Students cheated in £2m mobile phone scam - BBC News
A gang that targeted students in a huge mobile phone scam have been sentenced to up to six years in prison.
The group of seven set up fraudulent phone contracts with people's personal details.
Some of the students they tricked were left in serious debt which affected their credit ratings.
It's estimated they conned phone companies out of £2m in what police say was a "long-running and sophisticated fraud".
The police got involved after two students at the University of Sheffield reported their bank accounts were being used fraudulently.
The investigation uncovered an operation that targeted mobile phone companies including EE, Vodafone, O2, T-Mobile, Three and Virgin.
