Birmingham: A couple got into serious trouble for selling unsafe cars. Sajad Hamid, 46, is now behind bars. His wife, Aisah Rashid, 37, got lucky and avoided jail time.

They sold cars that were not just faulty but dangerous. Imagine buying a car that could blow up! That’s what happened to some poor folks. They were misled by fancy ads on Facebook and eBay, thinking they were getting great deals.

Instead, they ended up with cars that were a total mess. Some victims even felt suicidal over the stress and money lost. It’s heartbreaking to hear how this scam affected their lives.

Neighbors were fed up with the constant car drop-offs at their homes. They complained to the council, which led to an investigation. The court decided to ban the couple from selling cars from their home for 20 years.

Sajad got a four-year sentence, while Aisah’s two-year sentence was suspended. The judge felt that sending her to jail would hurt their kids too much. She has to do some community service instead. It’s a wild story, and it shows how one family’s greed can hurt so many others.
