Description

I was going through a super rough patch in life… I was scammed by an online psychic who had told me to purchase a ton of gold coins (ugh, it’s quite comedic and laughable when I think back now…) and had googled a psychic nearby and came across Catalina (or Kathy Miller). I had called because I didn’t know what to do with the coins after I had just broken off any contact with the previous psychic and needing advice (lol, I should’ve just held onto the coins and they’ve appreciated a lot!)… and called Kathy in a vulnerable moment. I was unsure if I wanted to go through with any psychic services - but I was just scared.. and Kathy had called me the next day asking if I still wanted a reading. I felt obligated as she had called me so I didn’t think an $80 (?) reading would hurt.. but she had her daughter call me and then long story short - she basically told me my dog was really sick and if I didn’t pay for a cleanse ($3.7k), I would be sorry. again, scared - I reluctantly went to see her in person and paid. A few weeks later.. her noticing me trying to distance myself from her, she insisted on coming over to my apt. I was too scared to let her come but I had stupidly gave her my address and told her the traffic was bad in the area and that I’d go see her. I wanted to go see her and tell her everything was good… but then all of the sudden I was cornered in their home, with my phones in the daughter’s possession.. with them telling me I needed to pay $8k for an amethyst crystal. I had to show her I didn’t have that much in my bank account and was still paying her because I was afraid of my personal safety. Later - family members found out as I was acting really off and stressed and scared and that’s when I finally blocked her and all numbers I could find of her online and filed a police report against her. Beware. and for those who are seeking psychic services - i want you to know, life does get better. don't let these evil scammers feed into your fears! there is a special place in hell for these people!
