A serial fraudster managed to con prison guards into letting him walk free from jail by sending them emails from the ‘ courts service ’ demanding his release . Neil Moore , 28 , set up a fake website and sent emails purporting to be from the courts service to trick Wandsworth Prison into thinking he had been freed on bail by a judge . However , the ‘ consummate and practiced ’ conman appeared to have a ‘ change of heart ’ just three days after his release and was re-arrested after informing his solicitor of his actions . Neil Moore , 28 , walked out of Wandsworth Prison ( pictured ) in March after setting up a fake website and sending emails purporting to be from the courts service to trick guards into thinking he had been freed on bail . Moore , of Ilford , north east London , had originally been jailed for an elaborate web of frauds which saw him posing as bank staff to dupe major organisations into handing over more than £1million . He pretended to be employed by RBS , Lloyds bank , and Bank of America to dupe companies into handing over money . Cambia Autos was conned out of £46,000 in November 2013 , Thomas Global Exchange handed over £140,000 to Moore , TD Banking gave up $ 120,751 , and Hogan and Vest was duped out of $ 739,439 in 2012 and 2013 . Moore also targeted Volkswagen by posing as an employee of the Bank of New York in December 2013 . Ian Paton , prosecuting , described Moore as a ‘ consummate and practiced ’ fraudster . ‘ He [ Moore ] acquired bail forms that he adapted for his purposes , ’ he said . Moore 's transgender wife , Kristen Angel , 27 , was at Southwark Crown Court today to support her partner . Moore had carried out the cons over the phone , leading investigators to suspect his transgender wife , Kristen Angel Moore , 27 , of being involved as well , but the fraud charges against her were dropped . The couple are in a civil partnership but Mrs Moore has been unable to visit her partner in prison because of her transgender status . Moore admitted five counts of fraud at Southwark Crown Court today and planned to deny a further charge of unlawful escape and have it thrown out . However , when the prosecution said his case was almost ‘ unanswerable ’ Moore decided to change his plea on the latter charge to guilty . Judge John Price had said of Moore ’ s anxiety to press on with the case : ‘ He can have his argument [ dismissal of the count ] , but the defendant knows what he did or didn ’ t do. ’ Moore had been in custody since January 21 last year and devised the escape plan from his cell . He successfully designed a fake website and sent emails purporting to be from the court service alleging he was legible for bail . On March 10 , he collected his belongings and simply walked out of Wandsworth where murderers and rapists are held . At today 's hearing , Judge Price ordered reports before sentencing Moore and said : ‘ It is obviously going to be prison , but it ’ s important to know more about you. ’ Afterwards , Met Police detective inspector Chris Soole said : ‘ This is a very intelligent fraudster . ‘ He was very apt at committing a number of different frauds across the globe . ‘ This shows the Metropolitan Police ’ s commitment to investigating fraud and ensuring justice for the victims . ’
