'Tummy tuck' thief bilked coworker for plastic surgery

Posted on March 29, 2010 by Dissent

Levi Pulkkinen reports on yet another case of ID theft to get plastic surgery:

A Kirkland woman is facing felony identity theft charges following allegation that she used a co-worker’s credit card to pay for plastic surgery and thousands of dollars worth of electronics.

In charging documents, King County prosecutors claim Alexandra K. Polack lifted a colleague’s credit card to make $2,000 in payments on a “tummy tuck” while also attempting to run up $11,305 in charges at a Bellevue Best Buy store.

According to the criminal complaint, Polack, a 39-year-old medical assistant living in Kirkland, stands accused of stealing her co-worker’s card during a training session in August.
