Toronto Man Scammed Out Of Thousands By Fake Psychic

Toronto, CA.- Originally, “Rick” consulted with Angel because he wanted to locate his ex-girlfriend. He saw an ad from a psychic who calls himself the “Angel of Love.” The ad seemed promising, so he replied to it. Aside from hoping to locate his ex-girlfriend, he also wanted his band to become well-known. He wanted them to become popular locally and internationally, so he kept going back to Angel.

Instead, his ex-girlfriend is nowhere to be found, his band remains unknown, and he is about $11,000 poorer. “Rick” isn’t his real name; he wishes to remain anonymous. He’s incredibly embarrassed this happened to him, primarily because he works for the Canadian government. He considers himself intelligent and doesn’t understand how this happened. Unfortunately, Rick’s case is all too common. Several weeks ago, Toronto police charged a man with fraud for claiming to be psychic and stealing from several clients.

This past Wednesday, the same police department warned the public about a trio of women pretending to be psychic and targeting Chinese women. First, they befriend the women, then trick them out of their money. Although these people give authentic psychics a bad reputation, it’s important to note that there’s a difference between psychics who break the law and those who abide by it.

The Law Is Gray When It Comes To Psychic Crimes

Constable Tony Vella from the Toronto Police Department states that it is not illegal for a psychic to accept payment for a reading. It only becomes illegal when a psychic (or someone pretending to be a psychic) scares someone on purpose to get money from them. He adds that pretending to be a psychic is illegal, but it’s not illegal if you believe you offer an authentic psychic reading. In Rick’s case, what happened to him was illegal because Angel scared Rick into believing that an evil spirit was responsible for his problems and that he could remove the spirit with payment.

After Rick replied to the “Angel of Love’s” ad, the scammer told him to meet him in his office at Dufferin and Eglington West in Toronto. When Rick showed up, it was just Angel and a female assistant. “To start, it’s going to be $900. So I went, took $900 from my Visa, and gave it to Angel,” Rick recalls. After paying, the fake psychic told him to drink some liquid from a cup he handed him. I started barfing.

I started vomiting right in a cup. Then I told Angel, ‘It’s too much,’ and Angel said, ‘It’s just the start.'” Rick continued seeing Angel several times following that first visit. During those subsequent visits, Rick spent another $3,000. Eventually, the scammer told him to call “Juan,” who lives in Miami and is Angel’s leader. Juan told Rick that he needed $11,000 because Rick’s evil spirit was in “the netherworld” and would only obey Juan’s command.

Both Men Scammed Rick With No Remorse

That would come with a hefty price, hence the $11,000. Juan assured Rick that Angel would show the evil spirit to Rick once he paid the money, and Juan removed it. I took out $8,000 more. It was the most I could get,” Rick says. “I started crying, man. He said, ‘OK, enough, we’ll work on it for you.”’ Looking back now, Rick realizes that, without a doubt, the two men scammed him. However, he’s so embarrassed and doesn’t want to report it to the authorities.

He doesn’t even want his coworkers to know about it. “You could go to the police, and all they’d do is laugh,” he says. “What am I supposed to do? What am I supposed to do now? That’s money I don’t even have, and I’m paying that back.” Of course, no evil spirit was ever “captured” or presented to Rick. “It never happened, never happened,” he laments. “My money’s gone, though. They’re happy about it, and they’re laughing. They probably got a new car. Oh f***, it’s beyond me now.”

After what Rick went through, you would think he’d be untrusting of psychics now. However, he states he hasn’t given up on them. His uncle once told him when he was a child that one psychic in a million is the real deal, and ever since his childhood, he’s been searching for that one that could change his life.

Rick should report these fake psychics to the police, no matter how embarrassed he might be. Once a fake psychic scams you, the police are the only ones that can help you.

  1. BEWARE OF THIS PROFESSIONAL SCAMMER, Psychic Rose of Markham Road
    This fake psychic woman seems old and sweet, but she is a professional scammer out to defraud you of money. The daughter seems so sweet, loving and caring, but she is evil, money crazy con artist. This is a well organized group of con men and women of different ages to lure victims, male and female to scam them of thousand of dollars. they have elaborate websites, newspaper ads, on-line ads, flyers to get victims. Have different ever changing phone numbers (ends with 431-4409, 4315, 0544, 3025, names, addresses, and nationalities. They put fake profiles on singles websites to trap victims. They are computer experts and goes on-line and writes good reviews.

    They have lived in other places and did the same thing and had to move. Police is investigating them,

    She tells everyone the same, that they are cursed and cannot get ahead in life and she can remove the curse and set your life straight. She promises work, jobs, lots of business, good life partners, good health for huge sums of money. Many people fell for this scam and lost thousand of dollars, including myself.
    One of the woman (daughter?), who said that she was divorced(lie), known as shireen, dina, olivia, rose (all fake name) came on to me, called, e-mailed and text me. Made me feel good, wanted and loved. Made many promises to me. My computer, cell phone were heacked into and contents of the e-mails, texts, changed for blacmailing purposes. I lost everything. I lost my health, my home, my family, my confidence and now suffers from extreme depression.

    • This terrible to hear Pamela. Be sure to file a report with the police. I know it won’t get back what you lost but hopefully it provides the police with more clues and evidence to lock these people up for a long time when they are caught.

  2. This person is not a “Psychic” but a complete Con Artist- everyone who seen her, she will tell you that you are cursed and that you will never have anything in life, unless you give her $1000 or more to remove a “curse”, which is a complete lie. I’ve had my friends see her and she told them all the exact same things. Pure fraud. And don’t believe any of the “positive reviews” that people have written about her on other sites, they’re all written by herself and her daughter to appear as though she’s a genuine! Be smart and do your research, and trust your gut instincts- if someone asks you for a ridiculous amount of money to remove a “curse”, get away fast from them. This is such a well organized money making scam. don’t throw your money away. I’m so shocked she hasn’t been arrested or in jail. Many phones numbers are used to con people.
