This article delves into the telltale signs of a psychic swindle, backed by real-life examples and statistics.

I received a distressing call from a young woman who had been consulting a psychic for several years. She suspected her boyfriend of cheating and sought the psychic's help. The psychic demanded $300 to cast a spell to bring her boyfriend back. When the spell failed, the psychic asked for an additional $600. Troubled by this, the woman reached out to me for advice.
I strongly advised her against giving any more money to the charlatan. Any psychic who demands more money than the session fee is likely a scammer. "We all have free will," I explained. "If your boyfriend chooses a different path, no spell can force him to act against his will."
Amber believed she was cursed and sought help from a psychic who charged her $1,500 to remove it. Despite multiple visits, Amber still felt plagued by bad luck. I told her, "There's no such thing as a curse. Your belief in the curse is what's causing your distress. Take back your power by rejecting negative thoughts."
Another client was told by a psychic that he needed to buy three "special" candles at $62 each to lift a curse. If the curse didn't go away, he would need more candles. This is a classic example of a scam designed to extract as much money as possible from the victim.
A woman asked me about Madame X, a psychic she found online. Madame X claimed the woman needed five sessions in one week to resolve her issues. This is another red flag. Psychics are not psychiatrists and cannot solve deep-seated emotional problems.
Here are some signs that you're dealing with a fraudulent psychic:
Psychic scams can be emotionally and financially draining. Always be cautious and look for the red flags mentioned above. Remember, no one has the power to control your fate but you. If you suspect you're being scammed, seek advice from trusted friends or professionals.
By staying informed and vigilant, you can protect yourself from falling victim to psychic scams.
Sometimes, I Blush
Sometimes, I can’t believe the words that tumble out of my mouth. It happens when I connect with a spirit that’s for one of my clients... “Did your father curse a lot?” I’ll ask, and get a nodding head in reply. But when off-colour remarks pop out when I’m serving at a Spiritualist church...
No Regret
When my clients’ spirit people come through, they often speak of regrets. When that happens, I remember reading an article written by a palliative nurse: “The Top Five Regrets People Make on Their Deathbed.”

A few days before he died, Jack told Sandra, “After I go, I’d like you to get in touch with me. But give it some time.” Several months later, contact was made. Sandra and Jack had been best friends since elementary school. They kept in touch by telephone, through greeting cards and, later, email.
