How to spot a fake psychic
Legal LawAs a psychic medium who is proud of her work, I am disgusted and angry whenever I hear of false clairvoyants whose only goal is to deceive people out of their money or, worse yet, their sense of power. I hope you never fall prey to a web spun by a devious intuitive. And to make sure you don’t, here’s how to spot a scammer psychic.
1. The scammer says that you are cursed, and only he can remove this curse.
There is no such thing as a curse. No one can put the evil eye on you unless you believe it. And when you believe that someone has the power to make bad things happen to you, your belief system turns your fears into reality. As Eleanor Roosevelt said, “No one can make you feel bad without your permission.”
2. The scammer wants a ridiculous amount of money for a session.
Many psychics base their fees on their notoriety. Expect to pay several hundred dollars to The Long Island Medium or John Edward for a session. Don’t pay that kind of money to some unknown psychic with a neon crystal ball in the shop window.
3. The scammer says that he needs more sessions with him to solve his problem.
Fake mystics often offer a free first reading or charge just $20 to lure you in. But then they will tell you that you are cursed and that you must come back again and again at $100 each.
4. The scammer says that you should give him your money “to clean up.”
don’t laugh I’ve heard stories of doctors and lawyers handing over tens of thousands of dollars because they were told their money was cursed and unclean. And once that happened, your money was gone with the wind.
5. The scammer says you need to buy his “mystical trinkets.”
I have given readings and suggested to clients that they might want to carry a certain stone on their person to help ground them. I have also suggested books for clients to read, such as You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. But there’s a world of difference between a $5 stone (I don’t have anything for sale in my office) or a book that you might as well check out from a library, and the $150 candles sold by scammers that, after burning, “go out.” will remove”. negative energy.” Trust me, you feel very positive after burning a $2.50 vanilla-scented votive available almost anywhere.
6. The scammer tells you that you have no power.
You are the most powerful person you know. Because? Because you have the strength to say “No!” Never give your power away to anyone, especially someone posing as a psychic.
A psychic is supposed to give you advice, not give you a luck spell to fix your life or make pessimistic pronouncements. People who want their problems magically fixed are in danger of becoming victims, because they give away their hope and power. Trust me, working to improve your life is just that: work. Lucky Charms should only be for breakfast.
