In a shocking case of deception, a man posing as a psychic on social media platforms in Bursa has been arrested for fraud and harassment against women. The suspect, whose identity has not been disclosed, targeted women who had experienced a breakup and claimed that he could reunite them with their ex-partners.
According to reports, the fake psychic lured his victims by promising to bring back their exes. However, instead of providing any legitimate psychic services, he allegedly took money from the women and subjected them to harassment. The suspect reportedly summoned the women to his residence, where he used magic as an excuse to harass them.
Furthermore, it has been alleged that the suspect opened a bank account and made unauthorized purchases using the credit cards of the deceived women. The total amount of money involved is estimated to be around 500 thousand liras.
The arrest came after a woman who fell victim to the fake psychic made a complaint to the police. Upon receiving the complaint, the police promptly raided the suspect’s apartment. During the raid, authorities seized an unlicensed pistol, a police ID, and the cash believed to have been taken from the victims.
It has also been revealed that the suspect has a criminal record consisting of 15 separate fraud charges. Consequently, he has been charged with fraud and harassment and has been referred to the courthouse for further legal proceedings.
In a separate incident, the police also conducted a raid at the suspect’s house, where they discovered a shocking scene. Inside the house, they found a total of 20 dogs and 16 cats. It is unclear at this time if there is any connection between the fake psychic and the animals found at his residence.
This case serves as a warning to individuals to be cautious when seeking the services of psychics or other similar professions. It is essential to verify the credibility and legitimacy of such practitioners before committing any money or personal information.
Authorities advise anyone who suspects they may have been defrauded by the fake psychic or experienced any form of harassment from him to come forward and report their cases to the police. This will assist in the ongoing investigation and ensure that justice is served for all the victims.
The incident underscores the importance of raising awareness about scams and fraudulent activities and educating the public on how to protect themselves against such deceptive practices.
