Have you ever been ripped off by a psychic? It’s not fun, right? To be totally honest with you…..I never really have! But since we’ve added more posts about psychic readings and the pros and cons of outsourcing your psychic needs…..well, we’ve gotten some email about people who most certainly have. Want to know the truth? I’ve had lots of great psychic readings.
And a few that were simply "so-so". And a few that have been MIND BLOWING great. And a few that have been not even close! But I’ve never felt "ripped off" per se…..or scammed, or taken advantage of. Even the very worst psychic readings I’ve gotten have been the byproduct of very nice people who simply did NOT have much of a "gift".
But they meant well – and were not trying to take advantage. (and for the most part, those were typically the readings I didn’t expect much from to begin with) Some people HAVE though, been ripped off, or taken for big money. Watch out – and buyer beware…especially when you see someone in person. (rather than calling or chatting online which I tend to believe is much safer)
Look for some of these warning signs below…and if you sense this is happening, simply go the other way quickly!
Hexes and Healings are NOT a Good Sign: If your psychic starts talking about any of these things, there is a better shot than not that they are taking you for a ride and are NOT the real deal.A Fee Scale That Changes In the Middle of the CallThis happens often with those bait and switch "free" psychic offers. As we’ve pointed out in the past, simply stay away from these style promotions, as they are never good for clients and customers. Instead, they are simply put out there like a "trap" to lure you in, and then they make big promises to solve your problems for additional fees.An Inflexible ReaderSure, many psychics are passionate, and truly believe that what they see is right, EVEN if you don’t. But a psychic who shows NO flexibility in this regard is usually not the real deal. All information is interpreted. All good psychics know that they "filter" what they get through the prism of their own perspective…and an insistence on ALWAYS being right is more of a personality defect than a sign of accuracy, ability or even authenticity. (unless of course….it’s a health or safety issue only, and they are trying to make sure you take care of something important)
