Here is the story we were talking about in Stupid News!
Genesis Medical Spa owner Scott Seidenstricker said he’s on the hunt for a “Botox Bandit.”The bandit he’s talking about received about $1,300 in Botox treatments at his Reno salon on March 13 and then skipped off without paying the bill. She told the technician she had an important call to make and would be back in one minute to go to her next appointment, Seidenstricker said.Instead, the woman walked to her car and drove off, Seidenstricker said.Botox is the brand name of a neurotoxin that is typically injected into a person’s face for cosmetic purposes so that frown lines and wrinkles are smoothed.The spa owner said he hopes the photos his technician took of the woman will help police identify her. “If it’s happening at Genesis, it’s happening somewhere else,” Seidenstricker said.He said his technicians take photos of clients before and after their treatments so they can see the difference the procedure makes. He said the “Botox Bandit” seemed very uncomfortable when she was told they were taking the photos. In some photos, she raised her head enough so her face was not clearly seen, he said.Seidenstricker said this was the third time in about a year a client left the salon without paying for pricey medical treatments.“I really don’t know where they get the idea to do this,” he said.Reno police fraud unit Sgt. Jeff Freelove said his detectives are investigating. He said there has been no other reports of “Botox Bandits” or others similar crimes at local salons and spas.Seidenstricker said the woman was seen driving off in a green four-door sedan, possibly a late 1990s Honda Accord or Toyota Camry, with California license plates.
