How To Get The Best Psychic Readings and Avoid Scams

The topic of psychic scams is an interesting one. It is something that many people are very passionate about.

First things first, it is important to point out that we are not referring to the work of psychics in general. There are many psychics out there that are truly experienced, knowledgeable, and gifted at what they do. Their guidance and advice is trustworthy.

Unfortunately, those that visit psychics are often emotionally vulnerable. Life problems often prompt many people’s first readings. And, even more unfortunately, there are unscrupulous people that capitalize on these people. These are the fake psychics. They are the ones looking to take advantage of unsuspecting people and manipulate them. They are in it for the money and are willing to scam you any way that it takes to get more of this money.

But there are scams in almost any field. If it is a service that you pay money for, you can bet that scammers have attempted to milk the profession before. For instance, there are plenty of tales of fake lawyers, fake doctors, and fake accountants out there, open for business only to scam unfortunate people out of their money.

The world of psychic readings is the same way. There are plenty of legit psychics out there that are gifted, knowledgeable, and eager to help you. And then there are those that are just scammers in disguise.

Naturally, it is imperative to avoid the psychic scams. Luckily for us, most psychic scammers pull off their scams in much the same way. Below are a few of the most common psychic scams that you must avoid!

Psychic Hotlines

Psychic phone hotlines are hit or miss. Unless you know one to be absolutely and completely reliable, we would recommend staying away from them.

Not all psychic hotlines are fraudulent, but the fact that you don’t sit face to face with the psychic reader makes it a whole lot easier for them to fool you. For starters, you don’t get to see them doing the actual reading. They could be playing solitaire for all you know. And then there is the fact that some psychic hotlines regularly advertise for openings online, “no experience necessary.” If anyone at all could be on the other end of the phone, why would you risk your time and money?

Desperation Baiting

Many people that visit or call a psychic are in a state of desperation. You might have just gone through a breakup, a career crisis, or another major life event. Fraudulent scammers tend to capitalize on the desperation of those that see them, milking it for all it is worth.

The best way to spot this type of psychic scam is when a psychic is deliberately trying to find out what your problem is right off the bat. They might bait you by asking questions such as “have you had a break-up lately?” or “do you feel unloved no matter what you do?” It is a huge warning sign when these questions are asked early on in a session and especially without prompting. Reliable and trustworthy psychics tend to start their sessions with a little small talk, to get to know you, and don’t ask questions like these unless they relate to what you’re telling them.

Finding the Best Psychic Reader

Finding a great psychic reader is a lot like finding the perfect professional in any other field. You shouldn’t just jump at the first one you see. And you definitely shouldn’t decide to see a psychic on the fly, after randomly driving by a sign advertising one.

There are a lot of honest, decent, and ethical physics out there. Finding one like this is the key. In addition to avoiding scams like those mentioned above, it is also imperative to find one that is experienced and knowledgeable in their art. Like other professions, the level of service from two trustworthy psychics can vary greatly. While neither might be trying to scam you, one could offer a vastly superior reading simply because they are more experienced.
