The state Attorney General's Office received a copy of Miss Cleo's birth certificate, showing that she was born Youree Dell Harris on Aug. 13, 1962, in Los Angeles County Hospital. Her parents are from Texas and California. State authorities have sued Harris, spokeswoman for Access Resource Services Inc. and Psychic Readers Network, challenging her to prove she really is a renowned shaman from Jamaica. Harris appears on national television commercials promising insights into love, money and other personal matters. ''We sought this document because the company has gone to great lengths to say that Miss Cleo is a master shaman from Jamaica,'' said David Aronberg, an assistant attorney general. ``This would contradict the whole validity of whom Miss Cleo is.'' Harris' attorney, William Cone Jr. of Fort Lauderdale, said he didn't want to get into a debate about the document. Cone said Harris should not be party to the state lawsuit. As a contractor of Access Resource Services, she should not have to defend herself, Cone said. The attorney general and Federal Trade Commission have sued the Fort Lauderdale companies for fraud, alleging the service misrepresented costs, billed for services never purchased, harassed consumers with unwanted telemarketing calls and responded to consumer complaints with abusive, threatening language. The agency's director of consumer protection, Howard Beales, said the FTC acted after getting more than 2,000 complaints. � 2001 miamiherald and wire service sources.
