Once again I get a call, today, about how a new client was told they had a curse on them by a local psychic shop. Untold amounts of money are being asked for to remove negative energy, a curse or anything a vulnerable person might believe is keeping them from finding happiness. These people are running a confidence scheme. You know those little houses you see all over the place. Well, they have a very notable place in history. It is a part of a gypsy culture.
“Authorities who study Gypsy con artists believe that nationwide the Gypsies run a multi-billion dollar crime industry.”
You can read all about it at http://www.gypsypsychiscams.com. This is a great place to start reading the history of the Gypsy Psychic Scams and it’s all here. Details about their tricks, skills and their monetary success. I know personally untold amount of individuals who have called me detailing their experiences. I have one client who was scammed out of $60,000 for quartz crystal. Others who were told to go shopping to places like Neiman Marcus to get a particular purse they were suppose to get back with all the money they gave to these people, which of course they never did.
Please read all about it and spread this information along. It seems that for every 100 people that find out what’s going on with these people, there are another 100 waiting around the corner to be had.
It’s exactly these kind of people who are causing real psychics who have integrity and ethical spiritual practices to receive undeserved negative feedback in the media. This is the origin of the misperception and these criminals have hurt many peoples’ lives both emotionally and materially and it’s resulted in challenging honest psychic practices today. However, scrutiny (both legally and within the community) is necessary to get rid of them.
I’ve decided to post every time I get a call with someone crying about the atrocious things they have been told and briefly believed. Just pass it along. Sooner or later knowledge will overwhelm schemes. Truth and integrity will endure.
Please share your experiences or your comments.
This is a very interesting article. Even online, when you call for a free so-called reading from the Gypsies. It seemed they’re reading from the same script and the websites looks the same with too many typos. Then comes the fee, it could range from $100 to $350. I’ll hang up!
Actually $100 to $350 is on the low end. They’ll take all your money, have you pay their bills, go shopping, etc. One of my clients ended up giving one of these gypsies her entire savings of $5000. When I read her situation, I could see that the guy she was “working” on really had no intention of being with her.
Sorry for being OFFTOPIC … what WP template do you use? Looks great.
Awesome blog I enjoyed reading your info

Hi. I want to report Tracy Cruze. She is a scammer. Says she goes to Saint Patrick’s church every day. She says she meditates for months. Has 22 clients. Smokes nons stop. Says she is religious. Has three little sons. A lazy fat husband who looks guilty all the time. Has a very small apartment and seems like she is moving again. She has a psychic sign on her window. Conned me and my fiancé out of $2,360. We had small jobs an planned to move out soon. She convinced us to pay her for her work. We paid her each penny and literally starved for months. She did an egg cleansing on me For 300. A flower cleansing on my fiancé and made us buy gold peices to crown together which she places on a life size candles. I spent 1300 on mine and my fiancé spend 700 for he didn’t finish. She also told us we should get married spiritually and buy her 18 bottles of liquor and each of them equalling about 60 or up. The liquor is to be poured intothe candle which now crowned. The crowned needs to have three gold peices and melted together to bind both of us together. We bought 80 and 60 dollars worth or patron and grey goose. She totally played us and kept on urging us to finish and never set a time frame so we kept on waiting for her in call. We wasted our time and money. Please help us get justice. She won’t return my money. I even asked her to stop my work and give us our money back. She says that my work is frozen and she has melted and donated my fiancée work. She is a liar and a scam artist. Please spread the word. Do not support her. She will scam you.
Thank you for posting your experience. It is sad and cruel. I do know of people who go to the district attorney’s office in their city and report the fraud. People are afraid to report these crimes because they are embarrassed. But, if it’s not reported, nothing will get done. They are cracking down on the worse offenders though. Especially the frauds targeting the rich. Here is a report (dated September 4, 2011) regarding a recent big arrest in Florida of a gypsy crime family: http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/crime/mh-family-of-psychics-charged-20110904,0,3023955.story.
Hello Cherry until doing research this weekend. I believe I have also been scammed for the past year out of thousands of dallors by a local psychic in my area. She told me my ex had a curse placed on him and we would get back together and she would help improve my life and my situation by doing work for me. So for the past year I have been giving her payments each month and countless amount of extra money for her so called work for me to help my situations. I am so glad I finally did my research because I believed her and trust her for genuine help and I see she did nothing but take money from me for a little over a year… I am left out of a lots of money sad and confused and just want to truth and some guidance. And I am sure what to do or what to believe. Can you please help me.. I would like to tell u in more details of the situation from what I was told and what has been done to me…
