"This is organized crime and there is a network all over the country. It's been going on for centuries and is passed down from generation to generation. The mothers teach their daughters... The psychics you see in the storefront who are dressed kind of shabby and don't have that much money actually are the same people who when they drive away go live in a million dollar house on the Intracoastal and they're driving around in a Maserati... It leaves the victims penniless and emotionally broken."

“I’ve never come across a case where an atheist got taken by a psychic. I’ve never had a case like that. I’m not saying it can’t happen, but I haven’t seen it.”

“It's not a crime to be gullible. But it is a crime to steal from a gullible person.”

“When the veil drops, victims face financial wreckage... A lot of people call me, and they just want to talk, tell me what happened. But they don't want to go forward. They're too embarrassed. They don't want to see their name in the papers.”

“People are very embarrassed by this. They say, "How could I have fallen for this?" ... it doesn’t matter if you’re a college professor. It doesn’t matter if you’re a lawyer. It doesn’t matter if you’re a doctor. You’re on their territory. And they know how to take advantage of that.”

“No other victims are more maligned than victims of psychic fraud. The embarrassment of being swindled plays right into the hands of phony psychics.”

“I would like to stress how ruthless these self-proclaimed psychics are. They have absolutely no regard for their fellow human beings.”
