Fortune Teller Scam Targets Vulnerable Victims
from Dallas News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Two North Texas women, Bridgette Evans and Vinnie Uwanawich, are facing charges for running a $2.5 million psychic scam targeting emotionally vulnerable victims across the country. They posed as fortune tellers, claiming victims’ heartbreak or loneliness was a supernatural curse that could only be cured by paying hefty fees—often in cash or gold—to perform “cleansing” rituals. Using fake names and social media, they manipulated grieving or recently divorced people into sending money, then returned only tiny amounts to keep them hooked. The scheme continued even after Evans was jailed, with others using her aliases to keep the operation alive. Authorities are still seeking more victims and are urging anyone who may have been scammed to report it at ic3.gov. If convicted, both could face up to 20 years in prison.
