My 82 year old mother has been sending at least 200 dollars a month to Maria duval and her false promises and her fear based manipulations.
I believe she gives winning numbers for lotto to many people and that just by chance someone (out of maybe 100, 000 who are under her evil scam) will win a lottery and actually believe it was because of her- and you guessed it... they will feel indebted to her and give a huge portion to her- very crafty indeed!
