Didn’t he go to hand over the money himself because he foresaw the arrest? An alleged fortune teller is said to have taken several hundred thousand euros from a woman.

An alleged one Fortune teller is said to have cheated a 38-year-old from Bavaria out of several hundred thousand euros. A 24-year-old woman who was allegedly involved in the fraud was arrested during a planned money handover, the Regensburg police announced on Friday. The 38-year-old filed a complaint in Sulzbach-Rosenberg on Wednesday. A few weeks earlier she had contacted an esoteric service that was advertised on a foreign television station.

The woman gradually paid several hundred thousand euros for these services. After another six-figure claim, she became suspicious and contacted the police. She agreed with the woman that the money would be handed over in an accompanied manner. The 24-year-old was arrested while picking up the car in a parking lot in the city.
