Frisco Couple Accused of $2.5 Million Psychic Scam

In a story that sounds like it was ripped from the pages of a bad crime novel, a Frisco couple allegedly swindled a staggering $2.5 million under the guise of psychic prowess. According to NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, Bridgette Evans and her partner in metaphysical mayhem, Vinnie Uwanawich, convinced victims that their love lives were cursed and only a hefty financial cleansing could save them.

Now, don’t get me wrong — everyone loves a good fortune-telling. Who can resist the allure of having a psychic tell you that you’re destined for greatness? But Evans and Uwanawich took it to a new level by persuading victims to liquidate their assets, buy gold coins, and even purchase a Corvette. You must admit, that’s a lot of bling for some spiritual cleansing.

What’s truly mind-boggling is how these charlatans managed to keep this scam running from 2021 to 2024, even while Evans was serving time for a previous psychic scam. The audacity is almost impressive. While Evans was supposedly “with the angels,” her dupes remained hooked, convinced they were just one more payment away from romantic bliss.

The real tragedy here, of course, is the victims. Preying on emotionally vulnerable individuals is a special kind of malevolence. Yet, this case is a mere drop in the cauldron of the growing trend of romance and confidence scams. As the FBI reports, Americans lost an eye-watering $929 million in 2025 alone to these types of frauds, with seniors being frequent targets.

So what’s the lesson here? If someone tells you they can lift a curse for the low price of your life savings, it might be time to reconsider your social circle. And maybe, just maybe, we should also start teaching critical thinking alongside reading crystal balls.

In a world where the supernatural often meets the super-scammy, let’s keep our wallets where our common sense is. Otherwise, the next big psychic prediction might just be about your bank account balance — and it won’t be pretty.
