Pair charged in tarot card curse scheme
NAPERVILLE, Ill. - Authorities say the owners of a suburban Chicago tarot-card reading business have been charged in an alleged plan to defraud customers by persuading them they were cursed.
Wow, someone who claims to be psychic and reads tarot cards is a swindler? Who’d a thunk it? Anyone with half a brain is who.
The DuPage County sheriff’s office says customers of Psychic Tarot Card Reading thought they could only lose the curse by undergoing thousands of dollars worth of counseling.
“There’s a sucker born every minute” is erroneously attributed to P. T. Barnum but was actually said by David Hannum. Psychics, tarot readers, and TV preachers have all learned Hull’s lesson well. It’s the same con in a different wrapper. They’re swindlers fleecing the gullible while feeding them bullshit.
It’s too bad I have ethics. There’s lots of money out there that the suckers just want to give away.
Stumble it!
