Nurudeen Werra used a software package to print the fake labels and used them to send hundreds of parcels
A man conned Royal Mail out of thousands of pounds by printing out fake postage stamps and using them to mail hundreds of parcels from Hillfields Post Office.
Nurudeen Werra, of Redcap Croft, Holbrooks, avoided £11,000 of charges by setting up the elaborate scam using the so-called SmartStamp system.
He was caught out when Royal Mail carried out a random check and found something amiss.
Werra, aged 40, was put under surveillance and his scam was uncovered.
He pleaded not guilty to fraudulently obtaining parcel delivery services from the Royal Mail and three charges of possessing articles for use in fraud.
Jurors didn’t believe him though, finding him guilty of all four charges which led to 18 months behind bars.
Jailing Werra, Recorder Sarah Buckingham adjourned a confiscation hearing under the Proceeds of Crime Act for an investigation to be carried out into Werra’s finances.
Would be a lot cheaper to send him back to Nigeria or wherever he came from.
