Psychic fortune teller gets $450,000 from woman after convincing her that her family is cursed and she needs to have the evil "cleansed"

The Santa Clara County District Attorney's office is looking for people who may have given money to an alleged psychic who is accused of stealing almost half a million dollars from a client.Lola Miller, also known as Donna Miller or Miss Donna, worked in the area around Santana Row before she fled the South Bay in 2005, said Assistant District Attorney Steve Gibbons with the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office.

Miller lived at 327 Baywood Avenue and 341 Cypress Avenue, both in San Jose, Gibbons said.Miller has been charged with grand theft in an amount over $150,000, Gibbons said.

The charges allege that she obtained almost $450,000 from a San Jose woman between August 2004 and March 2005.After reading the victim’s fortune, Miller told the victim that she and some of her family members were cursed and that she needed to pay money to have the evil cleansed, Gibbons said.

She also verbally threatened the victim, according to the charges.

The victim gave Miller about $350,000 in cash and another $95,000 in goods and services.

Normally, I'm in support of consumer rights, but I really don't see it as the government's job to defend the stupid.

Yeah, thats pretty fail.  If you're stupid enough to give 450,000 dollars to a psychic then you probably shouldn't get it back.

Blademaster is on a roll with people taking advantage of stupid people!

Once again, stupid people deserve to lose their money or whatever else it is if they can't use their brains or lack common sense. Miss Donna ftw.

Yes, some people are stupid, but fraud is fraud regardless of the victim's IQ.

Plus I just have extreme distaste for people who claim to really be psychic.
