An Atlanta woman found herself in hot water after attempting to use a CPN (credit privacy number) to finance an expensive dental procedure.
What began as a routine visit to the dentist quickly escalated into a legal ordeal that ended up with her leaving in squadcar.
Video footage captured the moment when an officer entered the dentist’s office and began questioning the woman about the name under which she had made her appointment.
Unable to provide a satisfactory explanation, the woman was promptly placed in handcuffs, signaling the seriousness of the situation.
CPNs are fraudulent substitutes for social security numbers often utilized by individuals with poor credit histories.
Despite being marketed by shady repair companies as a solution for bad credit, their use is illegal and can lead to severe legal repercussions.
Upon further investigation, the woman confessed to acquiring a credit profile under someone else’s name from another individual in Atlanta.
While the allure of obtaining costly dental procedures may be tempting, resorting to fraudulent means to finance them is not only unethical but also illegal.
Many on social media expressed varied views about the incident.
@stevelilsister poked fun at the embattled lady:
“She lucky they caught her BEFORE they shaved her teeth down.”
@iamperez felt the whole arrest was a little weird.
“They act like she was about to get porcelain veneers. She was getting Lumineers and ain’t even start the process. I just can’t believe they sent 15 police when the dentist office could’ve just denied the service weirdos.”
@jetset.tee also noted:
“She didnt use a CPN she stole someone’s identity. TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS!”
For others, however, the incident serves as a stark reminder to exercise caution and avoid engaging in fraudulent activities, even pursuing seemingly desirable outcomes such as enhancing one’s appearance through cosmetic procedures like veneers.
