San Francisco resident Lisa Marie Miller bilked a Santa Clara woman out of $108,000 and a sports car by giving her “spiritual cleanings”, according to an article in the San Francisco Chronicle (available here: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/12/09/BA8H14KOHF.D… ).
Lisa Miller apparently was carrying on the family business: 
Psychic at Pythiaher mother in law was recently convicted on similar charges, and a sister in law is under investigation for bilking a woman out of $36,000 in payment for a similar “psychic cleansing.” She received two months in jail, five years probation, and is required to pay restitution. Oh — and not to ever engage in fortune telling, spiritual advising, and the like. There is considerable commentary on story at the Chronicle’s blog.
