Peaches Marks, a California woman who claimed to be a college professor and spiritual healer, was arrested on March 27 in Anaheim after a former client told police that Marks had stolen over $450,000 from her over the course of two years. Marks allegedly took the victim's money in exchange for some gold talismans, and promised to return the money when the healing process was complete. When the victim ran out of funds and began asking for her money back, Marks was nowhere to be found. She was arrested and charged with grand theft and identity theft, allegedly using the victim's personal information to steal from her.
