In January 2023, I paid Travis her service fee of $900 to cleanse and confirmed with her through the phone that this was the only payment for this service – no hidden costs. Travis confirmed that it was. However, as the “work” continued Travis said I had a “karmic debt” to pay due to a “wrongdoing” I did in my past life. I would need to accumulate nearly $275K debt in my current life to get rid of the “karmic energy”. She then asked me about my financial situation and how much my credit card and student loan debts totaled. She said it was not enough and I had to accumulate more as I had three negative energy blocks in my life: relationships, career, and family. Travis claimed that if I did not get rid of these blockages I would continue to “suffer” in this lifetime and in the next lifetime.
Concerned about the amount, the initial agreement of now additional fees, and how I would not be able to afford that, Travis offered repay the items bought for the work. Skeptical, I asked how she is generous and was able to dispose of money like that. Travis told me a narrative about how her grandfather owned a small, successful tobacco business and when he passed away, she inherited his wealth because he believed that she would “change the world and help people.”
January – March 2023
The first set of charges were for expensive rentals for AirBnBs and hotel rooms. I asked why it had to be expensive rooms and she claimed that the more expensive and nicer the room is, the better it is for the “energy to move around.” Travis said she would pay the American Express card charges for these items. She obtained my American Express card information at this time.
The second set of charges were luxury items such as Gucci men’s shoes and Dior shirts, for the “image work” to help bring love back into my life. She said she would need to do a ritual and place these items in her “altar” for the “angels” to work on it. Travis said she would pay the American Express card charges for these items – purchases were bought online.
The third set of charges, Travis said I would need to take out a personal loan and purchase a car (2023 Chevy Corvette) as the amounts were large enough to get rid of most of the “karmic debt”/”negative energy”. I was EXTREMELY against this idea. However, Travis persisted and called the GM dealerships to find a car and impersonated me saying it was a gift for my parents. She insisted I take out the $38K loan and impersonated me to ensure I would get approve because the amount would help with the “work”. Travis again claimed that if I reported these purchases I would risk my life and my family’s due to the “negative energy”.
Travis was able to secure a Corvette at Findlay Chevrolet in Las Vegas, NV. For financial verifications, she insisted I had to go through with it because of how “dangerous” the energy was and she gave me a script to say. GM Finance approved the application. $28K of the $38K personal loan was sent to GM Finance while $10K Travis used my card for her down payment for her home rental 9065 W Parkland Bay Trail (she had an old photo of my debit card which she promised to delete at the time but didn’t).
While waiting for the car paperwork, Travis said she received the car loan contract on her end to sign, and mine was the only one pending. Travis flew to New York City on March 2, 2023 to ensure I signed the contract because I still didn’t want to move forward with it. She continued to remind me that my life and my family was in danger. She agreed to be liable for the car, insurance, and registration. The next day, Travis left back to Florida. The car was delivered around March 30, 2023.
The fourth set of charges, I was unaware of. Travis attempted to open various credit lines under my name which triggered hard inquiries. Ultimately, she opened two credit lines under my name: City Furniture and Wayfair making significant purchases. Additionally, she used my American Express to make unauthorized purchases and pay off other bills without my knowledge. I had no visibility of the charges till late 2023 when I received a delinquency on my credit report and started to scrutinize the charges. When confronted and said I would file for fraud she said I would be causing more harm to myself and everyone around me if I reversed her work. She sent payments shortly after.
April – August 2023
I checked in with Travis everyday asking for a status update (e.g., how close we are to completing the work and how soon we can return the car). It started to become difficult to get a hold of Travis and she always claimed to have issues with sending payments through (CashApp, Apple Pay, Zelle) or she’s waiting for “funds from her retirement accounts/investments to come through”. She was always in “isolation waiting for messages from the angels”.
The work went on and she continued to say that we needed more items for the altar and she couldn’t do payments because it would “feed the energy”. This time, Travis requested I buy several thousands of gold coins to “improve my energy” and she used my American Express card without my knowledge to purchase Van Cleef bracelets.
By July 2023, Travis messaged me saying I needed to give $10K to the work altar and that would be the last set of purchases for the work since she needed to get rid of less than 10% of the energy. I couldn’t reply to her message right away since I was traveling. Ultimately, she purchased $10K worth of unauthorized merchandise using the AmEx at the House of Bijan (mostly items for her husband).
September 2023 – present
Since September 2023, I have not been able to speak to Travis on the phone or receive any update/service in return of all the purchases. She constantly has made excuses saying she’s in “isolation”.
In January-February 2024, I received a call from GM Financial regarding the 2023 Corvette that it was towed by Alpine Towing and has been sitting in the tow yard for nearly two weeks. Travis claimed that the car was evil and she moved the car to her son’s home but didn’t know it was towed. I have asked her to pick up the car and eventually she claims that we had to let go of the car because of how evil it was – “the negative energy”. I argued with her how I wanted to end the work and I would take care of the car but she refused and said I was “ruining my life”. Ultimately the car was repossessed.
In February 2024, I received a notice from a debt collector regarding an unpaid bill of $1765.74 for an electric bill between February – August 2023. I was unaware of this account being opened under my name. Travis admitted it was her and that she would “take care of it”.
On March 3, 2024, I decided to investigate Travis’ background. I found another victim in the UK who left a Yelp review claiming she didn’t hear from Travis for three months. We ultimately connected and realized what she did. I discovered that Travis’ real name was not Jolene Travis but rather Bridgette Doreen Evans (aka Bridgette Marks) – a well-known psychic fraudster and scammer who stole from multiple individuals over the years and was arrested by the FBI in 2011. Several news articles and mugshots were posted online. I confronted Travis but she insisted it was “fake news”.
All purchases were sent to her Florida home or Florida hotel that she was staying in. I have NEVER stepped foot in Florida, nor have I seen the car or home address she resides in.
