Washington, Aug 19 (ANI): Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston, Cher, Liv Tyler, Melanie Griffith, Anne Hathaway and Scott Speedman have been named as victims of a serious credit card scam.
The U.S. Secret Service have caught a woman who is accused of running the operation involving names of major Hollywood mega-stars, TMZ.com reported.
According to an affidavit filed in United States District Court, a witness claims the celebs were all violated or at least their credit cards were by a woman who ran a salon in Beverly Hills called the Chez Gabriela Studio.
Court documents accuse Maria Gabriella Perez of ripping off the credit card information from her ultra-wealthy clients and "fraudulently [charging] approximately 280,000 dollars worth of charges in a one year period".
The documents showed that Perez swindled 214,000 dollars from Liv Tyler alone.
She was arrested on federal fraud charges, and is due to appear in court in L.A. (ANI)
