Scammer shocked after being jailed for smishing fraud on PTSB customers
Stage: Sentence
Plea: Guilty
Outcome: Iskilu Awolumate exclaimed when he was handed the 18-month sentence, to which Judge Elva Duffy replied: "I'm afraid you are going to lose your home." Dublin Circuit Criminal Court had heard evidence that Awolumate was not just a mere money mule. She sentenced Awolumate to two-and-a-half-years with the final year suspended.
