## Resource

A Texas couple is facing federal charges for running a $2.5 million psychic scam targeting vulnerable victims during life’s darkest moments—divorces, grief, and more. The wife, posing as psychic Jolene Travis, used social media to lure people into believing their pain was caused by curses, demanding cash and gold for “spiritual cleansing.” Money vanished—except for tiny scraps to keep victims hooked. One victim lost over $2 million. She’s got prior fraud convictions and used multiple aliases, even keeping the scam alive while she was jailed. Her husband allegedly managed funds, sold gold, and backed her lies. Victims were even tricked into taking out loans to buy cars for “karmic debt” clearance. Authorities urge anyone who may have been targeted to come forward. If convicted, both could face up to 20 years each. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
