BETHLEHEM, Pa. (AP) -- A woman who says she bought magic wands from a self-described psychic to erase negative thoughts says $5,400 of her money was all that disappeared.

Joann Zansky, 57, said she paid a woman who claims to be a psychic $1,800 for each of three wands.

"She was a terrific actress," Zansky said. "I believed her."

Zansky said she contacted Bethlehem police Friday after she became suspicious about the effectiveness of the wands.

"We're investigating," police Lt. Robert Righi said Monday. "Possibly it is some violation of consumer fraud."

No charges have been filed against the woman named in the complaint. A person who answered the phone at the woman's business said she was unavailable.

possible consumer fraud?! [img]graemlins/biglaugh.gif[/img]

I don't think you can be found guilty in of fraud in this instance. I mean seriously if you go to buy magic wands its really your own fault.

Stupidity should be painfull.

Why? By the sound of it, it's already expensive :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Where in our laws is there freedom from stupidity??

Plus, how would one prove the wands did or did not work??

lol [img]tongue.gif[/img] maybe they do work, but what sort of idiot would pay $1,800 each for one? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

I kinda wonder what negative thoughts the woman had that she was so desperately to get rid of until she paid that much? [img]tongue.gif[/img]

The was recently elections in Greenland. The new government-leader hired a party-member to head the civil-service. He intern hired a personal friend to do a remote healing of the home-rule offices - that means he got paid to sit at home a think positive thoughts.
