Khan, 33, posed as motor broker and for 5 months to December 2011, when he defrauded both First Central and his clientele - selling false policies to over fifty drivers.
He obtained true policies from First Central, by delivering the insurer with false information and forged no claims paperwork to get premiums at a cheaper price tag.
He then charged drivers more than the premium, plus a managing fee, for insurance that was immediately invalid due to the misinformation.
The scam was exposed in January 2012 when Initial Central discovered all of the policies incorporated identical email addresses, and referred the situation to the City of London Police Insurance Fraud Enforcement Department (IFED), which launched a criminal investigation.
Khan was arrested at his home in the Queensbury district of Bradford, in which officers seized numerous insurance documents, £1,000 in cash, a computer, laptop, 2 iPads and many mobile phones, on which forged no claims documents were found.
In court in March, Khan pleaded guilty to 5 counts of fraud by false representation, 14 counts of utilizing a forged article and one particular count of possession of criminal residence, and he was this morning jailed for 12 months.
DS Mark Forster, who led the IFED investigation, stated: "Khan devised a car insurance scam that saw him ruthlessly target members of his neighbourhood to make thousands of pounds.
"He left his victims unknowingly out on the street with no insurance, exposing them and other drivers to risk and economic loss, but now the court has ensured he will pay out the cost for his fraud."
