## Resource

A nationwide psychic scam has been shut down after federal authorities arrested Bridgette Evans, aka Jolene Travis, and her partner Vinnie Uwanawich for allegedly stealing millions from vulnerable victims. Evans preyed on emotionally distressed people, promising to remove curses and bad energy through fake “cleansing” rituals—requiring victims to hand over cash, gold, and valuables, which she and Uwanawich then kept. With prior convictions in Florida and Texas, Evans allegedly targeted those grieving or lonely, claiming angelic communication and karmic debt removal—all while Uwanawich managed finances and sold stolen gold. One Washington victim lost over $2 million; another was told to buy a Corvette and surrender credit cards. Arrested in Frisco, Texas, they now face conspiracy and fraud charges, with authorities urging potential victims to come forward.
