order of 100 hours. According to the Daily Echo, ‘Rahman was not given a financial order because he is living on benefits but could face a civil case in the future.’
