Speaker 1: You see stories in the news all the time about
Speaker 1: people who have been ripped off. Remember the scam where
Speaker 1: someone emails you from Europe about some dead relative who
Speaker 1: left you millions of dollars. Yeah, jose was so disappointed
Speaker 1: when I didn't turn up to be true. Falling for
Speaker 1: that one a few times annoying. Or there's the make
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars a day by having your cat write
Speaker 1: a blog post scam. That one got me too. Yeah.
Speaker 1: And whenever you hear about people getting tricked in volunteering
Speaker 1: tons of money to these ridiculous cons, you think, how
Speaker 1: could anybody be that dumb to fall for something so
Speaker 1: obviously fake? Because you get those emails that's say like, oh,
Speaker 1: you have a long lost cousin from the Empire of Mumbatu, right,
Speaker 1: And you look at it and you're like, no, I
Speaker 1: don't yeh, normal people do? Some people get scam by it. Well,
Speaker 1: there's a story in the news this morning that puts
Speaker 1: all of those to shame. Twenty six year old Priscilla
Speaker 1: Delmarro works as a fortune teller out of a small
Speaker 1: shop in Time Square in New York City, Okay, And
Speaker 1: about two years ago, a very wealthy thirty two year
Speaker 1: old guy from Brooklyn walked in to ask for help
Speaker 1: reuniting him with a woman that he loved back in
Speaker 1: high school named Michelle. Usually, you hear about these scams
Speaker 1: stories and you're like, well, the guy was eighty nine,
Speaker 1: so he couldn't even see the computer screen or literally
Speaker 1: didn't know what a computer was. We get how we
Speaker 1: got scammed. This is a rich, thirty two year old guy.
Speaker 1: And almost instantly Priscilla realized that she had a whale
Speaker 1: on the hook. Yeah, because guy, and you're a thirty
Speaker 1: two year old guy looking for a long lost love
Speaker 1: from high school, you just go to like Facebook, maybe
Speaker 1: even like if you have to go further Google search
Speaker 1: her name, you would. I think you should be able
Speaker 1: to find her. It shouldn't be that hard to find
Speaker 1: your long lost love. Well, Priscilla, the fortune teller could
Speaker 1: tell that she had this guy hook line and sinker.
Speaker 1: So what did she do? First? Fortune teller Priscilla told
Speaker 1: the man to buy a forty thousand dollars diamond engagement
Speaker 1: ring from Tiffany's. Then Priscilla would hold on to it
Speaker 1: so she could so she could bless the stone until
Speaker 1: his love reappeared. All right, think about this. You walk
Speaker 1: into a fortune teller's office. I guess it's the officers shop,
Speaker 1: and she goes buy a forty thousand dollars engagement ring.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it here safe for you so I
Speaker 1: can bless it. Most of us would be like, yeah, right,
Speaker 1: So he did that. Next, she had the guy pay
Speaker 1: her another forty thousand dollars to throw a fake funeral
Speaker 1: ceremony that would kill off all of the negative spirits
Speaker 1: that were blocking his happiness. When you read these things,
Speaker 1: it's like, well, I don't he deserves it? Yeah? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean maybe money well earned on her part. Priscilla
Speaker 1: wasn't finished at that point. She got another eighty thousand
Speaker 1: dollars from the guy's a total of one hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty thousand dollars now to build him a quote spirit bridge.
Speaker 1: And what is the spirit bridge gonna do? She claimed,
Speaker 1: would be the pathway for him to find contentment? Oh
Speaker 1: my god, By the way, there's no actual physical construction
Speaker 1: that goes into building a spirit bridge. How the hell
Speaker 1: does that cost eighty thousand dollars? Maybe a hundred? Okay,
Speaker 1: because the spirit bridge is not a real thing. You're
Speaker 1: not getting all sorts of machinery involved, and there's no
Speaker 1: engineers to build this spirit bridge. It's you going, You're
Speaker 1: now enlightened. I've built a spirit bridge. In my mind,
Speaker 1: all I can think is Priscilla. It must be the
Speaker 1: hottest twenty six year old psychic in the entire country.
Speaker 1: So after the eighty thousand dollars spirit bridge, she kept going,
Speaker 1: coming up with new rituals and spiritual items like bridges
Speaker 1: that this guy needs to purchase. Until February of last year.
Speaker 1: Do you think that every type she came up with
Speaker 1: something new. She's like, He's still saying, yes, she just
Speaker 1: threw it out there. She's like, I need to build
Speaker 1: eighty thousand dollars. I need it for a spirit bridge.
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely, here's a check. Well, at long last, the
Speaker 1: guy got a message on his Facebook page. It was
Speaker 1: from a high school friend that said, Hey, remember that
Speaker 1: Michelle girl you were in love with. I found that
Speaker 1: she passed away two years ago. Sorry, So this was
Speaker 1: the girl that he was looking for that he was
Speaker 1: building spirit bridges for buying engagement rings and everything else,
Speaker 1: and give me with this fortune teller. So, according to
Speaker 1: the police report, the guy was pissed obviously. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: went back into the fortune teller and confronted her with
Speaker 1: the new information that Michelle, the girl he was looking for,
Speaker 1: was already dead. And what did the fortune teller say?
Speaker 1: She said she knew about it. She said it was
Speaker 1: because the evil spirits killed her. So unbelievably, she managed
Speaker 1: to convince the guy to keep paying even more money
Speaker 1: so that she could transfer Michelle's spirit into another woman's body. Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: I'm a fortune teller, for I knew she was passed on.
Speaker 1: But what we need to do is summon her spirit
Speaker 1: and put it into another hotter, younger version of michellegded Michelle.
Speaker 1: This went on for a total of twenty months, almost
Speaker 1: two years. The guy finally realized something was off last
Speaker 1: month after he literally he ran out of every dollar
Speaker 1: that he had a grand total of seven hundred thirteen,
Speaker 1: nine hundred and seventy five thousand dollars. Oh my god,
Speaker 1: seven dollars. Where is his financial advisor in all of this?
Speaker 1: If you have that much money, there's got to be
Speaker 1: someone helping you spend. It's love. It's love, all right.
Speaker 1: There's no financial advisors involved in love. You just spend
Speaker 1: the money. He went to the cops and told them
Speaker 1: the whole story in Priscilla the fortune teller was finally
Speaker 1: arrested last week for grand larceny good which, by the way,
Speaker 1: I think is ridiculous. She just did a bang up job.
Speaker 1: Why should she get in trouble when this guy was
Speaker 1: just giving her money. I mean, she can't scam She
Speaker 1: didn't really scam him. I mean she's a fortune teller
Speaker 1: and didn't lie to him. She's a fortune teller. I
Speaker 1: believe that she knew the girl was dead. I think
Speaker 1: she should not be penalized for this guy being an idiot.
Speaker 1: Apparently all the money is gone, and it's not clear
Speaker 1: whether Priscilla has stashed it in an untraceable account or
Speaker 1: spin it all. But I believe I know where his
Speaker 1: money is and for a small fee contact me. I
Speaker 1: can help him find it.
