• Psychics & Other Frauds

Adams, 41, of San Mateo was arrested Saturday after police say she fleeced a Half Moon Bay teen out of $15,000 -- payment to ward off the bad fortune she predicted. San Mateo Police Lt. Kevin Raffaelli said the 19-year-old met Adams in December, when Adams did a psychic reading for her. Adams got the teen's phone number, and called her asking for more money to perform incantations to protect her and her family from harm, Raffaelli said.

Shaneka: Sorry, we don't do people's homework for them. Do a Google search for the Skeptic's Dictionary or James Randi.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Psychics bilk and defraud. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
