How To Spot A Psychic Con Artist
From time-to-time someone contacts me to say that they've been scared half to death by a psychic reading or what someone supposed to be psychic has said to them. The reading usually involves suggestions of serious accidents to loved ones, illness, loss of money, etc.
Recently, one lady contacted me saying that she'd paid a lot of money to have a clairvoyant reading with someone very well known who told her that she'd been cursed and the psychic could help her – for, yes, you guessed right, a big fat fee! Many others have also been deeply upset as a result of being targeted by email by fake psychics.
Psychic reading scams
It’s so easy to believe that everyone who does psychic readings is a good person with a high standard of ethics, but this isn’t necessarily the case. Sadly, there are a few people out there without any real psychic ability pretending to give psychic readings. They are often very good at talking and can be very convincing to the vulnerable and lonely. And these are the type who are likely to con people into giving them large amount of money. There are also internet fraudsters who pretend to run services offering psychic readings who operate along similar lines. The intial first contact promises that the psychic can help you experience good luck. If you don't respond - the emails turn sinister ...suggesting bad luck for the receiver of the email, and, yes, it can only be stopped by buying the psychic service on offer. Which, of course, costs a great deal of money.
Curses and bad luck
The way psychic scammers usually try to get money out of people is by telling them that they have been cursed, or that something bad is going to happen in their future, but that they, the psychic reader, can help them. They can offer to lift curses or bad spells. What usually happens is that they will ask for a sum of money for doing this, and then like blackmailers when that is paid, they keep coming back for more.
You are in charge of your life!
It cannot be emphasised enough that if someone asks you for money to lift a curse or to change your luck, you should walk away because you’ve just met a scammer. You are in charge of your destiny and have more power than you realise. A responsible and ethical psychic reader will help you connect with the power that you already have and create the life you want without scaring you or asking for lots of money.
Bad luck - no such thing!
All of us have our share of ups and downs in life, but instead of seeing things as bad luck if you don’t get what you want, trust the universe has something better in store for you! Throughout everyone's lives, there will be jobs that you don't get and love relationships that didn’t work out. Have no faith whatsoever in the idea of bad luck and you will notice instantly that your life improves.
No such thing as curses
A so called 'curse' only has power if you believe in it and you are scared. It’s that feeling of being scared that you have been cursed that can then lead you to make the wrong choices that in turn can lead to things seeming to happen because of bad luck. It isn’t the curse. The only power someone can have over you is the power you give them. Refuse to give them power, and they are powerless!
