Binghamton psychic guilty of defrauding lovesick victim
On May 8, Patsy Brown of Binghamton Physic, located at 257 Vestal Parkway in Vestal, pleaded guilty to violation of Scheme to Defraud in the First Degree.
Brown was arrested by the Vestal Police Department last year for Grand Larceny, Conspiracy, and Fortune Telling after a client reported that she took advantage of him when he was extremely vulnerable.
According to Bob Nygaard, a private investigator hired by one of the victims, the victim received a $20 tarot card reading from Brown at the Broome County Fair in 2022. A few days later, he visited her at the fortune-telling parlor in Vestal. Brown then encouraged the victim to perform egg rituals, promising him they would bring back his fiancée, who had recently left him. Brown instructed the victim to send her money and purchase her gifts as part of the ritual, promising she would return the payments. Ultimately, the victim's fiancée never returned, and the victim was never paid back as promised.
According to court records, Brown was sentenced to five years of probation and was also ordered to pay back the two victims a combined total of $20,000.
