A Kyrgyz woman lost $43,000 after trusting a local scammer posing as a psychic, ArbatMedia reports.
According to law enforcement, the woman turned to the fraudster to improve her financial situation and achieve business success. The fake fortune teller assured the victim that to activate her "money chakra," she needed to perform a special ritual—bury a large sum of money in a cemetery.
According to the scammer's instructions, the Kyrgyzstan resident brought cash three times and buried it in the same grave. The scammer claimed the money "magically disappeared" after she passed away.
After the third attempt, the woman became suspicious and contacted the police. Law enforcement officers quickly identified the suspect and detained her. A fraud investigation is underway.
