Couple loses P500k to fake feng shui expert

MANILA - A couple lost nearly half a million pesos in cash and jewelry to a fake feng shui expert who promised to rid their house of "bad spirits."

According to Carmela, she and her husband had long been hearing complaints about their house.

"May nagsabi na there's something wrong with your house. Pag me pupunta dito sinasabi bakit ang init-init ng bahay niya, ang bigat-bigat, so hindi namin pinapansin," she recalled.

"Every time na papasok ako, lumalaki ang ulo ko. Kinikilabutan ako. Nagkakasakit ang mga anak namin, sunod-sunod sila," she added.

One day, Carmela found the Instagram account of an alleged feng shui expert.

She called the feng shui expert "Celine" who told her to send pictures of her house.

"Sabi niya, 'Ma'am, meron kayo diyang kasama. Ang lakas ng negativity,'" Carmela recalled the feng shui expert as saying.

Carmela said Celine asked for P30,000 as fee to handle the feng shui inside their house.

She said Celine, a transgender, claimed there were three female spirits inside the house who were making their family sick.

Carmela said Celine placed lucky charms all over their house last August. Not content, the so-called expert also asked the couple to take out all their jewelry, wrap the jewelry in clothes that they usually wear and place these in three boxes inside the house.
