On 3/17/08 This "Miss Helen" person accosted my mother in Wal-Mart St. Clairsville, asked for the time, then proceeded to give her a "reading" right there in the store. A classic scam. At the end after telling my mom she has a "dark cloud around her" she had the nerve to ask for 25.00 and my mother foolishly paid her, stupefied at what had happened. The dark cloud is Miss Helen.
I would think one with any sense of clairvoyance would know that solicitation in a Wal-Mart is illegal, but apparently the force isn't strong in this one.
I have notified management at Wal-Mart to be on the lookout for this woman scamming innocent shoppers and soliciting fake services, but the best defense against her type is to never, ever give her your business or money, no matter what. Next time it could happen to your mother or grandmother at the shopping center. This woman has some nerve.
Pros: none
Cons: She is a con, plain and simple.
