Woman steals $126,900 in eyeglass frames through Warby Parker trials, GA officials say

A woman pleaded guilty to stealing $126,900 worth of eyeglass frames from Warby Parker, Georgia officials say.

The woman admitted to using the company’s ‘Home Try-On’ program to steal eyeglass frames, according to an Aug. 4 statement from Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr.

Between October 28, 2017 and September 18, 2018, the woman opened hundreds of online accounts with Warby Parker using different email addresses to take advantage of the try-on program, the statement says.

With each account, the woman used a pre-paid debit card with little to no funds that could not be charged when the sample glasses were not returned, officials said.

The free try-on program gives customers the opportunity to order up to five pairs of glasses to try for five days. After the five days, customers are supposed to send back the glasses they tried, with an option to buy a new pair in the style they like that the company will then customize and mail to them, the Warby Parker website says.

The woman was convicted on one charge of theft by taking and was sentenced to 10 years. She will serve one year in jail and the remaining nine years on probation, the attorney general’s office said.

Information for the woman’s attorney was not immediately available.

“We are proud to be in the fight against online retail crime in our state, and we will not hesitate to pursue those who engage in this criminal behavior,” Carr said.
