Christine Evans, that goes by the name "Yanna" the Psychic, was sentenced to six to twelve months in jail and seven years probation after pleading guilty to theft by deception and fortune telling charges.

She was a fortune teller. She took a woman for a fortune, 125-thousand dollars.

"We all have our moments in life when we're vulnerable and she just happen to come along at the wrong time for me."
The victim in this case, who doesn't want to be identified, says she was having personal and medical problems when she met up with Evans and began paying her cash, checks, and credit card advances to rid her house of evil spirits.

Another article about psychics... decided to post it here instead of opening another thread:

Of the 3,000 tips that came to the attention of the authorities after Jessica's disappearance, over 400 were from self-professed psychics or self-identified clairvoyants. Police say their information was vague and unsupported, not unlike most tips provided by psychics. But even though authorities questioned the value of such mystically-generated information, teams of detectives and FBI agents still had to be assigned to track down these leads, resulting in the use of valuable investigative resources (to no avail).

That one belongs under the "Harm" thread, I think.

Most likely she was under investigation for a period of time. That of course means that she can't even psychically (sp?) read the PRESENT, let alone the future.

Geez, would have been cheaper if she'd left the evil spirits alone and just moved. :D :D
