Scam: Jamie Winter outside Hull Crown Court, where she pleaded guilty to five charges of fraud after administering botox when lying about her qualifications A beautician was sentenced to 150 hours’ community work yesterday for lying to Botox clients that she qualified at Harley Street. Customers thought they were getting a bargain price at £90 a session but in reality Jamie Winter was using cheap Botox that she had bought on the internet. To reassure some she showed them a certificate which they believed proved her credentials. Hull Crown Court heard the cosmetic fillers industry is still unregulated and Winter was not breaking the law by giving the injections – her offence was fraud for misleading her clients that she was qualified to do so.
