Psychic Scams: The dos and dont’s

There is nothing more maddening than being betrayed, especially in today’s world where con artists are more resourceful than ever. In this article, we’ll talk about Psychic Scams in particular, how they work and how to avoid them.

In most cases, Psychic and clairvoyant scammers will ultimately approach you by post, email, telephone or, in some occasions, face-to-face claiming that you are in some sort of distress and offering a resolution.

Con artists might try to sell you a lucky charm or even suggest the removal of a curse or jinx. The scammer will express their concern by telling you that they will provide assistance in return for a fee. If you refuse, some may threaten to summon a curse or bad luck charm on you. Alternatively, the scammer may advise you of a wrong future occurrence and then promise to guard you from that event in return for constant payments.

Never send any money, credit card or other personal details and never by email. Responding only indicates your interest and you could end up with more potential scam letters and emails in the future. Never call a telephone number that you see in a scam email.

Use credible websites or apps

If the psychic services platform you choose is managed by a known corporation or group, uses high-tech security, has real and easily reachable customer support assistance, and is based in an established lawful country, chances are you will be safe.

How to spot fakes

Once you select a psychic on a trustworthy website, the first step is to start by paying attention to certain details. How much data do they have on their profile? Does it sound honest? Can you tell if they are passionate about what they do? For example, have they taken courses, studied with other spiritualists, or carried out other psychic work? Check if they have a real profile picture – an authentic psychic would not use an avatar as a profile picture.

What intuitive method do they use

Make sure your psychic advisor is clear about the psychic methods they use. You should be able to find this info on their profile. Real committed psychics wouldn’t mind sharing how they get their psychic insights from and how they form their predictions. Many of them actively work to sharpen it via meditation and psychic focus, over many years.

Read Reviews and Ratings

If the psychic is on a reputable website, their ratings and reviews will be uncut and even the bad ones would be accessible for you to see. If you notice overstatements in these reviews, remember they are written by clients, who are most likely feeling a lot of joy or some other sharp emotion, due to a great reading. So, exaggeration and words such as “delightful,” “astonishing,” “unbelievable” are great signs if you spot them in an unedited client review.

The way they speak to you

To understand how psychics trick you, and to avoid any such thing from occurring, you can use a few strategies. Firstly, you can always choose the anonymous chat option so that the psychic does not see you, hear your voice, or have any immediate information about you. They will have to rely on their psychic procedures and intuition if they want to help you. A fraudulent psychic is less likely to pick the chat option because of the total anonymity it provides clients, and because the chat transcripts are saved. If you are face to face with your psychic, one thing you can do to evade being tricked is to wear plain clothing that would not give cues about your socioeconomic status, and not be too chatty. You can mention the real-life situation you are in, but pay attention to who is doing the question asking. Is it you asking your psychic to foresee results, or is your psychic making too many enquiries?

Fake Psychic Mediums Make Shocking Claims

You know you are dealing with an impostor the moment they claim that you were a prodigious historical personality in your past life. It is the oldest psychic trick in the book. They will do a reading and come up with something ridiculous.

Vague Readings That Leave You Wanting More

Psychic frauds will often do an interpretation that leaves you in suspense encouraging you to spend additional money to disclose their conclusions. They might tell you that you are under a curse. But, for an additional fee, they can give you the tools to help you overcome it.

Telling You Exactly What You Want to Hear

If you are going through a hard time in your life or you feel like you are caught in a rut, it is easy to seek comfort in a psychic. You just want to know that things are looking up for you. Psychic scams use this fact as the foundation of their maneuvers. They will tell you that your state is about to change for the better. With the help of online statistics, they are able to make welleducated deductions about your life state to tell you what you want to hear.

Using Scare Tactics

Real psychic readings would never leave you feeling dreadful about the future. Frauds use fright tactics to keep you coming back for more. More often than not, these types of readings only prompt you to unceasingly hand over your preciously earned money to receive this so-called psychic guidance.

Asking Too Many Questions

If you come across a psychic who asks you limitless and interminable queries about you and your life, you should know right away that you are dealing with a fake. Real psychics don’t often need much information to go on. These professionals have a real gift. They have your best interest at heart to help guide you back to your life path.
