Starting in September 2013, the 35-year-old victim started seeing
"Psychic Lisa," a.k.a. 39-year-old Victoria Nicholes. The victim was
experiencing marital difficulties at the time, and Nicholes allegedly
convinced her that if she didn't get rid of the "demon," the victim's
husband would leave her for a younger woman whom the victim suspected he
was having an affair with. If the "demon" wasn't removed, the victim
would never be able to sustain another romantic relationship for the
rest of her life.
According to private investigator Bob Nygaard, who has had plenty of experience with similar fraud cases,
Nicholes told the victim she was doing "God's work" and needed to
perform rituals in furtherance of the alleged "demon removal work" at an
"altar" at a mysterious church which the victim never saw and wasn't
allowed to visit.
First Nicholes allegedly said she'd need $33K in cash ($1K for each
year of her age) for special candles and crystals to be used in the
cleansing ceremony. Then she allegedly asked for a Rolex Daytona Everose
watch with a black dial (valued at $30K) because (here we go)
it would be used as part of a ritual that would "spring back time" to
before the victim was born, thereby allowing her to remove the demon.
If the victim told anyone about the "demon removal work," the work would fail.
Psychic Arrested For Conning Woman Out Of $62K For 'Demon Removal Work': Gothamist
Welcome to H&C,,, where I aggregate news of interest. Primary topics include abuse with "the church", LGBTQI+ issues, cults - including anti-vaxxers, and the Dominionist and Theocratic movements. Also of concern is the anti-science movement with interest in those that promote garbage like homeopathy, chiropractic and the like. I am an atheist and anti-theist who believes religious mythos must be die and a strong supporter of SOCAS.
