Junk mail psychic busted

AG Nixon last week shut down a self-proclaimed psychic who solicits seniors and other consumers by mail. According to our lawsuit, Debra Grubbs of Las Vegas offered a "spiritual reading" and other services for $21.95.

We found out about her through Senior Sting 2006, a crackdown where we recruited 300 seniors from across the state to keep their junk mail for the month of May. They sent 8,000 pieces of mail to us. We found all the usual suspects in there - bogus lotteries, Nigerian letters, magazine offers, charity solicitations, etc. But even we were surprised by the number of "supernatural" offers, let's call them. Psychics, numerologists, fortune tellers, etc.
