Scam preys on religious beliefs
Leaflets, supposedly sent by a "world famous psychic healer" called Karina Natalia have been falling on doormats for the past fortnight.
Ms Natalia claims that she has chosen the recipient of the letter to receive her prayers of "wealth, luck and happiness" when she makes a pilgrimage to Lourdes in France.
She claims those prayers will be answered to the tune of £75,000 if the letter recipient is lucky.
The letter does not ask for money, but it does ask people to fill in the questionnaire on the back.
The personal details requested include the recipient's full name, date of birth and place of birth.
This is nearly enough information with which to open a bank account.
And the sender also asks for information on pets', partners' and spouses' names - the information a lot of people use as bank and e-mail account passwords.

. Apr 25, 2008 I have also recieved these leaflets threw fault of my own, She had put her name as someone else in a soap magazine, which I have now thrown away. When i replyed to her message in the magazine which was a large spread, she sent back mail saying her name was actually Karina Natalia and that the reason she had called herself a different name was because she was offering free advise to others and she did not want her celebraties to know. So im glad that i had looked on this site as I was about to send her a check of £30. She sends free gifts such as little angel badges. which im now about to take off and throw away. Also the letters she sends are very very clevor and do make you believe that she could help you finacialy. |

I am one of the many people who have received her leaflets and a word of advice do not fall for what is written. I did so in the past when I was extremely down and emotionally weak, sending money off, although i did recieve a book out lining dates and lucky numbers with a character description. All total tosh. Do not fall for it even though it does seem tempting if your vunerable. Please heed my advice.
