All You Need To Know About Avoiding Fake Psychics and Scams

Whenever you feel lost and vulnerable, there will always be two types of people who come to your aid. One kind will be genuine and altruistic; the other will be out for personal gain.

Why does this happen?

Sometimes we all need to learn karmic lessons, and falling into someone's sights and becoming a target is a painful lesson we all know at some point in our lives. But, just because someone has decided to target you for their fraud scheme doesn't mean you have to play their game. Being aware will help you not become a victim of suspicious intentions.

Setting clear boundaries and sticking to them is one way to scare off people with ill intentions, regardless of who they are and why they target you. When you are lost and confused, you can become vulnerable, so it is good news to be mindful of what you need to get you some clarity and back on your life path. 

What is a Fake Psychic And How Do They Scam You? 

A fake psychic is someone who genuinely doesn't believe in psychic abilities or in healing their clients. They see it as a way to con you out of money for their own personal gain. You can generally tell honest psychic services from fake psychic services by their attitude and demeanor. Still, we have included some details on a few red flags to be on the lookout to protect yourself from scams and why these suspicious behaviors are red flags.

Red Flag #1

Aggressive.

If the psychic you are speaking with is very aggressive in their tone and attitude, they may be trying to scam you. This is an abuser's technique to force you not to question the reality you are experiencing with them. If they go too fast and say things that make you feel uncomfortable or bad about yourself, then hang up immediately. They aren't serving your best interest and are trying to create a dynamic where you feel dependent on them and their spiritual scams.

However, don't confuse aggressive with blunt and direct. Psychics who have a style of reading that is forward and to the point are probably the most likely to serve your best interest as they want to be as truthful as possible and not just tell you a story. TheThe way to tell the difference between these two styles is the con artist will make you feel cheated, whereas the blunt and direct psychic might make you sad or angry.

Red Flag #2

Dig for personal information.

Psychics that don't have your personal best interest at heart will dig for details and information from you. To be clear, this isn't where they are trying to clarify and gain a better understanding. It's where they ask for too much personal information such as your social security number, your address, even your credit card information, access to bank accounts, or want to send emails to you. Please don't give them your email address.

Anyone asking you for that kind of personal information is looking for deeper access to your identity. If this happens, end that conversation immediately before telling them anything. If the psychic works for a network, let the network know just in case they don't. Any legitimate network will review these claims by listening back to the call and take appropriate action immediately right away.

Sometimes psychics will ask you to confirm or validate to make sure they are on the right path to answer your questions. When they work with you, they receive information from your guides and their own, and it can be an overwhelming amount of information to sift through.

Red Flag #3

Selling you services, you don't need for $$

In the midst of your reading, a psychic tells you that you need to do a series of healing sessions and purchase expensive candles from them. Take heed. Most of the time, this is a way to stretch out your readings without a legitimate reason. Many psychics offer healing services, but be mindful that they are not exploiting your time and pocketbook.

An easy way to tell is to ask them how you might seek healing on your own. They should be able to tell you this information freely without making you depend on them exclusively. If they can't, that's a red flag.

Red Flag #4

Making grandiose promises or claims

If the psychic you are working with makes big promises of immediately healing or manifestation by working with them and it makes you uncomfortable, then it should. Psychics should never make grand claims about their abilities and about how their future will unfold. It should always come from a place of humility and unconditional love. When you experience the reading and leave it, you should feel some sense of clarity even if you aren't happy with the information shared with you.

Some psychics will want to keep people on the phone, and they will do this by making everything more intense, grander. If you feel like you are having your strings pulled like it's an addictive quality to the reading itself, it is probably a toxic connection. The psychic may not be out to scam you or hurt your family but is most likely not being entirely authentic with you. Be cautious of these kinds of psychics as well, as they may get your hopes up too high, and you may suffer from the crash of things not working out to your benefit.

​How to Avoid Scammers & Find Signs of Reputable Businesses 

  • Pick legitimate psychic phone networks. Legitimate networks will have Better Business Bureau accreditation and a few years of industry experience behind them. They will have good reviews and ratings online and will work with you to resolve issues.
  • Do the research. If you go through each psychic network's website, you should be able to compare every aspect of the online network to make sure you're working with a solid psychic service site. Complete a Google search online by looking for past reviews. Read what a client says about the psychic or the website.
  • Ask customer service. Make sure the site you want to work with has live customer service so you may call and inquire about the psychics on the site. Often, they will help clarify your questions and recommend psychics who are the perfect match for your query, which will save you time and money.
  • How do they accept payments? This can be an unexpected red flag. Most legitimate psychics will accept all major credit cards online. Still, if they offer options in cryptocurrency or a way to give you your bank account number to "transfer" funds from anywhere in the world, it may be a good idea to stay away or else suffer some consequences.
  • Look for a satisfaction guarantee. Any site that offers a satisfaction guarantee cares about its customers. If the guarantee is hidden or nonexistent, be leary of their psychic services and the psychics who work with them.

Conclusion

Not all psychic networks are the same, but if you do your research and review them, you will find real psychics who can give you spiritual guidance and psychic insights. The best way to avoid being scammed is to make sure when you are working with psychics that you are aware of where you are in life, even if you are vulnerable. Acceptance and self-awareness are vital in preventing being taken advantage of by others.
