'Soothsayer' Swindles Singaporean Woman Out of Sizeable Sum

A regretful Singaporean woman says she was swindled out of a sizeable sum of money after falling under the spell of a self-proclaimed soothsayer. According to a local media report, the unfortunate case began in February when the victim, identified as Ms. Chen, thought she had found the answer to her financial problems in the form of a social media post for a Malaysian fortune teller. Upon contacting the mystic, who claimed to have amassed over $200,000 in lottery winnings, she was informed that she could experience similar luck provided she fork over a nominal fee. Like a litany of tales involving big promises from self-proclaimed psychics, Chen soon found herself in a proverbial spider's web wherein her bank balance quickly shrank rather than grew.
