A Perth mother-of-four and kick-boxer is behind bars after being found guilty of taking donations for a fake cancer diagnosis.

Tara Michelle Enoka used a GoFundMe video to trick $36,000 dollars of donations from friends, family and good samaritans worldwide.

Enoka was seen just three months ago at a kick boxing competing in Bangkok looking a picture of health.

But back in 2021 she claimed she was fighting a different battle.

“I was diagnosed with breast cancer and just as of two days ago, I was diagnosed with cervical cancer,” she said in a video she released at the time.

“We’re raising the money to help pay for the treatments I need to potentially save my life.”

Enoka accepted donations from across the globe and even used the hastag “Stand With Tara” to pocket the money.

But, it was all a lie and there was no cancer.

The mother-of-four broke down in tears today as her sentence was handed down – 13 months in prison – 11 of those suspended.

The magistrate labelled her actions “despicable” and “deliberate”.

Her lawyer didn’t make a comment outside court.

Enoka’s youngest daughter turns five tomorrow, a celebration her mother will miss after being sent straight from Joondalup Magistrates Court to prison.

She’ll serve two months behind bars.
