Yes, and I want you to know that I'm a believer...a big one. Stay away from internet psychics/astrologers. Don't buy any talismans/amulets. Those aren't tools of either psychics or astrologers. They are just trying to take your money. If you want a real psychic, I'll refer you. Go to this link: http://www.allisondubois.com/friends.html These psychics (and others) are reputable. They are the kinds of people called in to work with the police. Best of luck to you.

You are being scammed. Do not give this woman your money.
"Psychics" are good at getting you to reveal information without you realizing that you're doing it. They get a small piece of information and use that to make other guesses based on societal norms. You know, like everyone has a long lost love, everyone has had a bad relationship, everyone has done things they wish they hadn't, etc.
Have someone you know talk to this psychic in your presence, but don't let them embellish on any of their answers. Simple "yes" and "no" and other one-word replies should be used whenever possible.
I'll bet the psychic doesn't get any read on your friend.

Psychics and astrologers etc give vague enough predictions to be able to be interpreted in a variety of ways, which is how they can appear correct.
They also frequently like to encourage business by using the debunked claim that "we only use 10% of our brain, think about what would happen if we used the other 90%".
Don't waste your money.

Much of what I say isn't wrong either and I don't even wear an amulet.
Consider asking your psychic to pick the winning lotto numbers. He or she will probably refuse on the grounds that selfish abuse of the power will create "karmic debt". If that happens ask him or her to give the winnings to a worthy charity.

Psychics = scams
ESP = Scam
Ghosts, UFO's, Angels, Therapeutic Touch, Easter Bunny = all scams
The list is endless.
Oddly enough believers come in all shapes, sizes, and socioeconomic status and education - it's sad, really - the real world is amazing enough without having to deal with "psychics".

many do yes
especially those that promise free this and that with special protection ... then you get email weeks later saying you owe them money
and they are very clever at it ... the people arent just gullible , these people are scam ARTISTS , which means they are professional at what they do
many people say that a good psychic should not charge... but many people give up their jobs to do this work full time , and all power to them
but these are the honest ones who say ok a reading will cost you this for half hour etc ... nothing hidden , no scam, no special toys to make you feel good ... just pay and be read

Don't waste your money.
When they say things that are correct, they are usually generalizations. Or they base what they're saying on things you've said or how you react to what they say. Example: one of these people was in a large group and said "someone here knows someone named Tom who has a problem". A woman stood up and said "my friend Tom needs heart surgery". GUESS WHAT? We all know someone named Tom. There's bound to be someone there who knows a Tom who's having a problem.
Don't let them have your hard-earned money for nothing.

there are so many scammers out there you really need to be careful. I think u will find that if u send the same "short reading" to your friends they will find simularities in their lives as well.
If she has been trying to sell u amulets for a year, its a scam, is her name sarah freeder by any chance.lol
Anyway, if u would like a genuin FREE reading check out my site.

Just because it isn't wrong, doesn't make her right. It's easy to say, for example, "I'm sensing somebody by the name of John, or Sean, and a Michael" to somebody who is obviously Irish-Catholic.
