Many psychics are very legitimate and have good reputations that they have earned honestly and through hard work. But unfortunately there are just as many, if not more, dishonest psychics out there who are just after your money.
Such psychic scams have increased by several manifolds in the past few years. This clearly shows a dearth of psychics around us. The mentality behind psychic scam posing as psychics is that they find psychic readings to be easy money. For many, psychic readings and the authenticity is beyond verifiable. They scam people on grounds of their fears and insecurities. For them, it is a big mind game and they gain when you fear. Such scammers are easily identifiable by their characteristic conversations, where they beat around the bush. When you feel that they are taking you around circles, look for the signs enlisted below.
Signs they are a Scam
One of the most popular psychic scams is when the psychic advises you that they see a curse or darkness surrounding you that they can ‘lift’ or ‘cure’ for a fee. Then on top of that fee, they might also work to convince you to purchase other items from them such as prayer cards or crystals. If buying something is pushed on you or part of the condition to being ‘cured’, walk the other way.
And as with anything that you want to purchase, it is always good common sense just to avoid very pushy and aggressive psychics. If they are legit, there is no reason to bully you into a session or tell you that you really have to purchase their services or more bad things will happen to you. Other psychic scams include psychics that state that their services are ‘free’ but then start adding on additional charges down the line.
If a psychic contacts you first trying to sell their services, forget it. Real psychics are not out there hawking their wares, and if they are really that good and reputable, then usually don’t even need to overtly advertise.
Good psychics are not free and they are not usually cheap. An hour session can run as high as $100 and that fee should be determined up front and remain fixed. If part way through a session, or right before a good part, they stop and ask for more money before they reveal the whole truth, you just got ripped off. No real psychic will leave you wondering or hanging in mid- session.
