Jailed For Speed Dating: Notorious Romance Fraudster Back Behind Bars

A notorious Casanova Conman has been sent back to prison after breaching a court-imposed ban on attending speed dating events.

Amir Tofangsazan, 36, was made subject to the unusual ban as part of a Criminal Behaviour Order (CRIMBO) aimed at preventing him swindling and exploiting women looking for love.


He has served multiple custodial sentences for offences involving creating fake dating profiles and claiming to be a lawyer, surgeon or property tycoon.


Tofangsazan, of Sidney Road, Stockwell targeted female victims on dating sites Plenty of Fish; Tinder and Bumble and would borrow money from them with no intention of paying it back.


He was released from his latest prison sentence in January, but is now back behind bars after receiving ten months’ imprisonment at Croydon Crown Court.


He pleaded guilty to breaching the ten-year Criminal Behaviour Order by attending a Guildford speed dating event at All Bar One on April 10.


Tofangsazan also pleaded guilty to breaching the same order on May 30 in Lambeth by being in possession of a black Nokia mobile phone.


The CRIMBO was made at Lewes Crown Court on January 11, 2019 when he received three years imprisonment, following on from a sentence of seven years and nine months.


When those sentences concluded Tofangsazan similarly offended again.


He was recalled to prison when charged with the latest offences and attended the latest hearing via videolink.


The court heard that he was fortunate enough to benefit from council accommodation and retaining that property seemed to be his greatest concern.


Recorder James Lofthouse told him: “You are not a stupid man, that is plain. You were aware of the terms of your Criminal Behaviour Order and you broke it.


“The use of a speed dating service shows a targeting of the type of person this order is designed to protect.”
