Naples police say they’re looking for a woman who offered witchcraft and spiritual services to victims as a way to get them to hand over massive amounts of cash.

All in all, the woman stole $100,000 from 10 different victims …

Records show the first victim came forward on March 14 saying he saw a flyer at a laundromat that offered a “100% guarantee” when it came to solving problems with a wife or girlfriend.

The victim called the number on the flyer and scheduled an appointment with a woman who called herself “Rosalia” the next day at a suite on 6th Avenue.

… [“Rosalia”] then told the victim to get as much money as possible by withdrawing cash and borrowing from friends and then return with the bills so she could bless his money, “making the money double and possibly triple in quantity,” according to the report.

Officers said the victim returned with $29,500 in cash and asked “Rosalia” to bless it but she said she saw a darkness in the money so she needed to take it to a temple in Fort Myers and would return it to the victim the next day.

When the next day came, “Rosalia” said she wouldn’t be able to make the appointment and would meet with him another time but then stopped replying to the victim’s text messages, records show.
