Hicksville arrest sent shockwaves to local communities

A Queens man claiming to be an astrologer was taken into custody after allegedly trying to scam a female victim with more than $60,000. The arrest was reported on Thursday in Hicksville, Nassau County after the victim was told to withdraw a large amount of cash alerting bank officials to call the police.

The main company has four different locations in Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island advertising as psychic and astrology services registered to a single proprietor according to NYS Division of Corporations.

The owner and staff operating out the four locations have not responded to the allegations to the public or media.

Nassau County detectives are urging any other potential victims to come forward by calling 516‑573‑6200.

Under New York State law, performing fortune telling services for payment is illegal unless done solely for entertainment or amusement. Accepting money in exchange for telling fortunes, exorcising evil spirits, or providing occult advice is classified as a class B misdemeanor.
