Psychic makes 290000 dollars by telling people their moneys cursed.

[Quaxar]

Hey, if you arrest her, you have to arrest all of them. It's not like others are better, they just tell you you are cursed instead of your money... same shit, other details.

 

[JEBWrench]

I like how the psychic threatened people's families.

(Oh shit, that's against the law, isn't it. That's not funny!)

HURRHURR STUPID PEOPLE

 

[Mechsoap]

i dont understand why she was arrested, if people belived her and gave her money without force she is okay

 

[Alex The Rat]

They should have given her a medal, not arrested her!! Separating stupid people from their money is proven to make them 1/5 as likely to reproduce. I don't even think she was lying, money in the hands of somebody who's willing to believe any sort of shit is cursed in a sense...

 

[kiwi_poo]

well, money does tend to be responsible for many bad things that have happened, so she is kind of speaking the truth. plus, if you can't think for yourself and realise that giving people a lot of your own money who have money themselves, you deserve to be poor.

 

[aubreym]

have any of you seen that hypnotist video on you tube. Its incredible, he subconsciously hypnotizes people to do something. For example, he walked into a jewelry store with only a hand full of blank notes and walked out with a $2600 ring. The shop keeper was life "WTF?!" when they finally realized.

Gullibility is one thing, and everyone can say that they deserve it for what they believed. But can you conceive possibly, that it was all just cunning trickery?

After all our subconscious is something that we have no control over and can easily be manipulated.

 

[Schneizel]

How can this woman be charged with fraud and criminal impersonation when priests aren't?

 

[Tartarga]

I wonder how many people at my school would fall for this if I tried this? Probably a lot more than I would expect. I see that kind of stupidity everyday around here and I am still amazed when stuff like this happens. I mean for gods sake she was a psycic, that should have made it instantly obvious she was trying to scam you.

 

[TheFacelessOne]

America...

No wonder we're so screwed up - we got people who believe in everything.

 

[Marter]

I suppose you don't really deserve to have your money if you are that easily deceived, although I feel sorry for those that this happened to.

 

[El Poncho]

I... I just don't know anymore.

Come on, evil spirits?! If you believe that then you shouldn't be allowed any bloody money.

 

[AngryMongoose]

Sounds like a very smart woman to me.

This is why allowing idiots to be stupid is dangerous.

 

[Sovvolf]

Well... if they where dumb enough to buy it then it deserves them right.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

FUCKING GENIUS!
Damn I wish I thought of that first! Exploiting stupidity is the greatest way to make some cash and this was just brilliant!

Damn now I need to make that time machine and do this first.

Agreed!

Holy freaking Dio, that's just perfect XD This is exactly why I should get into fortune telling..."Oh my...The Runes tell me your money is the cause of your unhappiness. You must give it to me so I may exercise it though it may never be pure again."

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I hope there are no refunds, they don't deserve to have their money back.

 

[Vitor Goncalves]

Dear escapist i can not believe what i have just read,a "psychic" made 290000 dollars by telling people that there money was cursed and that the only way to break the curse was to hand over all of their "evil" money to her. Heres the link:http://io9.com/5542011/colorado-psychic-arrested-for-telling-clients-their-money-was-possessed-by-evil-spirits.

So what do you think write your thoughts.

Not saying that this doesnt happen on a daily basis all over the world but just noticing that the only two places mentioning this story are two blogs that don't seem very reliable to me as sources of truthful stories.

But once again, my faith in humanity has gone long enough for me to believe people can be this dishonest (the "psychic") and this stupid (the "victims").

 

[thePyro_13]

Respect.
Oh I know that people are going to be like "WTF? Shes a con artist!" but come on. Anyone fucking stupid enough to actually buy into that crap in the first place deserves to lose their money.
I just wish I could pull something like that off.
Ahh America, land of opportunity indeed. With plenty of backwards ass hicks who will buy into anything.
She should not even have been arrested for fraud anyway. If she is arrested then the cops should have to go round up all those evangelists and scientologists.

Their's a good reason Americans get targeted for scams more than other countries citizens. If people keep falling for it... People will keep trying to sell it.


I have no pity for someone who handed away their money because the person they gave it to told them it was cursed. I'm not saying the culprit shouldn't be punished for this, but seriously, take a second to think before you fob off all your money on nonsense.

 

[Striker501]

I shed no tears for those who lost their money.

 

[Serioli]

Given the negative publicity now dogging this 'psychic'.......

....... MAYBE THE MONEY IS CURSED!

*blows own mind*

 

[Soxafloppin]

I cant believe the stupidity of people (the people who handed there money over)

and indeed, the genius of others (The "Pyschic")
