Sherry Tina Uwanawich Claimed To Be Born Into “Gypsy Culture” And Have God Given Powers To Speak To The Dead, Offers To Remove Family Curse, Takes $1,600,000 From Woman Over 7 Years | September 11

Miami: Some people have no shame. Florida woman Sherry Tina Uwanawich was arrested after taking advantage of a grieving Florida woman over 7 years by pretending to be a psychic.

According to reports, Uwanawich was holding herself out as a psychic, fortune teller when she met a female victim at a school in Houston, Texas in 2007.

Uwanawich convinced the victim that a curse had been placed on her and her family and that she would have to cough up large sums of money to purchase items, such as crystals, candles and the like, which were needed to lift the curse.

The student took out student loans and worked extra hours at a nightclub to pay for the removal of the family curse. Soon, Ms. Uwanawich demanded gift cards, clothing and a leased automobile. Eventually, the student gave the psychic hundreds of thousands of dollars from an inheritance she received after her father’s death.

In 2014, when the student was visiting Ms. Uwanawich in Florida, Ms. Uwanawich admitted that the curse was a lie. The woman contacted a retired New York police officer who specializes in psychic fraud. Eventually the FBI picked up the case which led to the arrest of Uwanawich.

The woman claimed she was born into “Gypsy culture” and forced by her family into being a fortuneteller who would contribute all funds to the “Gypsy family.”

Sherry Tina Uwanawich, who also goes by the name Jacqueline Miller, 28, was sentenced on September 6, to 40 months in prison. She was also ordered to pay $1.6 million in restitution.
