Shatarka Nuby, a 29-year-old woman from Florida, has recently been arrested on charges of plastic surgery identity theft. She stole another woman’s credit card information and charged $9,000 to cover her breast augmentation procedure.
Nuby lifted personal information from a girl’s college application. The application never reached the university. Instead, it fell into the hands of our identity thief, who used it to open five credit cards in the girl’s name. Nuby ran up $19,000 on these cards, placing the college applicant in considerable debt.
Breast augmentation wasn’t the only plastic procedure Nuby received. She also used the illegal credit cards to pay for liposuction on her arms. If convicted, she may spend as much as ten years in jail.
What is this world coming to? Every week, there are reports of women who are committing identity theft for boob jobs, liposuction, tummy tucks, and sometimes even BOTOX. I just don’t get it.
There must be an easier way to get free plastic surgery. Nuby could have registered on My Free Implants.com to get her breast augmentation for free, but judging by her mug shot, it probably would have been a LONG time before anyone felt like throwing down cash for her surgery.
My feeling is that if you are going to make the effort to steal someone’s identity and shoulder the risk of going to jail, you may as well get something more substantial for your money than breast implants. Maybe a new car or an exotic vacation around the world. At the very least, she should have bought a plane ticket to a country where there is no extradition so that she could enjoy her new implants on a Brazilian beach.
But unfortunately, she couldn’t see past her cosmetic makeover. Now the only people who will be fondling her implants for the next ten years are other women sharing her jail cell.
