Who is the party in the wrong? The swindler or the swindlee?


A Hartford, SD woman says a Sioux Falls, SD psychic adviser who promised to bring her estranged husband back scammed her out of $30,500.


Jane Stockwell filed a lawsuit last week in Minnehaha County Circuit Court against Katherine Adams, who used to run Psychic Experience at 2012 S. Minnesota Ave. in Sioux Falls. Stockwell wants her money back plus at least $50,000 in punitive damages.


According to the complaint, Stockwell hired Adams in March 2006 to provide psychic services, personal counseling and related products. The business relationship ended in October 2007 after Stockwell made payments totaling $30,500.


“(Adams) represented to (Stockwell) ... that these services and
products would effect the return of (Stockwell’s) husband to their
marriage,” the complaint states. “(Adams) made these representations knowing that they were not true or had no reasonable ground for believing them to be true.”
The psychic business now is under different management, and Adams apparently lives in the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson, Nev. A man who tried to serve the court summons and complaint on Adams was stopped by a security guard at a gate outside her home in June.


Property records show Adams owns the $719,000 home with David Uwanawich, who ran a Henderson business called Psychic Seer from 2002 to 2008. Adams held a license to work as a psychic at his business during the same time.
Both Adams and Uwanawich are named in testimonials on an Association of Certified Psychics Web site that warns consumers about unethical psychics.
Neither could be reached for comment.


According to a May 2006 article in the Business Journal, Adams moved to Sioux Falls from Los Angeles because she had been getting phone calls from clients in the area, and clients usually prefer to talk in person.
Her business cards identified her as a personal love psychic.


“I take it very seriously, helping people with issues in their life,” the story quoted Adams as saying.
Stockwell could not be reached, and her lawyer did not return a phone call.

I guess I'm thinking in terms of massage (which hubby used to teach, now Director of Ed.) or cutting hair....or plumber for that matter.

Something you learn at a school and then sell the service.
I didn't know there were guidelines and licenses for psychics.

i've known a few psychics...crazy business they are in. is there such a thing as an ethics liscence???.

So the woman is suing the psychic for failing to fulfill what MUST have been KNOWN to the psychic to be bogus claims. Well stupid woman, if it MUST be KNOW to the psychic, U can rub 2 cents 2gether and figure out the same damn thing. If your dumb enough to give THAT much money to a psychic, the psychic deserves it, PLUS MORE for harassing the psychic after the fact.

Exactly! Some people are so stupid. It just blows my mind.

If I was a judge, and some fool brought this stupid lawsuit in my court, I'd throw her out on her ass...then FINE her for wasting the court's time.

$30k for a PSYCHIC????? No wonder the husband left her dumb ass.

x 1,000

I just can't get that amount out of my mind. No wonder the psychic's living in a $700k house! I definitely went into the wrong business. What a sweet racket - it's as good as being a TV evangelist.

psychic business....

30,000 could have been used for a SWEET divorce party.

They're both dickheads.
