Pamela Ufie, a 28-year-old fortune teller, has been arrested for allegedly defrauding a 43-year-old hotel cleaner out of $87,000. The scheme started when the victim encountered Ufie in Times Square, who claimed she had a 'darkness' over her. The victim initially paid $100 but was manipulated into providing larger sum payments to lift a supposed 'generational curse.' The con lasted until late October 2023 with no money returned. Ufie pleaded not guilty to the charges of grand larceny and fraudulent accosting.
"This is the fourth time I've helped the cops with Pamela Ufie," Nygaard told The Post Sunday. "She's a self-proclaimed psychic who preys upon vulnerable people and steals from them."
Ufie told the victim that her son was going to die if she did not let her help lift what she described as a 'generational curse.'
Ufie also told the victim that she and her son would die if she didn't help lift the darkness."
The alleged grifter told the victim the only way to lift the curse was if she gave her money, since money is the root of all evil, and she and others would cleanse it and then return it.
