Complaint Review: Mrs. Collins Psychic

I'll try to make this as short as possible. I gave money to psychic Lauren Collins for 8 and a half years because she promised she had healing abilities. I've struggled with mental illness and physical ailments since 2008. Those problems came to a head in 2015 when things got much worse and I could barely leave the house.

I received an advertisement for Lauren in my driveway and called her. She had me come see her and insisted on receiving $2,500 to help me saying she was realigning my chakras. I never had improvement but continued to give her money anyway because I didn't know what to do.

Eventually I started working with the VA and my mental health improved but my physical health inexplicably continued to deteriorate. Desperate I kept giving her money, waiting and hoping for improvement.

This went on for 8 and a half years until I suffered a freak accident. I was attempting to mow my lawn when my entire ankle snapped in half as I was walking into my driveway. That was a year ago and I've been in a wheelchair ever since. It was my wake up call. I stopped giving her money in January, 2024 after that because I realized she had no healing abilities.

This was all just a scam but by then I had given her over 200k over the course of so many years. Once I stopped giving her money she stopped talking to me and refuses to answer or return any texts or phone calls.

I've given her ample time to return at least some of the money but she hasn't returned a single dime. I'm at my wits end. Her business needs to be shut down and I will do everything in my power to protect other people from being scammed by her.
