"Shamaness" Coaxed Victims into Mega-Sum for Occult Services: Search for Fraudster

A woman, who called herself "Amela" and is probably staying in Vienna, has tricked a 56-year-old woman into giving her a high six-figure sum in three cases between May 21 and June 10, 2024.

Occult Fraud in Baden and Vienna: Police Searching for Perpetrator

The perpetrator approached the woman on a street in Vienna-Döbling, presented herself as a shaman, and deceived the victim with occult/fortune-telling powers. To free herself from curses and to avert an allegedly foreseen death of a family member, the perpetrator demanded cash amounts, which were handed over to the fraudster in Vienna and Baden.

After the publication of a phantom image of the woman, the police received numerous clues. The detectives were able to identify the initially unknown perpetrator. The accused is the 44-year-old Austrian citizen Mariana M., who is being searched for.

Information Requested on Wanted 44-Year-Old

In addition to a wanted photo of the 44-year-old, the police also published various pictures of occult objects that may have been used in the séances, as well as photos of jewellery and coins that may have been extracted from the victims as part of fraudulent actions. All items were seized during house searches in Vienna and Lower Austria.

Information on the whereabouts of the accused, which will be treated confidentially if desired, is requested at the Lower Austria State Criminal Police Office, Fraud Investigation Department, under the telephone number 059133-30-3333. Furthermore, any other victims of the alleged fraudster are asked to contact the investigators of the LKA NÖ.
