Stop Psychic Scams

03/26/2023

Hello All! Time for a scammer update. Tiktok and Facebook are prime locations for scammers to approach you in your messenger to offer FREE or low cost readings. Unsolicited. Almost ALL of them are ready to take your money for a generic reading that predicts gloom and doom and dark clouds unless you pay for more services. Reputable readers don't work that way. We don't cold call our services, it's always the one charge, and it's never added services like candles you don't get to see or rituals that are silly.

YES!! It's been a while since posting.
Something new to watch for; Tiktok followers that contact you to read you.
A person will follow your account then message you saying

"I read your name 🤩and felt a strong connection ❤️ and think you might need a reading ⭕️?Can I consider you a private reading now love 💕🪧 What’s your Zodiac sign love?"

Once there is one of these they will multiply like rabbits.
I've been contacted 3 times and within days there were about 20 other followers with the same schtick.

They will also create a bunch of profiles to keep hounding you.

Tiktok is working on allowing new features regarding followers, but at this point you just have to monitor it. Or have some fun with it and waste their time :P

Either way, if you buy into it, beware.

Remember, anyone who wants to get paid for something before the service is not a good idea, whether it's a reading online or a haircut. $10 readings are nearly always a scam to get you to buy more time.

Have fun and be smart!

With the new year right around the corner people are looking for guidance into the new year.
If you decide to consult a psychic /intuitive /spiritual coach etc. remember to be vigilant about the scamming possibilities first!

-My clients are protected by using PayPal or venmo, or by card.
---Scammers tend to ask for strange payment methods or straight cash.

I've noticed recently lots of by the minute reader services. Be especially careful with something like that! When I'm reading we lose track of time in the information, and mine is actual specific information.
By the minute places ask for a card up front, they place a test hold on it, then will often read from an actual script to find ways to delay your time adding minutes!
A reader friend of mine worked for a service briefly and thus was the scripting she was asked to follow, and offered bonuses for keeping people on the line for 30/60/+ minutes.

Contact the reader and ask about their process, specialty or anything that let's you know they are a good fit.

A reputable reader will answer those questions pretty fast.

My new info is going up on my website Jan 1-4, with updated pricing and information. If you want to catch the last of 2020 and get questions answered for the new year the current pricing expires on Jan 1. Times are still available at the moment!

Recently I had a strange experience with paypal. I sent a payment to a woman for some stones (of course) and she didn't receive it. 25 pounds of white granite slabs... So I had to do some sleuthing to figure it out.
I had cut and pasted her email directly into the paypal send page.

Turned out the payment went to someone I didn't know. This was puzzling because the cut /paste worked the second time just fine.

After investigating the original I found a phone number and called to see if they could reverse the payment to me.

Turned out it was a past client (whose email was nothing close to the original payment, so still puzzled over that.)
The phone number was a landline, which hardly every rang for them.

When we finally established I was a real caller and explained the paypal thing she finally recognized me. She was a past client who had been thinking of calling that day.

We did talk for about an hour since I called her, I just answered a few questions for her, no charge.

If for some reason you get a call from a reader be careful you don't disclose any payment information unless you've actually hired them to read.

You don't have to pay someone for time if you never agreed to that before you had a conversation.

These days people are desperate for income ; also for direction. It's a perfect recipe for a scammer to cold call you and scare you into unnecessary spending.

Stay safe!

Happy Solstice!
The recent events everywhere has everything feeling like it used to when hit by a wave in the ocean; upside down can't find the right way up.... Or is it just me? (can't imagine it is.)

Stay safe, trust your instincts, speak your truths, engage in conversation not aggression...

Recently I learned about a part of the Amygdala (Basic Lizard Brain) that is able to trigger you when your instinct kicks in. It manifests in a physical reaction.... In your gut.

Trust that thing. If something feels weird, listen to that.
If something sounds off, research it... When someone says 1+1= 9 you know something is not right, check 3 places to find the truth.

It doesn't mean you have to go out and shout your truth everywhere, sitting in it silently is fine. When someone tries to push their beliefs on you it's ok to just remove yourself from the situation. No one can argue with you if you go somewhere else.

This is a very simplified version of some very complicated situations. Rule of thumb, be a competent human. HUMAN.
Assume someone is good until they prove YOU otherwise.

One person acting unfamiiar is just a person acting their way.
Two people acting unfamiliar is intriguing.
Three or more can become a powerful movement.

Please be careful in these unsure times when looking for help or assurance.

So many healers have discounted services due to the economic crisis... My short readings are $25, and many others have similar prices right now.

Always be aware of anyone who
-makes you feel uncomfortable
-requires unusual payments
-suggests repeat meetings
-talks about dark auras or curses
-offers to light candles or do prayers, etc for a fee.

Stay safe please!
