Byline portrait of Yusuf Rahman
Reporter, remittances and community-targeted fraud · The Fraud Center

Yusuf reports on fraud aimed at people sending money abroad and at communities where the approach comes through a trusted intermediary rather than a cold call. He works with money-transfer records, agent listings and readers who contact the desk in languages other than English, and he checks whether a transfer business is registered before naming it.

How this journalist works

Yusuf takes accounts in the language a reader is comfortable in and has them checked back by a second speaker before quoting. Any transfer firm named is checked against HMRC and FCA registration records on the day of publication.
