I Never Trust Fortune Tellers Because They Never Tell Me Anything Good

Oh my goodness some people are this stupid:

For someone who’s supposed to be able to tell the future, Angelina Williams apparently never saw the cops coming.

The 22-year-old Queens fortune teller was busted Thursday on a charge of grand larceny — and then the detectives at the 114th Precinct socked her husband with a bribery rap, saying he tried to pay them to spring her.

Williams scammed a 28-year-old Astoria resident out of $11,000, police sources told The Post last night.

The woman wised up, but her awakening came only after she had handed over her life savings, the sources said.

The shady seer allegedly told her mark this month that supernatural forces had identified “a negative force in her stomach” and that the only way to get rid of it would be for her to give the fortune teller $11,000.

On the woman’s final visit, Williams explained that “the money — the root of all evil — would absorb all the evil energy” and added that she “was more than happy to get rid of it for her,” a police source said.

But after giving Williams payments of $2,500 and $8,500, the woman started thinking that — just maybe — she was being conned. So she finally called the police.

And when we say stupid, that also applies to people who try to bribe police officers:

Detectives arrested Williams in her second-floor Astoria apartment Thursday afternoon, and, while in custody, she called her husband, David Miller, also 22.

Miller allegedly arrived at the precinct late that night and proceeded to offer $600 to have his wife released on the spot.

The detectives played along just long enough to get the alleged bribe attempt on tape — then locked him up, too.
