8 charged in $40m fortune telling scam

Paper weights. Nothing holds down a piece of paper quite like a roll of bills. LOL. I'll take your word for it, since I don't have the resources. Gave all mine to a crystal ball reader who accused me of being cheap. Since that's the truth, I figured she was the real deal.

Why not cut their hands off,But a stiff prison sentence would do the trick think about all the murderers that would kill them if they tell their fortune in jail and it aint good.But stupid is as stupid does I think both side should pay a price. You would figure that after $20,000,000 they would have stopped but greed always prevails in things like that,A whole Family of thieves should pay a whole family of pain,and I mean taken out to a desert Island with very little water and food with no shelter with lots of poison bug and scorpions and sharks all around.Society does not need people like tha...

One person gave $20 million to gypsies! It reminds me of the Winchester Mansion. This is the story from wikipedia Deeply saddened by the deaths of her daughter Annie in 1866 of marasmus, and her young husband in 1881, Winchester consulted a medium on the advice of a psychic. The "Boston Medium" told Winchester that she believed there to be a curse upon the Winchester family because the guns they made had taken so many lives[citation needed]. The psychic told Winchester that "thousands of people have died because of it and their spirits are now seeking deep vengeance." Although this is disputed... [More]

Who was the best-selling author that lost $20 million? Not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Wow, that's pretty harsh. I'd just settle for sending them to prison for a good long time. Yep put them in prison where they get free room and free food,Yep put them in prison so people can use their tax money to take care of them,yep that sounds good to me.

It's hard to believe that this sort of scam can happen in such an advanced country like America to-day , but some Gypsies are so professional at their trade they put their customer (victim) into something like a hypnotic trance . That Winchester story that Princess T . posted raises a very interesting question on morality and accountability for ones actions .... I'm sure a lot of big munition companies that make bombs will have a lot of questions to answer when they reach the afterlife .

I'm not even sure that you can use the word "scam" for this ,because what they were doing was so obvious ,or should have been .As far as I can tell it was "hand over the cash or misfortune will follow" not exactly a subtle and clever ploy .I don't think the victims deserved it but they surely can't yell too loud ,when you hand over money for a psychic or fortune teller you are paying for words ,advice ,guesses and hope...that is all you are guaranteed to get..my advice would be phone a friend and get it for free

The scamees should have just come to UM and got their free reading. Love Omnaka
