Nancy Marks was sentenced to five years in prison for stealing large sums of money from her clients.
Marks had tricked clients in to handing over their credit card on the pretense of seeing how many times the number six occured in the number, she also asked clients to give her large amounts of money as a way to "draw out the bad energy".
Prosecutors said Marks would suggest that clients withdraw money in particular denominations and perform minor rituals with the cash themselves, the Camera reported.

How sad! I'm glad they caught her and she's going to jail...I mean, it definitely wasn't smart of those people to fall for her scheme, but sometimes people can just be so desperate they'll do anything. Hopefully they get their money back!

Not a very good psychic if she couldn't predict the jail time. This headline should read: Fraud propagated on less intelligent folk by woman claiming to be a psychic leads to embezzlement.

Anyone who fell for this woman’s ridiculous scam needs help… and not of the Psychic kind!

This isn't what a psychic is this is a fraud. And really those who believed this was a real psychic, and that checking credit card numbers for 6's is the thing psychics do -- wow just incredible.

I do readings for 30$,and i only charge at parties or club events. If people ask for metaphysical advice,i give it. If i do a candle,the most i charge is 25$,for a fully oiled carved glittered,charged,candle. And i usually tell them to buy the stuff and to do it themselves,because then their intention is in it .

There are plenty of ethical,legit psychics,of many types. I used to work in the Bronx NYC,and id walk to lunch daily,and there was a ph... [More]

Want to see how many sixes are in the credit card number? Drawing out large sums of money to 'draw away bad energy'? What's the bad energy - the money in your bank? The scam writes itself.....

This gift is free; rather natural born or many years of dedicated meditation, It should be given for free, never pay for a reading, their motive is generated by greed. There are more than enough genuine seers who would be more than happy to help for free.
