Tan
Prosecution Update:
Tracy Tan Arraigned on
Felony Tax Evasion
Charges.
Eric Tan, who bonded
out of DuPage jail in April, returned to DuPage
Court June 23rd and received 2 years felony probation
for possession of fraudulent identification. Tracy
Tan, his wife, remains in DuPage County jail after
her arrest in March for running classic gypsy
psychic spiritual work scams on unsuspecting victims
in excess of $338,000.
Since
her initial arrest and
charges of committing
the psychic scams, Tracy
has now also been arraigned
on charges of Felony
Tax Evasion.
Gypsypsychicscams.com
began efforts back
in 2004 to raise IRS awareness of illicit Gypsy crime family
activities nationwide
-- alerting them to
the fact that none of these families pay taxes on the money
they receive from
clients for supposed "spiritual work",
to the tune of hundreds
of millions of dollars
nationwide annually.
The IRS took notice
and is now working
with law enforcement
to investigate these
matters further.
Gypsypsychicscams.com
will continue to
provide members of
law enforcement any
and all information
we have available to
them to help their investigations.
Any victims who have
information they'd
like to share in order
to help the IRS are asked to please
contact us at info@gypsypsychicscams.com
and we will forward
this information on
to authorities.

TRACY TAN
ARREST UPDATE: IRS
NOW INVOLVED. TAN GETS INDICTED
ON TWO COUNTS OF
TAX EVASION! Tracy to Appear in Court Tomorrow, 6/24.
June 23, 2008 -- Continuing to bring you live coverage of the Tan fraud case, gypsypsychicscams.com has learned that the IRS has also filed a case against psychic con artist Tracy Tan.
She is scheduled to appear
in court tomorrow, 6/24,
for arraignment on tax charges
after a DuPage grand jury
handed down two indictments
for failing to file income
taxes for 2006 and 2007. Tracy Tan has been held
in
jail on $100,000 bail since
being arrested in March.
Terms of her bail were set
by Judge Michael Burke
such that anyone who came
forward to offer to post
her bond
would need to attest by
affidavit as to the source
of the funds.
Gypsypsychicscams.com is especially pleased by this latest news on the Tan case as it's well known that Gypsy crime families do not pay any income tax on the millions and millions of dollars they scam out of victims nationwide each year. According to the book License to Steal, it's estimated that the average Gypsy fortune telling parlor takes in about $250,000 annually in money stolen from victims under the guise of the Gypsy psychic supposedly performing spiritual work to remove a curse or "darkness" from a victim. The reality -- as told firsthand to gypsypsychicscams.com by law enforcement as well as a prominent male member of the Gypsy mafia -- is that no spiritual work is ever performed. It's all a scam and the money taken by the Gypsy fortune tellers from their victims is instead used to buy expensive items, including luxury cars, to go on vacations or to gamble. Victims are literally drained of all their finances until the Gypsy con, realizing a victim is literally broke and their credit exhausted, moves on by informing the victim that they cannot be helped after all, that their "darkness" was just too powerful. Thus the victim, who'd been brainwashed into the scam, is now left penniless and in despair.
The Tracy Tan case is important because it sets a new precedent on efforts to prosecute Gypsy cons who previously have laughed at law enforcement efforts.

Why This Site Is Necessary/My Story
This site was put together as an information resource for those who are currently working with any Gypsy psychic/"spiritualist" on very
private matters that are between the client and the psychic, and who may be questioning whether or not the supposed "work" is really being
done, or whether in fact you're actually being scammed by some very ingenious, shameless and heartless con artists who have no trouble using
personal faith and Christianity itself as a vehicle to gain a victim's trust and scam them out of substantial money.
My Story
I'm a South Suburban resident who made the unfortunate mistake 10 years ago, while I was in college, to start working with a Gypsy Psychic
Fortune Teller/"Spiritualist" who I had visited for a reading. I had never been to a psychic before. I had only seen this woman's ads on a
bus transit shelter for years. To read the rest and learn how I was conned out of thousands of dollars,
please click here to read my story and my experience
with psychic scams.

Your Gypsy lives in the house you visit, or does she?
The next three photos are of the house located at 5526 N. Sayre, in Chicago,
which belongs to Sam Ely, relative of "Big Frank" Ely, the rom baro for this entire area.
The inside of his house is quite spectacular, as police suspect some fortune telling dollars
may ultimately wind up here.
