Details on Female Scamming $50k to Fund Ex-Cellmates Plastic Surgery

Terilyn RigginsA Florida woman has been accused of stealing thousands of dollars to assist women that she met while incarcerated get cosmetic surgeries, according to reports from the Orlando Sentinel. Terilyn Riggins, along with several other women were fraudulently using other people’s information to get enhancements.

After a 9 month investigation, the 28 year old is accused of running a crime ring, that scammed more than $50,000 worth of breast implants, tummy tucks or dental work.

When asked how they would pay for their elected surgery, women gave the stolen credit account information, saying that the card belonged to a sister or cousin. When the office verified the account, the women would be connected to it, although fraudulently. But in some cases the surgery office would be notified of the fraud before the work started – in one case minutes before. The fraud victims were generally aged between 19 and 24 years old, and when faced with the bill they either alerted their bank or ignored the bill.

Orlando Detective Todd Herb stated that there had been 14 arrests and had identified at least 12 theft victims.

From tummy tucks, to breast reductions to breast implants – whatever you could get with plastic surgery, that’s what they were getting done, said Herb.

Some made cash payments for the fraudulent information, others bartered services with Riggins such as doing her hair, or preparing meals in exchange for the surgeries.

Riggins has had several convictions dating back to 2009, ranging from petty theft to grand theft.
