This woman is a con artist. She goes by Bella, Cathy, and savannah. I went there to get a psychic reading because my mother-in-law died. She then me she could help me and it’ll be $700 dollars more. I informed her I did not have the money and she was willing to do a payment plan with me. For 5 sessions she asked me to sage my house, meditate light a candle and then did more meditation. She said something good was going to happen on March 29th and nothing happened. She a con artist. She just scams people for their money. She has another location in bay shore on park ave. It the same business. Also, she offered to give me a refund. When I asked for the refund she asked for me first name and last name along with email wanted me to sign a non disclosure agreement. I had to take my review off along with I need to agree to never give her a bad review again along with not contact the BBB. I also spoke to other psychic and they informed me that what she did was a scam. Here text message from her saying she didn’t want me to contact the BBB.

I walked by Amanda's psychic store and stopped to get a reading. Her business goes by the name "Visions by Amanda" or "Psychic West Village". She straight away offered me 50% discounts if I choose a bundle or Tarot cards, palm reading and crystal ball. She used very generic bad stories that had high probability of being relevant to most people (e.g. "last 3 years were difficult for you (Covid), parents are divorced and that affected me, trouble in love life etc). She rushed through the reading never even looking at my palm or doing anything with the crystal ball. She then said if I don't take up some candle burning service, I will get a divorce by the year end. That cost me an additional $400 on top of the $200 for the reading. She charged me the full amount via Apple pay and told me to come back the next day. The next day she was quite offensive towards me and just kept repeating bad assumptions about my life, without actually telling me what she did overnight as she initially promised she would do. She kept making illogical statements and evidently lying. I kept asking what exactly I am getting for my money and she just kept repeating I need to do the work and go a meditate. It was evidently a scam. Most of her 5 star google reviews are written by not real customers and some reviews on Google and Yelp echo my experience.

Psychic who lures you in with low-hanging fruit of cheap readings, and then slowly moves you up the chain. I was told after a palm reading that I needed to do a "color reading" to uncover elements of my past that would help inform how I can unlock positive energy (or something). I've never done a psychic reading before and I was genuinely curious, so I thought "why not."

When I returned for the results, I was then fed a story about how a former partner of my mother's had become jealous of her and put a negative energy on her before I was born, and that this negative energy was now affecting my sexual chakra. This woman had tried meditating over many different materials, but none of them were going to help me - the only materials that would work were gold and platinum (how convenient). What did I need to do? Fork over $1500 for a 6-week spiritual cleansing. Normally this treatment would be $4k - so I was getting a steal - because some of the materials were left over from a past client. Conveniently, she would be able to put aside all clients for the next 6 weeks just to focus on me. I needed to decide within 48 hours because "the seed would only remain frozen for that long." I don't even know what that is supposed to mean.

Absolutely ridiculous.

Woman at 4090 Piedmont Avenue who advertises herself as a "psychic". Her "office" is upstairs above the Kerry House on Piedmont Ave and next to the laundromat. You may have seen the red neon sign in her window that says "Palm Reader."

Short, around 5'1", 115 lbs, brown hair, woman of color. Calls herself "Rachel". Passes out flyers outside of her "office" on the street sometimes (as shown in attachment.) I stopped in for fun one day while walking down Piedmont Ave in Oakland and got a "reading" for a small amount of cash.

She is skillful at slowly building trust and rapport with her "clients" over a long period of time. She is a scam artist in it for the long con. Over several years, payments to her were via cash, venmo, and gift cards. Over 4+ years, I was conned out of over $20,000. Beyond cash payments, gift cards to Uber, Target, JC Penney and more were requested and given under the pretense that she needed these things in order to do "her work." It was an investment for my future, she claimed. Her "services" included clearing out negative karmic energy and "bad spirits" that were afflicting me.

I'm a college-educated, working professional. I pay my taxes on time. I vote. I keep meticulous records of all my finances. I'm careful about giving out my phone number. I don't answer calls if I don't recognize the number. So yes - I'm kicking myself for being a victim of a con/scam artist. But if it can happen to me, it can happen to you. The loss of $20,000 upsets me. What upsets me more is the manipulation and emotional abuse over the course of 4+ years that she inflicted. She knew my weaknesses and exploited them.

Please be careful. No matter how sweet, wise, spiritual, caring, mentor-ish guide she may seem, she's playing you.
