A Miami stripper has been arrested after allegedly giving a customer tequila during a raunchy lap dance while surreptitiously siphoning more than $60,000 from his bank accounts.
Yannelin Rivera-Bosaw, 34, was one of several dancers who performed for the unwitting victim last week in a private VIP room at the Playmates men’s club in Miami, police say.
The strippers then relentlessly provided him with tequila shots, until he got so drunk he couldn’t get up to leave, according to the police report.
While the women distracted their target, Rivera-Bosaw allegedly stole his cell phone and wallet before using his credit card and PayPal information to steal $62,000.

After his dizzying night of partying, the victim was finally able to leave the Florida hotspot around 4am.
But when he realized he was missing the items, he started checking his bank account, only to realize that he had lost much more than his wallet.
According to Miami police, he noticed that six unauthorized PayPal payments had disappeared from his account, along with several more charges to his Wells Fargo, Chase and American Express balances.
However, he was able to trace the scam back to Rivera-Bosaw, as she entered her number into his phone to send herself the money, police claimed.
A total of $62,345 was deducted from the man’s accounts.
According to the club’s website, Playmates is “the best strip club in Coral Gables,” about seven miles outside of downtown Miami.
The spunky establishment promises that the “warm and welcoming staff is sure to cater to your every need,” while the VIP service will ensure an “unforgettable night.”
Playmates Miami has been contacted by DailyMail.com for comment.
The scam allegedly took place in the VIP section of the Playmates strip club in Miami, which says high-rolling patrons will enjoy an ‘unforgettable night’
When questioned by police, the stripper reportedly admitted to detectives that she sent the money, but that the victim had consented to the transactions.
This theory was reportedly thwarted when investigators found texts from her husband and a friend complaining that one of the PayPal payments had been canceled by the man.
Investigators also said they found her story inconsistent as she explained the involvement of the other women, only to have trouble remembering their names.
The investigation of her phone also reportedly revealed that she had an illegal sideline selling growth hormone and steroids to strip club patrons.
She now faces charges of perpetrating an organized scheme to defraud, fraudulently using a credit card for $100 or more, grand larceny, and selling narcotics without a prescription.
