Maria Gabriela Perez is under house arrest after scamming A-list celebs like, Jennifer Aniston, Liv Tyler, and Melanie Griffith out of more than a quarter of a million dollars using their credit card numbers.
The famous women all frequented the salon in which Perez is the owner, according to Us Magazine . She is accused of using the credit card numbers of the celebs to make purchases for herself.
Perez, who has a criminal record for shoplifting and writing bad checks is now under house arrest while she is out on bail. She was released on $50,000 bond, according to the Toronto Sun.
Perez, 51, scammed $214,000 from Liv Tyler alone in just over a five month period. Jennifer Aniston said her damage was "not to the extent of the other girls", according to Us, and Aniston was not at all surprised to hear that Perez was caught doing this.
Apparently Aniston stopped going to Perez's salon after an incident that occurred with the owner. Aniston said that she "had a situation with Perez that was not cool".
Connecticut's Office of the Attorney General recently released information about consumer fraud with credit cards. This isn't just a problem in Hollywood, this type of scam is popular and on the rise everywhere.
