«Breaking News» Woman, 36, jailed for four years after she pretended to have cancer and fleeced her husband

Jasmin Mistry defrauded her ex-husband, his family and members of the public out of more than £250,000

A woman who pretended to have terminal cancer and claimed more than £250,000 from her husband, his family and other men has been jailed for four years.

Jasmin Mistry, 36, from Loughborough, claimed she had cancer and told her husband she only had six months to live.

She said she needed to go to the US for treatment - but spent the money she received on Prada and Chanel handbags.

She was sentenced at Snaresbrook Crown Court in north-east London on Friday December 14, after pleading guilty to one count of fraud by false representation on October 24.

The total fraud amount was calculated by the Met Police as £253,122, with 20 members of Mistry's extended family and eight others found to have given her money. 

Mistry first told her husband, Vijay Katechia, 40, she had cancer in 2013, using a different Sim card to send herself fake WhatsApp messages pretending to be her doctor confirming the diagnosis in order to support her claim.

Using further fake messages from her doctor, Mistry said she could be treated in the US but it would cost around £500,000.

Her husband then contacted family and friends to ask for donations for her treatment.

According to the Mirror, prosecutor James Benson said: 'She displayed to her husband the apparent symptoms – trips to the toilet to vomit, describing blood in her stools, requiring help walking up and down stairs. The defendant has plainly done some research.' 

Suspicions were raised about the story when her husband's friend found her brain scan on Google.

According to the Met Police, search results claimed that 'the tumour was so severe that it would be fatal for the person with it'.

Her now ex-husband then found the fake Sim cards his wife had been using to send the fictitious doctors messages and when he confronted her, Mistry admitted she had lied. 

She told her husband she had brain cancer and only had six months to live, even using another SIM card to send herself fake texts

Mistry also posed as single on a dating app to lure two men.

One is believed to have given her £66,000, after she tricked him into believing she had cancer when he picked her up from a hospital - where she was wearing a medical wristband.

After pocketing the cash, she sent him a message from a fake persona claiming she had died.

She was also found to have defrauded another man she met on a dating website of £7,500, and two members of the public of £10,000 after pretending to be a trader and saying she could invest their money. 

Mistry was arrested in November 2017 after police were contacted and, when interviewed, she told officers she was not terminally ill and did not know why she had lied.

She conned two other men on dating apps, as well as 20 members of her husband's extended family

Reading his victim impact ­statement in court, Mr Katechia said: 'This has totally ruined my faith in humanity.

'Psychologically and emotionally, it's something I will never recover from.'

He added: 'She's a real risk to the public and I would not wish for any individual to suffer what we have.'

His mother Pushpa gave her daughter-in-law £32,000 after inviting her to the family home in Ilford, east London.

Mistry's sister-in-law gave her a £4,700 Omega watch, which Mistry then pawned.  

Detective constable Jon Bounds said: 'I am glad for the victims of this deceit that they have seen justice.

'Jasmine Mistry went to extreme lengths to manipulate those closest to her emotionally and financially to defraud her now-former husband and his family out of a large sum of money.

'This is a bizarre, shocking case.

'Our investigation revealed the scale of the fraud and the severity of the offending which has resulted in a substantial custodial sentence.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
