Be very careful who you learn that recipe for a morning shot of turmeric or ‘dry fat’ banana tea.
An Australian woman, who almost put the real character Frank Abagnale, Jr. – played in theaters by Leonardo DiCaprio in ‘Catch Me If You Can’ – to shame, by posing as a doctor, giving health tips to people in videos on TikTok .
Dalya Karezi, who dressed as a healthcare professional and covered topics such as HIV and cancer in her content, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a two-year community corrections order in Sydney’s Downing Center Local Court, Yahoo reported. .
She was also ordered to pay a fine of US$8,400 (about 43 thousand reais at the current rate).
Nicknamed “Dr.Dalya.s” on Instagram and TikTok, Karezi admitted to dressing in fake uniforms and revealed that she was not authorized to give medical legal advice to anyone.
Using his main social media platform, where he has amassed 243,000 followers on TikTok and 20,000 on Instagram, Karezi gave health advice under the guise of having advanced degrees in medicine and surgery, according to court documents.
Karezi also went so far as to sign his emails and written letters as RMO (resident doctor) and VMO (visiting doctor) – giving further false details to his ‘character’s’ career.
The Daily Mail reported that Karezi sent a letter of apology to the magistrate overseeing her case, where she states that she is “crying and still struggling” with how she got to this point.
“As I write this letter, I am crying and still struggling to see how I got into this position because this is so strange and I never thought I would be in this position,” the now-defendant wrote.
“I have taken responsibility for my actions and I know there is no excuse for my actions,” Karezi’s apology continued.
“I feel ashamed and hate myself every day. Having to tell my family and friends about my actions was extremely humiliating. I understand the serious consequences of my actions and I truly regret what I did,” he added.
Dalya is a refugee from Iraq who arrived in Australia at just eight years old, in 2001, and had an apparently clean record.
She was popular among the Iraqi community and Sydney, who believed that the criminal was a specialist in women’s health, according to The Sun.
Check out the trailer for the film ‘Catch Me If You Can’ below, which tells the real story of the scammer who also managed to pass himself off as a doctor, but at a time when social media didn’t exist and it wasn’t yet possible to become an influencer.
