Jobhunters applying for work at Harrods found their bank accounts emptied by computer fraudsters who raked in more than £1million, a court heard yesterday. Victims thought they were downloading application packs posted by the prestigious west London store on Gumtree. Instead they were infecting their computers with a bug programmed by a so-called IT whizzkid on behalf of Nigerian conmen, the Old Bailey heard. Jobseekers who found their computers hacked had their bank accounts ransacked and lost up to £4,700 each. The alleged fraudsters were only caught when Harrods’ security boss was alerted to the fake ads and he investigated.
