NORRKOPING, Sweden, April 29 (UPI) -- A Swedish woman is facing forgery and fraud charges for borrowing $62,000 in her best friend's name and using it to travel to Thailand for breast implants.
The indictment against the Norrkoping woman says she tricked her friend into revealing her bank information with a story claiming she needed to deposit money and hide it from enforcement agencies, Swedish news agency TT reported Thursday.
However, the woman instead used the bank information to borrow $62,000 in her friend's name and used the money for private debts, several trips to Thailand and breast augmentation surgery while in the country.
The woman also allegedly changed her friend's address with her bank and defrauded her of another $10,000 by using the other woman's credit cards.
The suspect told authorities she planned to pay the money back at some point in the future.
