'Tis the Season for Scams

A quick public service announcement by the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.

Over the past five years, the DA's office had approximately 13 fortune teller fraud cases filed, reported the DA's Public Information Officer Lisa McCrary. 

"Most people who are victims of this crime are embarrassed so it does not always get reported,"McCrary said in an email. "We want to educate the public that they can report this crime. And our office will prosecute."

McCrary says that most of the crimes reported were committed in the San Jose area. Two were reported in Cupertino and one in Santa Clara.
