An Auburn psychic is facing a lawsuit from a dissatisfied customer who claims she bilked him out of more than $30,000 while claiming to pray for his relatives.
Abraham Char contends a woman identified in court documents only as "Mama Tanya" tricked him into providing her with thousands of dollars. Prior to the loan, Char's attorney said in the civil complaint, the woman gained Char's trust and abused it during 2010 and 2011.
"'Mama Tanya wrongfully induced Abraham Char to provide her with monies in return for her representation that she would pray for his relatives claimed by her to be suffering," attorney Charles S. Hamilton III told the court.
Contacted Tuesday, the woman's attorney, Anthony DiPietro, flatly denied the allegations of fraud and disputed basic claims in the lawsuit.
