CHICAGO — A woman who worked as a “psychic” at three Lakeview storefronts has pleaded guilty to defrauding a customer by promising to remove a curse from the victim for $72,000.
Jennifer Williams, 51, entered her plea on a charge of theft by deception and received a two-year probation sentence from Judge Shelley Sutker-Dermer. During her sentencing hearing last week, she paid the victim $25,000 in restitution, officials said.
Great way to make money from stupid people.
ReplyDeleteBet Jennifer didn't see that coming ...

Other than the amount involved, I don't see how this is any different than professional ghost removal or professional exorcism. If you are dumb enough to believe in that stuff, then pay away.
ReplyDeleteShe was charged for taking the woman's cash to remove the curse from it and was supposed to return the cleansed cash, which she didn't. Conversion I think it's called.
DeleteAh! That makes more sense. I was wondering why this case even got off the ground - charging people for psychic services is a longstanding thing, after all.

Long standing scam is what it was. That's why the case got off the ground.
DeleteJust because the victim was dumb enough to fall for it doesn't make it right.
She told me The Kansas City Chiefs were gonna roll over the Steelers and as a special reward Taylor was gonna give head to the entire team. Looks like she was half right.

DeleteRough looking 51.
ReplyDeleteHow did they know the curse wasn't removed?
ReplyDeleteThe comment about the curse being on cash and cash not returned makes more sense. Just bad headline editing.
That's crazy money. I would've removed the curse for $50,397.
