PSYCHIC COUPLE CLAIMED MONEY WAS POSSESSED

In Lompoc, California, a pair of self-proclaimed psychics pleaded guilty Friday to scamming two women out of $244,800. Gina Lucyfenia Lee, 29, and Anthony Lee Davis, 29, who called their business Life Coach Psychic, convinced the two women that their money was possessed by evil spirits. The victims then gave the money to Lee and Davis for a cleansing, with the understanding it would be returned. One victim gave the pair $237,000 and the other gave them $7,800. On Friday, the court ordered Lee and Davis to make restitution to their victims. Family members of the defendants subsequently paid back $137,900. In addition, police confiscated $13,600 during a search. That leaves a missing balance of $93,300. The court has given Lee and Davis until July 29 to pay the balance of the money owed or face jail time.
* They gave the money for a cleansing and they got cleaned out.
* I’ve heard of money laundering but this is ridiculous.
* It’s hard to imagine the women falling for this, but if they got past the name “Life Coach Psychic” anything is possible.
* Money possessed by evil spirits? Please, don’t give the Nigerian scam artists any ideas.
* The one that handed over $237,000 – was she 30 times dumber than the one who gave them $7,800?
* I say yes.
* What morons! All you have to do is deposit the possessed money in a bank, then withdraw it as a cashiers check! The bank gets stuck with the possessed cash – problem solved!
* The crooks have till July to raise 93 grand, but with their psychic powers that should be no problem.
* Now I’m going to feel better when I’m broke. Why? Because at least my money isn’t possessed by evil spirits.
* Trouble is, that much money will never be possessed by me.
