Below is an extract from a British newspaper site which I found while seaching for 'Marie Callas' (apparent Clarivoyant, Medium, Numerologist, Specialist in Astrology & Tarot etc etc etc etc....).
I replied to Marie Callas' ad in a magazine (Australian) for a laugh, to receive my free 'Good Luck Pack' which would change my life for ever with the granting of all my wishes (money related of course).
Within days I received a letter from my new friend, expressing her deepest concern about my life, and assuring me that she has been sent to help, that she really cares about me, and for a special price (since I'm her friend) of $AU $80.00 (usually $200.00) she will give me lucky numbers for playing lotto, all I have to do is a couple of silly rituals, return my order form and money in her reply paid envelope, and all my money problems will be solved forever.
I didn't reply. That was six months ago, and once a month since, I have received a letter from my new friend, encouraging me to have faith in her, as she can see great things in my future, all I have to do is send her money!
The internet is very quiet about Marie Callas, and I am presuming it may be a pseudonym. Her reply address is:

Beware stupidity of astrology
THIS is a warning on the stupidity of astrology and other occult practices.
When I was sorting out all the paperwork, I kept a letter posted a few days before my brother died on March 12 this year.
Marie Callas, “Specialist in Astrology and Tarot” and with an Aldershot P.O. box, wrote:
“I’m going to consult the future for you to discover the numbers that should scoop one of the biggest lottery prizes for the month of April.
I ought to tell you why I’ve chosen you, personally.
“I did some research. I faced thousands of cases. People working really hard to earn just enough to live on...desperate financial situations.....single women....
Blah blah blah
“....it wasn’t an easy decision. But it’s you I’ve chosen to receive my numbers to play for the month of April.”
She then spent another three sides of A4 to say how wonderful she was and on a fourth side said it would normally cost £50 “but as you are my friend” reduced the fee to £10.
So after all that research, this specialist in astrology and tarot as well as being a “clairvoyant, numerologist; dowser, mage spirit and author of many books and articles” failed to pick up on the one essential thing her research should surely have shown - my brother would not be alive to open the envelope.
A minor point, possibly, but it does appear to dent the credibility she spent so much time and paper (two more glossies were enclosed) in building up.
