A warning to the good-hearted who have a belief in spirituality.
This woman will prey on you if you let her.
Cynthia Miller - description - about 5 ft 1, suntanned, blond hair, (usually worn back from her face), hazel eyes, wears white a lot. Very charming and convincing, as are most con artists I suppose. She has a prominently displayed office on the upstairs of a building facing Sunrise Blvd, near the Galleria Mall, about a block east of Gateway Plaza.
I went in for a tarot card reading early this summer as my life was a bit in disorder at that time. She made a few "hits" on the reading - which in retrospect were probably just luck on her part. She said I had karmic issues that needed work and that she felt that if I did not resolve them in this lifetime that they would continue to plague me, that this was my chance to move forward. Her fee demand was $650. I felt it was a bit much, but I thought that it would be a one time deal, and if it works, it may be worth the money. As I said, she was very convincing.
It was course, not the last money request and as time went on she just wanted more and more money. Each time it was a matter of the utmost urgency. (Yeah, her house payment or latest shopping spree probably).
In the end, I am out more money than I would care to admit, but luckily I probably got out of this less ripped - off than some people who have encountered her, as I wasn't exactly a wealthy person to begin with (there was only so much she could take from me). About a month ago, my finances were depleted, and Cynthia asked me for more money that I could not provide, and had a very negative attitude when I couldn't do anything. I was very uncomfortable with the situation, but I think the real eye-opener was when the hurricane hit, I lost a week's work, and when I called her she would not return my phone calls. It became obvious that when the money well for her had run dry she had absolutely no concern for my well-being.
I consider myself to be an intelligent person, but under the right circumstances we can all be gullible.in my case, the recent leaving of a job that had me at my wits end, pre-cancerous cells identified by a physician, a boyfriend with emotional and drug problems that was also manipulating me, and a bad home life as a child that has made me a bit susceptible in my adult life to sociopaths who see me as their meal ticket. The worse life gets, sometimes the more desperate we become for anything to lift us out of it or give us hope for things improving.
One thing I have learned in life is, you good heart is your greatest liability, especially if you live in the scam capital of the U.S.
The worst thing about the situation is that I can't tell any friends or family because it is so embarrassing. I realize how the story probably sounds to any local business authority I have tried to report this scam operation to, and I truly wonder if I will get any response at all. I also feel she is such a skilled liar that she will say anthing to dodge the situation if confronted. I also fear retaliation on her part, so for that reason, and to avoid public humilation, I am keeping my identity hidden.
Anyone reading this, take warning and avoid this pseudo-psychic and scam artist Cynthia Miller like the plague.
