PHOENIX – Jamie Lynn Toler, 27, was charged Wednesday, May 2, with fraud and theft after telling friends, family and co-workers that she had breast cancer so she could get money for breast implants, according to an online article from the Arizona Daily Star.
Toler told everyone she was uninsured and that she needed a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery due to breast cancer. Well-meaning loved ones responded by helping her to organize fundraisers and donate money.

Once Toler had accumulated approximately $8,000, she used the cash to pay a plastic surgeon for breast implants, according to medical records obtained by the Mesa Police Department investigators.
The records also show that Toler never had cancer in the first place.
She was arrested Wednesday and released the following day on bond after a brief court appearance. She has not returned reporters’ phone calls.
