Hello, I have checked out the gypsypsychicscams site before. I actually emailed my story to the person who runs it, but it hasn't been posted. I think it's been a while since he's updated it, but I have read the stories on there. This is so horrible. I wish there was some way law enforcement could stop these people somehow. I'll call that number you posted too and see what they say. Thank you again and God bless you as well.

This person Holly Marks/aka anybody else/ is certainly a Romani Gypsy. In America in their Gypsy culture , it is a typical cultural mode of operation, to 'take advantage', play 'little games' .say 'little 'jokes' (BIG LIES) to part you from your money. They like to play it down,and just call it 'taking advantage' (or 'a little taking advantage' ). The children, she was just training them; it was part of their education. They call us dili koostimangkas : crazy customers/willing marks/willing victims. Sounds like 'goostimangka' in their language. Only God knows her real name. It could be anything. Go to www.gypsypsychicscams.com and read all victim's stories. You can see a pattern. Post your story there too. It is 'confidence' crime at the very least. Some authorities call it 'theft by deception' and some call it extortion. MARKS is an often used Gypsy name; only God knows their real names. The Machwaya(some), some Uwanawich and Flores(or Floris) and other groups and families use this very common name. (And will sometimes also alternatively use Miller, Mitchell, Evans ,Nicholas,Thompson, Williams,etc. for different locations or purposes.) "Holly's"/aka 'who-knows-who-she-is's' only anger was in not getting more money out of you. What she got from you they would consider small bucks indeed in their culture, but a good day's effort. A confidence crime looks to the skeptical and heartless like it is not illegal, but it is illegal. Just not as 'bad' as going door to door with the '-hold-the-sheet-up' theft and scare tactics they do to terrify and rob the elderly, or going door to door with burglary tools.Or any of the other scams. "aka Holly" was doing what the women do, what their parents taught them to do, and what their husband demands they do. Holly was only angry that she didnt get more from you. In fact,she was laughing through her teeth, I'll bet, at her cleverness at getting anything from you. It is how they are trained, how they are brought up to make a living.And, she was training her kids. Especially since they rarely actually go to school. The Gypsy fortune-tellers scare people by saying you or me, the customers, the crazy gkoostimangkas, have a 'curse', and need more and more money for prayers, cleansing, special meetings at their late night 'church' (their crime group really),and special expensive 'holy blessed (sometimes 'tall,tall') candles that cost a mint and come from a special convent/monastery in Quebec,etc,etc. OR something bad will happen to us or our loved ones. Terror eventually. Aka holly could have been a lot worse. Google : Grace Uwanawich (Miller)- she terrorized many many women. First please look at www.gypsypsychicscams.com and then please look at www.seminolesheriff.org. Look to the right hand column,and click on the bottom words "transient offenders". You will get many pages of many lists of many people with multiple aliases from this general Romani culture who do similar-and/or worse crimes.I say general. because not every single Gypsy does all these worst things. Generally in their culture they are taught to 'take advantage' (this is what they call it!) but not all are equally bad,and many are much worse and scarier than this 'aka Holly'. (For seminolesheriff.org,The most recent transient offenders are on the main page in the middle, but for all of those, plus the hundreds or thousands more, it is best to go straight to the list of all the pages,and click on each,first by clicking on words on bottom right hand list 'transient offenders.) These people are everywhere. You could call NABI (Bunco Investigators- National Assoc) at 410-752-8150 and ask them what they advise. Good luck to you,and God bless you. I have had horrendous experiences with these people. Stay away from any so-called 'psychic'. More later...will post tomorrow. Again,God bless you.

Thanks to the people who have responded so far. Yes, I did make a huge mistake by going back for additional "financial punishment", but I have finally paid off all my payday loan debts that I have incurred because of what happened. I am slowly getting my life back together. I thought I should finally tell my story after two years so I can warn people against these kinds of charlatans.

I read the Rip Off Report and I read these tear-jerking stories about these people who fell for the FAKE psychic telephone hotlines and websites and chat rooms and the FAKERS who promised to cast the spells and all their dreams will come true BUT THEY WON'T because IT IS ALL BASED ON LIES, MAKE-BELIEVE, FICTION, ILLUSION and it is ALL FAKE! I guess the people who fall for these scams are at a low point in their lives and they don't think it can get any worse--BUT IT CAN. They suspend good sense, logic and just pour good money after bad until they wake up and their money is all gone --their unemployment, savings, etc. and if they are lucky, they won't end up homeless... And the fakes who pretended to have the answers, the spells, the power, the friendship, the dedication and the concern no longer talk with them when the money is all gone and that usually happens about the time the VICTIM realizes that they have been conned. READ THE RIP OFF REPORT AND DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY AND WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS PATHETIC, FAKE CHILDRENS' STORIES which adults should have outgrown a long time ago. THE ONLY THING THESE FAKERS THINK ABOUT IS THEIR OWN POCKETBOOK AND HOW TO EMPTY YOUR POCKETS AND TO GET EVERYTHING YOU HAVE! THEY USE THEIR VICTIMS UP AND DUMP THEM OUT LIKE AN EMPTY BEER CAN. AVOID THESE LYING CON ARTISTS.

You could have avoided this loss and humiliation by just using common sense. Nobody and I DO mean Nobody can predict the future, make someone fall in love with you, cast a so-call spell, make you rich, etc. They have ONE thought in mind...to cause a fool and his or her money to part. It is very, very foolish for anyone to believe in this sort of hocus-pocus. I am sorry for your monetary losses, but you should have just used common, every day horse sense. There is really no excuse for what you allowed to happen to yourself... You kept coming back to her for more financial punishment.
