Psychic Scammer



Scammer claimed to be a psychic, witch and Irish heiress, victims say as she faces extradition to UK

She has traveled [sic] America saying she's an Irish heiress, a psychic and good friends with a movie star in order to run scores of scams, her victims say.

But now Marianne Smyth is in a Maine jail awaiting a hearing next month that will decide whether she can be sent back to the United Kingdom over a scam dating back more than 15 years in Northern Ireland.

The 54-year-old American is accused of stealing more than $170,000 from at least five victims from 2008 to 2010 in Northern Ireland, where a court issued arrest warrants for her in 2021, according to legal documents. She was located and arrested last month in Maine.


Meanwhile people claiming they can foretell global temperatures decades into the future are welcome to flaunt their crystal balls within the corridors of power, in spite of being endorsed by King Charles. 

It's a funny old world.

Tammly - it's two-tier scamming on a grand scale. We seem to be moving to a two-tier world in a number of areas.
