A woman from Bavaria contacts a fortune teller who, over time, makes increasingly astronomical demands for money. The woman doesn't become suspicious until late.
EA 38-year-old from Bavaria cheated her out of several hundred thousand euros as an alleged fortune teller. A 24-year-old woman who was allegedly involved in the fraud was arrested during a planned money handover, the Regensburg police announced on Friday. The 38-year-old filed a complaint in Sulzbach-Rosenberg on Wednesday. A few weeks earlier she had contacted an esoteric service that was advertised on a foreign television station.
The woman gradually paid several hundred thousand euros for these services. After another six-figure claim, she became suspicious and contacted the police. She agreed with the woman that the money would be handed over in an accompanied manner. The 24-year-old was arrested while picking up the car in a parking lot in the city.
The officials assume that the fraud is professionally organized by several people and that this was not an isolated case. The 24-year-old is being investigated on initial suspicion of commercial fraud. She is in custody.
