On 6/27/22 at around 9:38pm Patricia Miller approached me at Treasure Island by the guest elevators to offer a psychic reading. She stated her business is Patricia South Beach Psychic and gave phone number 725-529-1723. Stated she's licensed in 5 states. She then stated we should go somewhere quiet to conduct the reading. We then went outside by the valet podium where I agreed to a $500 reading. She stated that was enough for her services and that she would need to collect some materials to finish her work. We agree to meet the next morning at 10 AM to finish. She then stated that all I need to do was provide her a tip. The next morning she then contacted me on phone number 702-860-7663 (Jack Miller's number) to let me know she had arrived. I met her around 10:15 AM by the valet podium. She then informed me we needed to perform a ceremony to complete the service. If I could get a room to perfom the ceremony and to not worry that all the money I was going to use would be given back to me. That since I was such a good person she was going to do her work pro-bono. She stated she was going to give me half back of the 500 and that all I needed to do was give her a tip. I then rented the room (room 33053). She then informed me it was a money ritual I needed to perfom. And that we needed to collect money from my account and all the cash that I had on me. She kept assuring me not to worry none of that money was going to be used for anything. That all I would need to do is to put the money in an envelope, in my right shoe and in my left shoe. Place gift cards and money on the bed. That once the ceremony was done I'd have all that money back. We then collected my money from atms. During the collecting of items, she even accompanied me to meet with Detective Casper of the Metro police department at a pawn shop to collect a stolen watch I needed to recover. We then finished collecting the last of the materials needed at Walgreens. We returned to Treasure island to finish her service. Once in the room she kept pushing for me to get more money out and that's when I started to become uncomfortable and started to suspect it was a scam. I told her I was becoming uncomfortable. She then stated she just needed to run downstairs to get eggs to finish and that she'd be right back. She stole all the money from the room totaling $3800 and never returned. When I reached back out to her on the last number (Jack's number) she contacted me on this person stated "he didn't know who she is" but gave Patricias description stating "this lady just borrowed my phone and I haven't seen her since." I then let the person on that number know that they would be an accomplice to a felony grand theft charge because I already filed a report with the casino about the theft; Report # is 221054; Treasure Island has her recorded on camera and that I was going to file a police report. That's when Patricia contacted me on this phone number 702-717-6002 and also on Jack's phone. Jack admitted that it was his phone on a text message after denying he didn't know her. She's given me a run around, multiple lies and is refusing to return the stolen money. Texting me Jack Miller's cashapp link saying that I need to send $700 more and then she'd return the stolen money. All the while saying she needs to perform more work, charge me an hourly rate, etc. I keep refusing anymore service from her and that's when she's threatening to sue me using Michael Becker as her lawyer. I contacted Michael Becker and she is not a client of his. She stated she was performing shows at Bellagio and listed some other casinos. I contacted Bellagio and no one knows her there and she isn't performing shows there. In total her scam/fraud/theft has cost me $3906.40 not including the $500 that was given for the reading. Or the cost of the uber to finish getting her supplies of $11.05. All three phone numbers are working together in the scam. I have text messages as evidence, hotel room receipt, ATM receipts, Treasure Island has video surveillance and my report. Detective Casper witnessed her with me and she is on camera at the pawn shop.
