Things to watch out for!
In a landscape where scam psychics prey on vulnerable individuals seeking guidance, Kate sheds light on common red flags and provides guidance on how to spot fraudulent behaviours. By trusting instincts, researching psychics, and being cautious of fear-based messages, individuals can safeguard themselves from scams and ensure genuine and positive psychic experiences.
Scam psychics engage in deceptive practices to manipulate and exploit vulnerable individuals seeking guidance.
Here are some common tactics they may use and how to spot them:
-
First up: No psychic worth their salt will ever go soliciting in your DM’s. They may do blanket readings on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram but they will never casually slide into your DM’s and offer readings or energy clearings.
-
Cold Reading: Scam psychics often use cold reading techniques, where they make generalised statements or ask leading questions to elicit information from you. They’ll often drop into your DM’s and try to reel you in. They may use this information to make it seem like they have special insights when they are actually just fishing for details.
-
Fear-Mongering: Some scam psychics may instill fear or anxiety in you by predicting negative outcomes or claiming that you have curses or negative energies that only they can remove for a fee. They use fear as a tactic to manipulate you into paying for unnecessary services.
-
Pressure Tactics: Scam psychics may employ high-pressure sales tactics to persuade you to purchase additional readings, services, or items like candles, crystals, or cleansings. They may claim that urgent action is needed to prevent dire consequences.
-
Excessive Fees: Be wary of psychics who charge exorbitant fees for their services or ask for additional payments for removing curses, providing protection, or promising guaranteed results. Legitimate psychics typically have transparent pricing without hidden costs.
-
No Credentials or Testimonials: Scam psychics often lack credible credentials, qualifications, or verifiable testimonials from satisfied clients. They may rely on flashy marketing tactics or self-proclaimed titles to appear legitimate.
-
Research psychics thoroughly, seek recommendations, and trust your intuition to avoid falling victim to scams.
-
Be cautious of overly aggressive or fear-based messages: Authentic psychics focus on empowerment and guidance, not instilling fear or urgency.
-
Avoid psychics who claim to have supernatural powers or promise 100% accuracy: Legitimate psychics acknowledge that readings are interpretive and based on energy and intuition.
By staying informed, remaining vigilant, and trusting intuition, individuals can protect themselves from scam psychics and cultivate authentic and positive psychic experiences.
Trust your gut instinct: If something feels off or too good to be true, it likely is!
