Nina Melrose, Bella Fino, Isabella Serafina, The Psychic Palm

Extortion, Scam Artist, Theif

Dallas, Texas, 75204

Nina Melrose, also known in the psychic world as Bella Fino, or Isabella Serafina from Beverly Hills is a total scam and no one should even consider doing business with her. She really resides in Dallas, Texas on Richmond Avenue operating under the name Nina Melrose and her business name is the Psychic Palm. She also books events through GigMasters under her Bella Fino name. She claims to have this celebrity following with high profile clients and is going on tour soon but for a limited time is here in Texas. Well she is always here but probably has a few more names she operates under that I am not aware. So she gets repeat clients through some of the events. I did go to see her at her home here in Dallas. She claimed that she wanted to work with me as I had all this negativity in my life related to money. She wanted to be paid up front around $600 for her continual service to work on this. I realize, I was not very smart in this encounter but have met with pscyhics in the past that claimed I had this negativity relating to money. So then she said I had to come up with 15k to meditate with to clear this. I said I could not do that then the number decreased to 5k (her way of feeling me out to see how much cash I could access). So then she said she needed to meditate over this and asked me to leave with her for a few days. I did. Then when the money was due back all the sudden she had a death, was out, and needed to deposit it in her personal account for safe keeping from her family. Thus, now playing the sympathy card that her father had passed with a sudden heart attack. Then she states that she had all the personal drafts come through her account that she had to use my money to cover as she was starting a new business. If she could not raise the rest of the money, her 35k would be lost and I would never get my money back. She then began the extortion process of blowing up my phone stating first she needed another 1800. Of course, I declined, then it dropped from 1200 to 900 or I would never get my money returned. I have now done some research and she has pulled this scam many times including one lady that she took 7500 of her money. I think she is still trying to get this amount returned and had to file a lawsuit and charges against her. I have gotten some of my money returned but have to constantly threaten charges to get her to engage. She also claims her husband died then tells others he is an ex! It is always somethings. Regardless, who needs the nightmare of trying to deal with. I can't understand, if she has so many talents, why she is flat broke and stealing? However, are scam artists really ever broke...no just trying to get YOUR MONEY CLAIMING THEY ARE!! Please do not do business with her!!! She is a SCAM ARTIST, EXTORTIONIST AND BAD PERSON!!

I had a similar experience with Nina Melrose, as did another person I was close with at the time. We both went to see her on a Friday night in late 2008, were both going through a trying time and the first visit was great. She told us both things that were accurate and we'd just met her. I thought, wow, a trustworthy psychic. Met her husband while I waited on my friend to finish her reading, then we switched. We went back to her a few weeks later, and had another decent experience. My friend got sucked into her "you have negative financial energy around you and I need $ X thousand dollars of your cash to mediate with" trap. The total was about $17,000 for my friend. A few weeks later, I was having relationship frustrations with the person that she told me was "the one" so I went back. Ignorant at the time about my friend's cash scam with Nina, I did exactly as I was instructed and got the cash and gift cards and took it to her in mid-February. She promised to have it back to me within 7 days. 7 turned into 14 and then her "husband died" - though finding an obituary was impossible. A month went by, she was completely unreachable. Then her kids got taken away to his family in California and she was having to pay for a ton of legal fees and accountants and other expenses ... where was my money? More time went by, I would stop by her house on my way home from work, and several times, she asked me for more money to "meditate" with ... are you kidding me? No.

4 years later, and I've been unsuccessful in getting my money from her. So has my friend, unfortunately.

If anyone has any information or would like to talk about this scam artist - please don't hesitate to contact me via this website.

Nina Melrose took 50,000. dollars from me. My story is the sane as the above stories except a larger sum. If anyone knows where she is please let me know.
