HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A self-proclaimed psychic in Houston allegedly scammed a woman out tens of thousands of dollars to help with her relationship issues over three years, according to court documents.
Records show 48-year-old Theresa Sher Evans is accused of committing the felony offense of theft aggregate through a fortune-telling fraud scheme.
Evans is said to have defrauded the victim of at least $46,876.60 from July 18, 2018, to Feb. 1, 2022.
According to documents, Evans was contacted by the victim in 2018 to help with the woman’s relationship issues, improve her love life, and make her business successful again.
The victim initially paid $300 to meet with Evans and her mother, who also claimed to be psychic, at their home.
Documents show Evans told the victim that “vanquishing the dark energy involved a process.” She said if they did not rid her of this dark energy – inherited from her past ancestry – she would remain single and unsuccessful forever, and her children would face the same problem.
Evans then asked for items, such as clothing, that the victim’s romantic interest had given her and additional money as the “process” went on. Evans would apparently tell the woman the dark energy would have a daily, constant, and insidious negative effect on her life if she didn’t pay.
