She Needed to Supplement her Low Radio Income

Apparently, this Canandien talk show host was not making enough money for her on air gig. So she did a little work on the side for one of her callers. This was reported in the December 12 edition of Radio Ink On-line.

Radio Host Charged With Fraud

Police say a Toronto, Canada, radio host has been arrested after a listener was allegedly defrauded out of $70,000 by someone posing as a psychologist.

Authorities report that the woman hosted a health and wellness show on CHIN and went by the name of Alexis Daniels. At the end of each show, she would give out her telephone number so she could be contacted.

In July 2003, the victim went to the woman's business where she was allegedly told that the psychologist would be able to help her with her depression.

Police say the woman demanded and was paid $70,000 for counseling sessions. Five months into it, she told her patient she was not a licensed psychologist in Canada but was in the process of becoming a citizen and getting her credentials recognized.
