£636,000 fraudster with 128 identities
By MIKE SULLIVAN, Crime Editor
Published: Today
A CONMAN used 128 fake IDs to steal £636,000 in a series of scams, a court heard yesterday.
David Peters, 30, fleeced banks, mortgage lenders and Government agencies.

Stunned cops called his identity theft the biggest they had ever discovered. He obtained 74 bogus driving licences after applying for them at a string of rural post offices.

Nigerian Peters also stole £168,575 in benefits from three London councils by claiming to be both tenant and landlord at the same address, the Old Bailey was told. Peters got a £250,000 mortgage for a house in Edgware, North London, a second mortgage on a flat in Essex worth £157,495 and took more than £60,000 from Lloyds TSB in a series of frauds.

Police said he had run his cons from 2002 until December last year.

Peters, who was also named as Oluseyi Jeremiah Adebayo on court documents, admitted 29 charges including fraud and possession of false identification documents. He will be sentenced tomorrow.

Detective Inspector Richard Fisher, of City of London Police, said after the hearing: "This is the biggest case of identity theft we have ever investigated.


"The sheer number of the fake identities we discovered are evidence of how Peters was a full-time fraudster funding a life of excess at the expense of others."

Na wao o! but it is not only naijas that are involved in such scams. People from all works of life, colours of life and countries of living are involved but the important thing is that if you are cut then you have to face the music, so let Oluseyi Jeremiah Adebayo alais David Peters face the music and exhibit his good dancing steps in jail.

And yet we complain daily that our leaders are making us look bad outside the nation.
We complain that we are being treated unfairly by people that we come across?

Nigerians are surely living under generational curses cast on them by their fore fathers. All those gods they worshiped and pledge allegiance to are surely after their children.
