Would you give a fortune teller twenty seven thousand dollars "just to hold onto" because she told you that you were too attached to money and needed to learn how to let go of it?
Yeah, me neither, but apparently that's what one woman did, worse luck for her.

As with most of these types of scams, I have a hard time wrapping my brain around WHY would someone be so gullible as to give their cash to someone without questioning their motives. I guess suspicious minds like mine are just not trusting enough to loosen the grip on my cash.
ReplyDeleteThat fortune teller must be one smooth talker to charm the money right out of the hands of her customers.
And over such a long period of time!
DeleteI'm just beginning to doubt the veracity of that Nigerian who sent me am email about an inheritance!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence, a Nigerian prince a wants to give me his fortune!
DeleteThis story is full of essence of weirdness. Not my style at all.
ReplyDeleteBlessings and Bear hugs.
As they say, god bless the weird ones ;P
DeleteYou have to be kidding....really????
ReplyDeleteGot to love the gullible ones :)
DeleteThis has got to be a joke! Maybe they were hypnotized beforehand. I just can't imagine someone handing over so much money for that reason. And it's one thing making a mistake and giving someone a load of money on a one-off, but it's another thing to do this several times over a period of 2 years.
ReplyDeleteIt does make you wonder whether they were just incredibly easily manipulated or if the clairvoyant was just that convincing.
DeleteMy parents got fooled by so many scams over the years before they lost everything. My favorite was the time they wired their last $25,000 of retirement funds to two guys in Canada with the hope they would "win" a million dollars in return. True Story!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Did they get it back?
DeletePsychics....what a sham! It isn't like they're someone legit, like those guys who prepare horoscopes for the Sunday newspaper. ;)
ReplyDeleteWell astrology is a science ... it's got an ology on the end of it.
