A “Botox Bandit?”
Did you hear the story about the “Botox Bandit” – the Florida woman who bolted before paying up for her Botox ®, claiming she had left her credit card in the car?! The rightly suspicious doctor followed her out of the office only to find that she had fled the scene!
As it turns out, she came into his practice under a fake name so she could not be traced. Low and behold, the story lands on ABC News with two clear photos of the perp’s new newly-lineless face. Botox theft is a crime just like any other – it is a theft of services.
In most doctors’ offices, it would not fall under “petty theft” either. If your check bounces after you have had your $1,000 worth of injections, the doctor cannot exactly recall your Botox! I’m not sure who officially released these photos to the media, but I hope it wasn’t the doctor for whom the doctor-patient privilege would have to take precedence over filing charges.
