Fake doctor ERNEST ADDO apparently didn’t need a license to practice medicine – cops say he just tapped websites and smartphone apps to get the info he needed!
The crafty con man allegedly treated as many as 500 patients, earned $175,000 for his work and got a brand-new Mercedes to drive before cops caught him.
“He was very convincing,” Sheriff James Metts of South Carolina’s Lexington County told The ENQUIRER. “If you’re working around real doctors and nurses, I’d say you’d have to be pretty sharp to pull this off.”
Authorities say Addo, who got some medical training in Belize, stole the identity of Dr. Arthur Kennedy, a family physician in Orangeburg, S.C.
