A self-proclaimed fortune teller in Florida has been sentenced to three and a half years in prison and ordered to repay $1.6 million (N576,000,000) after concocting a “fortune telling” fraud scheme in which she convinced a Houston woman that her family was cursed.

The scammer, Sherry Tina Uwanawich, 28, told her victim she was “a psychic/fortune teller.”

“The defendant claimed she needed large sums of money to purchase items, such as crystals, candles and the like, which were needed for meditation work in order to lift the curse. Failure to do so, the victim was led to believe, would result in harm to her and family.”

The scammer enriched “herself by obtaining money, jewelry, and other valuables based on false pretenses” as she “representing herself to have God-given powers that enabled her to help people afflicted with curses,” according a grand jury indictment.

The victim was talked into making direct deposits into Uwanawich’s bank accounts and the con artist also received money in Western Union wire transfers, the indictment said.
