Is my Physic a Fake? Am I getting Scammed?

Question

I went to see a physic about a week ago. She gave me a tarot reading ($75) that was pretty good but after ward she told me that I needed to do this "special" 24 hour meditation Cost of this meditation? $300. She said that it needed to be on an item that I had had for atleast 1 year, so I gave her my tennis bracelet. I had no probelm with that but after the 24 hrs was up all she did was repeat waht she had said during my earlier tarot reading. She then asked me to come back to see her in 2 days becasue she was still getting vibes from my bracelet. She asked how I had gotten that braclete because the energy was very dark..... Now u must know that this is a diamond bracelet with 32 handset stones... beautiful! ....She goes on to tell me that she needs to take my bracelet and "destroy" it to release the negative energy. At this point I tell her that it is really expensive costume jewelry and that I don't care.... Now she is telling me that I need to give her $2900 to do something else.

I got my bracelet back today... She said that she "blessed" it and that it was ok now.

The $2900 is for what a special thing to get positive energy to come to me and to help me get rid of what I think is a Generational Curse thatI have upon my family.

I would really like to find a person that is real and has my best interest at heart.

Answer 1

I'm a decently developed empath who does energy work with other people. People like this woman give us all a bad name. I can't think of anything that I would feel a need to charge $300 for let along $2900, PLUS destroying an item of yours. That last part, particularly reeks to me that her version of 'destroy' would probably be to put it in her own jewlrey box.

Charging for your services is a personal thing. All of the people I know charge a small fee to cover transportation and a meal. Some people choose to charge more but anyone requiring this kind of money (without expecting to fly to someplace like Japan) can't possibly have your best interests at heart.

Online is a difficult media at best but if there is anything I can do to help feel free to email me.

Blessings,

This sounds like a scam. Anytime someone brings up curses, it's a red light that something isn't quite right. Although there are religions that do believe that there are curses, and I'm not about to judge someone for their belief. However this is a way people scam others out of their money.

I don't understand why she had to keep the bracelet. If she needed to cleanse the bracelet, she should have been able to do that with you there. PERIOD. There is energy that is dark, however someone who is legit wouldn't work in this manner. The things she has said to you don't sound true. Do they sound true to you? Or has she created fear? If it's the latter its fake. True people of the spirit don't work from fear, (remember that the next time you're in church) they work to clear you. I can't imagine anyone telling someone straight out they were cursed. I know quite a few light workers, and they do help people remove the garbage but it's a process, that includes the person. There isn't a magic button to remove all the crap we all carry around with us. Have you seen The Secret? Check it out, and make your own clarity.

I also need to respond to the answer that said people doing this have a gift and shouldn't even charge for it. Why? Don't ministers make a living? Don't artists? Every single person doing a job is using a gift, even your accountant. So if we shouldn't make a living using ours why is anyone?

As someone else suggested you may indeed want to report her.

Not everything we do can be defined in a material manner so it's hard to "prove" anything, but the next time your dealing with someone ask them for their code of ethics. For myself, even when I do have negative stuff come up in a reading for someone, they should still feel better after it, they might not like it, but they should feel better just from the point of at least understanding something with more clarity.

OK: look in your mirror, and you will find a person who is real, and has your best interests at heart.

Then, if you feel it's necessary, go out and buy a deck of tarot cards or some runes or something. Do your own reading.

It's my opinion that fortune-telling doesn't tell the future -- what you see is your own desires and longings, and sometimes even your own inner wisdom. Listen to yourself, and do what you think is RIGHT.

I'm struggling with a tarot reading I did for myself. I didn't like it at all, so I think I'll ignore it, and just follow the ones that make me feel good or make sense.

We all have free will.

(BTW, I agree with the others that your psychic is fake and you are getting scammed. Trust yourself -- you knew that already, right?)

I think you know the answer to your own question she is a fake really come on. She's just trying to get money out of you people do things like this all the time. I was watching the Discovery channel and there was this special on scams. This Hispanic woman and her daughter scamed people out of hundreds of thousands of dollars she would tell them to to give her money (the amount would vary) but she would put it in a shoe box and cover it with dirt that she per-mixed with some chemical and the next day she would come and pour water over it and it would run red and she would tell the person the devil had been there and that they needed to give her all their money so she could cleanse it or something but she would always run off with peoples money. I know that's alot but don't let your quest for answers turn you into a victim. Look inside yourself first then seek outside help. I suggest you look to God and you dreams. Your dreams always have answer for you always. Hope all is well with you but PLEASE get your bracelet back from the thief and don't give her thieving a** anymore of your hard earned money. May the blessings of God be upon you.

Answer 5

This is definitely a scam. People like this give legitimate psychics a bad name. Any time a psychic tells you that you have some kind of bad mo-jo on you, and that you need to give them a ridiculous amount of money to remove that mo-jo, it's a scam. And unfortunately this is why, in several states, it is illegal to give any kind of psychic reading or divination for money. The laws are in place to protect you from people like this. I agree with the person who said to go to the police. Or, get a lawyer and sue.

There are, however, legitimate psychics and Tarot readers out there. Or, you could always get your own Tarot deck and learn to read the cards for yourself (yes, you can do that -- the people who tell you that you shouldn't read for yourself generally want to charge you lots of money for a reading!)

Answer 6

I'd have the bracelet appraised to make sure none of the stones were replaced. I also would keep in mind that people who claim to be psychics are fakes, plain and simple. That's why at the bottom of the screen on psychic hotline commercials there's a little disclaimer that you can read, "For entertainment purposes only," so that you can't sue when you, for instance, invest all your money in a certain stock the psychic told you about and then lose it all.
It's a game to them. They tell you what you want to hear and you pay them money that you worked hard for.

Answer 7

Definatly a scammer. Most genuine psychics consider their abilities a gift and would not do something like this. They will charge a small to moderate amount sometimes, because they need to make ends meet, but nothing like this.

Answer 8

She may have given you an accurate reading but added all that bad stuff. When they dont let you leave or try to convince you to give them some $$ as a down payment of an item of value in order to fix a proble,. Start running in the other direction!!!

Answer 9

You might want to check that bracelet and make sure it's the same one you gave her and not a good copy. She's a fraud and should be put out of business. At the very least contact your county's better business bureau.

Answer 10

I am a medium and do readings. I would "never" ask a person to give me anything of theirs unless it's to do a protection, but I would immediately right in front of them give it back! Now, her prices are way to high, our gift comes from God, and really we are not supposed to charge at all. But, after doing a readings and such, we also need to cleanse ourselves with things in order to keep our aura cleansed. Because of this we ask for a "donation" usually $21.00 or $25.00, "never higher" unless other things come in to play. I believe that this person is scamming you. These type of people are the ones who makes other mediums look bad. If you would like to talk further for "free" please do not hesitate to contact me. Do not give her any more of your money and keep your bracelet. Do not go back to her.......that's just my suggestion. Now my question is also what is the $2,900 for?
