In an unusual circumstance, a Center Township woman has been charged
with illegal fortunetelling, a misdemeanor charge under the Pennsylvania
crimes code.
According to a police report, Sophey M. Mills, 27,
is accused of scamming two people out of about $3,200 each through her
business, Psychic and Tarot Card Readings by Sophia.
Police said
the the alleged victims contacted authorities after having multiple
visits with Mills. In both cases, Mills suggested that they create
“mojo” or “healing” jars filled with money in order to “rid them of evil
spirits or negativity that is influencing their life,” police said.
According
to the report, Mills’ clients were told to place $100 bills in the jar,
along with an egg wrapped in a white T-shirt and various other items.
One of the victims had $3,000 in the jar at one point, police said, and
the other had $2,300.
In both cases, police said, Mills cracked
the eggs and told the clients to run away because evil was trapped in
the egg. They ran but then later contacted Mills to have their money
returned. Mills refused to return the cash because “the evil was still
too strong,” police said.
