............................................................................................
Are you wanting to have a psychic love reading? Did you recently break up from your marriage or relationship? Is Valentine's Day pushing your emotional buttons? We want to give you some genuine guidance before calling some of the unethical psychic services, should you feel inclined to contact some of the 'bring my lover back' psychic sites.
Enticing psychic advertisements saying things like: “Our magical incarnations will bring your lover back to you! Our spells work! We can mend your broken heart and return happiness back into your life. Free Psychic Readings - Reunites Lovers and Stop Break ups/Divorce” are designed to prop up false hopes.
You shouldn't have to deal with psychic con artists when you're wanting genuine spiritual help and that is why Vine has updated her psychic guide to help you find the right psychic.
Unfortunately psychic scams have escalated to a new level. We have updated our Psychic Guide to share peoples feedback and Karma Lounge members comments to help identify what a psychic scam is and to help you find a genuine psychic clairvoyant medium.
A special thank you to everyone who has updated entries on the Karma Lounge Spiritual and Environmental Forum to help us share this information.
Vine believes it is important to be discerning when making a call for a psychic line consultation or booking an email reading over the internet. Now more than ever, when money is tight and you're wading through all the psychic line advertising, how do you find the right psychic?
When you purchase a handbag, computer or a mobile phone you do your research, and the same thing should apply when choosing a decent psychic. This is why we offer these psychic tips on how to determine if a psychic line organization's claims are genuine, as they all claim to be.
Things to look for when having a phone reading:
- Integrity and clarity of vision.
- Someone who is empowering you to be your own guru.
- Someone who tells you what they see, and not what they think you want to hear.
- A genuine psychic doesn't need to be told anything before the reading starts, they will channel your energy and begin the psychic reading by telling you what they 'see' and specific questions can be referred to later.
Things to be wary of when having a phone or email reading:
- Be wary of organizations who ask lots of questions in an attempt to feel their way, rather than giving you a sense of assurance that they have connected with you and are able to provide you with information that only you know is true. Note: This also applies to customer service operators, who are used by organizations at first point of call, to get you to open up and share your information, which is then passed onto the psychic/medium.
- Be wary of organizations that have login websites only, or who have pop-up window requesting your details. The type of details that may be requested are: Your full name, date of birth, email/address and phone information.
There are two reasons to be cautious about these type of sites. The main one is that the organization may be a scam site they may be sourcing your personal details for identity fraud.
However, the most likely reason that the psychic organization is requesting your personal information is to create a customer profile and to find a way of recontacting you. If you look at the website and it says you need to log-in before you can see the psychic/organizations services that should send out a signal that they are creating a customer profile.
- Be wary of people who speak in generalities to get you to open up and give them information.
- Be wary of organizations who attempt to create a level of dependence on themselves, thus encouraging you to call back again. Sometimes it can be difficult to see a way through dark clouds and there is a need to seek clarity from a spiritual teacher, however, it is important for you to be your own guru and to trust in the process of life.
- Be wary of psychic organizations who claim that their psychics, mediums, tarot readers are genuine and all other psychics are not. Question why psychic organizations are making these claims and what are the benefits in doing so. Also, don't believe all of the photo ids next to the psychic profiles. Most are from istock and the people have been made up to make you think you are talking to the person in the photo (for the life of us, we can't explain why).
- Be wary of affiliate/fake psychic websites. They display nothing but advertising, have no real content and direct you to click psychic advertising links. Each time you click a link they earn revenue in their Google Yahoo AdSense account. They might display book widgets that claim you can 'get your lover back' or buy a spell. Most of these sites steal other genuine businesses web content.
- Be wary of organizations who claim to give back 'money back guarantees', and then only offer a percentage of the amount you paid.
- Check if the testimonials are not related to people who work for the service and whether people will swear on oath that these claims are accurate. If someone has written a testimonial for an organization or psychic, look at the authenticity of the claims. A new con by some psychic businesses is to place istock photos on their website of models and to write a fake testimonial. Rule of thumb: people seek out psychics and want their privacy to remain anonymous. They don't want their faces displayed on strange websites that friends and family will see. You will need to read between the lines, when you spot these psychic sites.
Vine only accepts statutory testimonials and does this because people are swearing on oath that these things have happened.
- Be wary of organizations who employ people who are not experienced in the psychic or metaphysical arts, or who fail to disclose other qualifications such as, psychologists, life coaches or counselors, who rely on creating customer profiles and data bases to identify if you have called their service before so they can check your details. It is easy for them to appear to be psychic if they're checking your previous call details.
- Also, don't provide a lot of information for email readings. If you are being asked your full name, date of birth and to fill in why you need a psychic reading, then you can place these readings in the same category as communicating with a customer service operator. You are basically spoon feeding the psychic and anyone can set themselves up as a psychic email reader. It's nice sometimes to have a copy of a reading, but if that reading is computer generated or solely generated by your specific questions, how does that help you deal with your real issues?
- A genuine psychic or medium with natural abilities does not need to make a customer profile. Should you be calling for a second time, a genuine psychic will tune into your energy as if for the first time and pick up on the subtle changes they see, without having to ask you questions or check your details on a data base.
- Check privacy information on the organization's website and ask questions about database details. You have the right to know how your personal information is being used and whether they do take private notes on your calls or have your information in a customer data base.
- Sad but true. Be wary of psychic businesses trying to jump on the psychic-scam-bandwagon by appearing to warn you about psychic scams. These businesses hire professional psychic writers to counteract any government/legitimate scam information websites about their scam activities. The only way you're going to know which organization is not a psychic scam is to research, research, research.
- Extremely important: Under no circumstances should you have a psychic reading with someone who uses hypnosis. Firstly hypnosis has nothing to do with psychic or spiritual readings. It is a form of mind manipulation. Secondly, you are placing yourself in a vulnerable situation if someone is inexperienced or claims to be an expert in the hypnosis field. When we say avoid these psychic services at all costs - we mean run, don't look back.
When to Call a Psychic:
Try to call a psychic, medium, clairvoyant at a reasonable hour when you are not tired, intoxicated or struggling with sleep. It might feel good to get some assistance in the early hours of the morning, but more than likely you may be contacting a 24/7 chat line service which is waiting for your type of desperate call. These psychic services will be advertising heavily on the internet in the sponsored advertising section. Look for the first 3 entries on the top of the search engine page or on the right hand side of the page. If you have benefited from a psychic reading from a qualified service before, then wait for the psychic to become available. Also remember that the psychic/medium requires enough sleep to replenish their spiritual ability and to provide a quality psychic reading.
Remember, patience is a virtue!
There are genuine psychics, spiritualists and mediums out there, you just need to do your research and find the right psychic for your needs.
Remember: do your research, ask questions before making a psychic line booking and refer to Vine's Psychic Line Guidelines on finding the right psychic for you.
