about humans' ongoing battle against evil spirits.
Coach and her star 'payer'.
Işıl Avşar, who works in the human resources field in Beykoz, Istanbul,
filed suit against 'life coach' Sevgin Mükerrem Ergüneş, realtor Hatice
Defne Balcı and 'social media phenomenon' Irmak Avşar (evidently no
relation) for bilking her out of 625,650 TL (about $75,000). The charge
against the suspects is "fraud based on exploitation of religious beliefs".
They face 15-year prison terms if convicted. The case's first hearing
took place in court the day before yesterday.
In her own defense, Ergüneş explained that "I'm a grade-school
graduate, a 'life coach'. My monthly income is 40,000 TL (about $5,000).
Işıl wanted me to have her fortune read. I myself read fortunes for small
fees. Işıl was having problems with her boyfriend so I gave her some
therapy. She thanked me and even sent me flowers. It is true that, all told,
I got 625,000 TL from her. Işıl sent the money to Hatice's account. I
didn't bilk anyone."
As for Hatice Defne Balcı, she claimed to have no involvement in the
matter whatsoever: "Sevgin hanım wanted me to arrange for a bank card
for her. She was having problems with her ex-husband. I arranged for
the card and gave it to her, including the cipher. I derived no benefit at
all."
Işıl Avşar stated that she had seen Ergüneş on 'social media phenomenon'
Irmak Avşar's social media account. "She looked at my star chart for 250
TL and saw that my boyfriend would call me. He did call me so I came
to believe in her. Subsequently, Ergüneş began to call me, saying that
there was a 'hoca' (soothsayer) in Adıyaman who she could have read my
fortune. She also said that I had an evil spell on me and that she gave
money to the 'hoca' to break the evil spell.
Takin' care of business and workin' overtime!
