Did you know psychics can get scammed too?

Yes, it is sad but true, but no one is safe from being scammed. It happens to everyone at one time or another. Lately there has been much blogging on 'fake' psychics. I have posted quite a few articles on this subject myself. Now, I'm turning the table and I'd like to touch on 'fake' customers. Yes, pychics do get scammed by customers. Did you know that? How is this possible, you ask? Let me tell you. Keep in mind that many of these examples took place many years ago when this subject was taboo and frowned upon by many people. Todays' world is very open to it and accepting of it.

There were times when:

Clients would pay for a session, then they will chargeback (almost immediately) afterwards, having received the answers to the questions they asked.

Clients will post comments, like, asking for free advice because they have been taken advantage of in the past or because they have no money and really need help, and when they get some good hearted psychics to reply and perhaps even give some 'free' suggestions to the client, the client will slander the psychic.

Clients will demand a reading for free. They will cause a ruckus or will use any type of religious belief for having the psychic provide the free reading, and/or they will argue or speak loudly until either the expert relents (if in public), hangs up or blocks them.

Clients will threaten to hurt, wound and slander the advisor/psychic's name on some type of blog or public listing by leaving poor or negative feedback or on some kind of black list unless they receive their answers for free.

Clients will claim in their live chat on the phone or in chat rooms on the internet that they have no money so that they can receive as much information as they can for free. Some advisors will give some tidbits to help or suggestions to follow and that is fine. But please don't take advantage of their generousity and understanding. Heed their words and suggestions and later on come back to thank them not to slander them. Appreciate the time they spent with you out of the goodness of their heart and because they were concerned for your general well being.

They will email and ask for some free minutes and use the connection time to ask 'sample' questions and wait for the advisor to give them an answer, then they will end the session and hang up after receiving it. Yes and no questions can be difficult to answer. There are times when much more info is presented and needs to be incorporated into the answer. I think I've had the above happen to me a time or two which is why I am mentioning it in this blog posting. If it's happened to me, chances are it's happened to other advisors. If not, consider yourself lucky.

Now, keep in mind that the above are only examples of some of those tactics. Thankfully, it's not all that often that this happens, although it is still common enough that it is worth a mention.

For many advisors and psychics, this work is their livelihood, just like any other source of employment, where payment is made for services rendered. In this case, the services are answers to their questions or insight and guidance given. And just like the business for other services in the working community, they certainly do merit some kind of payment. Some examples would be: The electric company won't provide 'free' service and the landlord or the bank certainly won't allow us to stay in the apartment/house for nothing. So why shouldn't the same apply to the advisors? They too, should be paid for their services rendered. There is alot of effort on the pychics part to get the answers that the querent is requesting. Plus, they constantly have to be grounded and balanced in order to get the insight. Please be kind to your advisor and respect them for the job they do. The advisors use their gifts for the good of all and not to mame, hurt or injure. So keep this in mind when dealing with a psychic. If you don't like an answer, don't try to hurt or injure the advisor. Take a step back and really look at yourself honestly. The advisor received the info for the greater good of your well being, not to hurt you. If you want a change, start with yourself.

Brightest blessings!
