NAPLES, Fla., Nov. 10 (UPI) -- A Florida woman has filed suit in small claims court to recover $13,200 she paid to a fortune teller.

Eumanthe Dufrene, 54, charges Doris Palm & Card Reading advertised a money-back guarantee but failed to return what she paid for "spiritual loans" to combat evil, the Naples (Fla.) Daily News reports.

Tiffany Johnson, co-owner of the business, says Dufrene paid the money for readings after asking that a curse be placed on a man who killed her son.

Johnson says she told Dufrene they don't do that kind of work and suggested she go to Haiti if she wanted a curse.

Dufrene's suit will be decided by a Collier County judge.

The Naples Daily News says published reports indicate only a handful of fortune tellers have been sued by dissatisfied customers.
