Twitter & Facebook Used For Psychic Scams by Criminals

Are you friending sales affiliates and criminals posing as psychics?

Nobody is safe when it comes to fraudulent psychics. Your Twitter, Facebook and Google+ account are all being circled by sales affiliates and criminals.

Fake psychics have to find a way of attracting new customers and they go to where the people are. That's why you are seeing a lot of free psychic reading offers on Facebook and Twitter from Australian and world psychic readers.

You need to be 100% sure which psychics you're friending and stop your private information being shared with psychics you don't really know.

Most importantly you need to stop your personal information being shared with your regular psychic reader.

Let's create an example scenario about a meet and greet psychic in Brisbane:

A psychic advertises in a local newspaper about a special free talk they are doing at a Brisbane venue in Australia. They befriend all who arrive and ask people to friend them on their Facebook account.

They share they're going to offer free psychic readings once a week.

Free Psychic Reading Trap

When you see their Facebook feed, free psychic offer, the psychic asks you to detail why you want a psychic reading.

You are asked to provide information about what is going on in your life and then the spiritual medium will give you angelic guidance from their spiritual guides to help you deal with your current situation.

Okay, hands up if you can identify why you need to be careful about a psychic friending you on Facebook and requesting information about your circumstances?

Who got it right?

If you questioned why a psychic needed your personal information before they did a free reading you would be right.

What about the fact you are allowing the psychic or spiritual medium to access your personal information to see your latest photos, your friends and what you are writing about in your life?

Do you think this is a little odd that a psychic is able to access all of your personal details?

Hopefully you answered yes.

Now why are so many of you friending psychics, mediums, clairvoyants on Facebook and Twitter. At least on Twitter you can make your profile private, but with Facebook they keep changing the privacy settings all the time and you have to opt in to tell which people you want to share your information with.

Do you regularly check your privacy settings when you update a photo or tag a friends profile?

I could take a guess and suggest maybe some of you do, but the majority of people who have friended a psychic wouldn't remember they can get access to all of your personal details.

Now why is this something that you should think about?

A lot of online psychic readers are sales affiliates from a variety of business backgrounds.

They are unable to provide genuine proof of psychic ability without knowing your personal information.

If you have to tell a psychic why you want a reading on Facebook then something is terribly amiss.

The same with a phone psychic reading. If a psychic asks so many questions why you want a reading and tries to get you to reveal a lot of personal information, you aren't having a credible spiritual reading.

A reputable spiritual medium would not want to know anything about your current circumstances at the start of your reading.

If they are truly psychic they will be able to tap into information without you sharing anything.

Remember you're paying for someone to reveal personal information about your life because they claim to be a gifted and an accurate psychic.

Now I'm going to warn you about something you might not have even considered when it comes to friending or following a psychic reader on your social network.

Because you are friending psychics on Facebook a lot of overseas online scams are seeing a way to get to you, and obtain your personal information.

These are not the run of your mill entertainment psychics, they are the nasty guns, the one's who want your banking information and your personal details for identity theft. They can easily create a fake psychic profile on Twitter and Facebook and direct you to phishing sites that place a computer virus or spyware on your computer.

Guess what, they are rampant and doing it as I write this new psychic blog article. Your past online behaviour of friending a psychic is giving them ample opportunity to disguise themselves as a loving, considerate and good psychic. They check what a psychic profile looks like and create something similar.

Criminals can create psychic websites. They can use false photographs and they are highly sophisticated when it comes to finding new victims to steal your money and identify. They are rampant on Twitter and Facebook now.

Facebook is trying to get users to changeover to Facebook email accounts and Twitter has a report phishing and spam section because over 70 percent of online profiles are fake. That's right. I'm not exaggerating when I share with you that I was spiritually guided nearly 70% of online business profiles are fake. As soon as the get rich quick spam businesses are identified they go and create another profile.

Cyber World - Why You Have to Get Up to Speed

You are now communicating in a different cyber world and if you don't take your personal safety and privacy details seriously, then criminals or fake psychic will take advantage of that.

What can you do about it?

1. Stop any psychic from friending you on Facebook. Immediately remove all friend's psychic Mind Body Spirit profiles if you converse with them regularly. We recently closed our Facebook account and closely monitor followers on Twitter and Google+. I'm guided spiritually that Facebook isn't capable of managing the amount of scams that are going to hit in cyberspace soon.


2. Change your privacy settings on Facebook, Linked In, Twitter to friends only and immediately stop online psychics from knowing your personal information.


3. Don't click online websites from Facebook and Twitter before thoroughly searching their business reputation on Google, Yahoo and Bing.


4. Type in the domain business address in Twitter and see if multiple accounts come up for the same business or psychic.


5. Don't click links that are not from a genuine website (do step 4 before clicking). Twitter will normally bring up a warning for phishing accounts.


6. Report any unusual Twitter accounts to the Twitter spam and management section. Do the same for Google+ and Facebook etc.


7. Don't believe recommendation sites. A lot of psychics are falsely recommending their own services by having multiple fake Twitter and Facebook accounts. They do this to build up false reputation. They also update fake psychic reviews etc.


8. Now this is simple, don't tell an online psychic why you need a reading. If they can coerce private information out of you, they can definitely up-sell money making schemes, flog off spells, hypnotherapy tapes etc.

Now take a deep breath and resonate with all of the information I've provided about the fraudsters and charlatans online. How do your online user habits allow them to get traction in the psychic or mind body spirit field?

If you believe what I've shared with you is important and relevant, follow the tips provided. We're living in a changing E-commerce world and you need to take responsibility for the information you are updating on your Twitter account and Facebook account etc.

If you have read any of my psychic background you will know that I was guided over 20 years ago to be found online to help people find a real spiritual medium (commonly known as a psychic).

In 2007 I was spiritually guided that I needed to educate people on how to find decent spiritual sensitives. Every time I'm given a psychic prediction about fake psychic services and scams I share them with you.

Spirit cares about the psychic arts and helping people find genuine light workers. You have to stop fake psychics and sales people getting a foot in and do your part to stop them getting in contact with you on your social networks.

We can all be apart of the same spiritual family, it doesn't mean the behavior of people separated from the highest good should be ignored. Be discerning and follow your gut instincts when it comes to sourcing credible psychics.

Love, Melancholy and Phone Psychic Readings

Psychic Advertising to Entice the Viewer - Where is my true love?

Scene 1. Single Girl or Guy Restless Night In

You are feeling a bit melancholy on a Friday or Saturday evening. All your single friends have headed off to a nightclub or gone out on a date and you feel a little left out.

Scene 2. Single Girl or Guy - Who is the One?

All your friends have paired up and are in “Couple Ville” and you are still to meet the One. You want to meet that special man or women that will make your heart skip a beat, share cozy nights in cuddling up together to watch your favorite DVD.

Scene 3. Calling an Online Psychic, How do you choose?

You decide you are going to call a psychic, but you don’t want to call just any old psychic, you’re going to check the website and find a decent psychic.

You head to the website to find the right psychic for your needs and up appears a variety of psychics listing their expertise; now comes the difficult part deciding which psychic fits the bill. 

The first psychic you view declares they can bring the love of your life to you.  The next one tells you that by using their magical spell you can attract love.  There are a wide range of psychics screaming from the page pick me, pick me. 

Scene 4. Selecting the Psychic

Before you hand over your hard earned cash, or credit card details to someone over the phone take a deep breath and read the spiritual guidance I’m going to share with you.

Not all the psychic listings you are viewing on the web are what they seem.  You may be contacting people who have done a lot of clever business maneuvering to get page ranking for the key words “love psychics” and are waiting for your desperate call in the night.  You have to do your research and find out the businesses reputation and reviews that genuine psychics provide.  The only way you are going to find a decent psychic is by doing your homework and not rushing in to have a midnight psychic reading.

I recommend you read some of the previous psychic guides I was spiritually guided to update about finding the best psychic and become educated on what type of psychic scams are online and why false psychics set themselves up as phone psychics.

The best type of psychic recommendation you can get is word-of-mouth. The second best is a psychic guide that allows you to make an informed decision about having a psychic reading. Don’t rush into a psychic reading before researching the psychic of your choice.

Scene 5. Calling A Psychic

Now that you have chosen your psychic I recommend you do 3 things before you call.

1. Do not provide your bank, credit card details before checking everything about the psychic business first.  Make sure you find out if the psychic business has strong credibility and a good reputation in the market place. Check how long they have been doing psychic readings and if they have business terms and conditions and a privacy policy on their website.  If they don’t have this information on their web site rethink your choice of psychic.

 

2. Check if they are an entertainment psychic. Entertainment psychics are another way of saying, “I’m not what I seem”. Be discerning.

3. Don’t share too much information about your circumstances.  If you have a psychic reading that is nothing more than a friend chat, then you will miss out on real psychic or spiritual guidance. Real psychics don’t need to know why you are calling them.  They might ask for your name to establish a rapport, but they shouldn’t ask a lot of questions.  If a psychic claims they need to know everything about your situation to do a psychic reading you are better off ending the call.  They are not what they seem.

Scene 6. Taking Control of Your Life

When you take a moment to think about your life decisions you become more empowered and take back control of your life.  You are your own guru so be discerning when it comes to seeking guidance from psychics online.

Love and Light

2011 - Why Spirit is emphasising the Message of Oneness - Vine Psychic Line

I have a loving relationship with Spirit and when I'm being asked to step up the plate to do further spiritual work because guidance needs to reach people I am a willing participant.

You may not realize this, but everything about the work I do is guided by Spirit. I will fall asleep and receive spiritual guidance about every aspect of the business.

It might come as a surprise to you, but Spirit dislikes crystal balls and gypsy images that are displayed heavily in the psychic shops and psychic reading websites. This is why I was guided to do a spiritually designed website. The butterfly animation at the top of my website was shown to me night after night in a dream. I would wake and draw the images shown to me and write the words that would leap from the page. Needless to say I had to relay that guidance across to a graphic artist who painstakingly had to recreate the visions. I was guided to an amazing graphic artist in my hometown Melbourne and the rest they say is history.

Spirits real message that 'Everybody Deserves Clarity in Their Life' was to help people realize that we can all sometimes reach a difficult time in our life and find it hard to see the light for the trees. When this happens you can feel isolated, alone and find it hard to believe that Spirit is available to help you find a state of peace. Many clients will contact me for the first time and share they don't know why they are reaching out for a reading but they felt they needed to do it. These readings provide magical moments to clients who have never had a genuine spiritual reading before. When their loved ones from Spirit reach out to them and share only guidance and information that they only know - they're changed forever.

As a Medium those moments are special to witness and experience first hand. I never know anything about a reading until I tune into the individuals consciousness and only then will I know the reason why Spirit is reaching out to make contact. Grief can be a Debilitating dis - ease that sometimes stops people functioning in normal day to day life. If a loved one dies tragically or suddenly and you don't have a chance to say goodbye it can send people over the edge. Most clients who contact me for a reading are guided to contact me by their loved ones because they know their death has caused a great deal of pain.

Spirit initially guided me to work on the psychic lines in Australia and overseas because they warned people would be taken advantage of by the psychic scams entering the market place. Knowing how many scams there are now and regularly having people contact me to share some of their stories I understand why I was guided to do this.

Spiritual readings were never intended to be a means of businesses making a lot of money from the vulnerable people who use their services - they are meant to be a way of spirit reaching out to provide genuine guidance to help people get back on their feet. When I am being guided to write articles about psychic scams, mind manipulation and outright fraud it breaks my heart to see how tainted the psychic industry has become. In truth, the word 'psychic' has lost its real meaning because it has served a purpose by big business to market and promote anything psychic.

The psychic industry is a well-oiled machine that spirit describes has lost its way. They hire people to work the phones, manage any negative feedback or real transparency and heavily lobby governments to self regulate. Spirit in good humor describes them as spin doctors. Knowing that karma exists I think they will have a lot of karmic retribution to deal with at the end of their life.

This is the reason why I am being guided to use my voice to share genuine spiritual messages from the higher realms. Spirit is wanting me to write a book and to provide video lessons about the spiritual times we are now living in. I'm normally an extremely private person, and if you have read my biography you would know that I was once a reluctant psychic who wasn't keen about stepping forward as a psychic kid to do anything psychic. Now more than ever, I understand why I chose this pathway and when I see how people have benefited from having a spiritual reading I know that I am blessed to be a natural-born Sensitive.

It is no accident that you find yourself reading my articles, or contacting me for a reading - it is all spiritually divined. I am a servant to spirit as you are also, and I follow the guidance I receive to help you find the relevant articles and information that you need to read. I write the psychic predictions that I am being shown, which then are found by the people searching for the information.

When you realize that spirit does love and care for you and wants you to find your own inner voice you will begin to see why spiritual teachers were placed on the earth at this time to help you awaken to your own inner knowing.

2011 is a year that Spirit is reaching out to awaken the people who have forgotten how to spiritually see.

Finding the Right Psychic at Christmas - Vine Psychic Line

Psychic Line Readings: How do you find a genuine clairvoyant and avoid psychic scams?



The Christmas and holiday season seems to be a time when all the psychic scams come out of the woodwork.

Why?

Because some people can find the holiday season to be far from enjoyable and can be quite vulnerable after the loss of a loved one or relationship, the latest family conflict, or feeling isolated and alone while everyone else is enjoying themselves. The psychic scam sites set up 24/7 chat lines for a desperate call in the night.

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 in 2010 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 this year 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 car or an electrical appliance 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.

3 Minute Free Psychic Reading Traps -Vine Psychic Line Tips

Avoid 3-Minute Free Psychic Readings
As the holiday season draws near you may need an online psychic service. Christmas and the holiday season can be a period of deep emotions and sometimes it can be a very stressful and anxious time. You may want to consult a psychic to help you during this time.

We encourage you to steer away from 3 minute free/or free psychic reading online sites.

What are 3 Minute Free Psychics?
On my Psychic Line blog I have written about some of the scams that have started to emerge in the psychic industry. One of them is Free Psychics or 3 Minute Free Psychics.

Let's look at the psychic industry's strategy of getting you to visit their website. They need to attract your attention - what better way of doing this than by claiming they offer free readings. Do they really offer free readings? No, they don't. 3 minute free psychics or free psychics are emerging on the internet in mass proportions. The strategy of the psychic organization is to fool people into believing that free psychics exist. They don't.

The old saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch, applies to the free psychic sites listed on the web. You are being enticed to their site for a reason. It's either to hit a lot of AdWords (Google, Yahoo, Bing or psychic/astrology banners that are displayed heavily on their site to direct you back to the larger psychic sites), or to lure you into booking a reading for a longer period. Be discerning when looking for genuine psychic help (please refer to Vine's Guide to Finding the Right Psychic to avoid scams).

Psychic Regulation in Australia
There is no regulation of the psychic industry in Australia and therefore anybody can claim to be psychic. You have a right as a buyer to seek out genuine psychic services, therefore do your research, become more psychic savvy before booking a psychic reading and avoid free psychic reading online sites.

Vine's Psychic Background - 28 Years working in Spiritual Field
There's not much that I don't know about the psychic industry. I was originally guided by spirit to do phone psychic readings over 15 years ago because spirit was concerned about some of the unethical psychic businesses emerging in the market place. As a Natural Born Clairvoyant Medium working in the spiritual field over the years I have witnessed one scam after another.

Genuine clairvoyant mediums and psychics are becoming harder to find as more big businesses with little interest in spiritual and psychic concerns other than how much money they can make out of them, move into the industry.

Now more than ever when looking for genuine psychic assistance, you need to be psychic savvy!

Psychic Scams & Finding-The-Right-Psychic

Documentary on internet scam sites - follow advice provided and read Psychic Scam info. below What's happening in the Psychic Industry in Australia is a travesty. We now have an 'anything goes' environment that is taking advantage of its customers and doesn't have any real regulation, other than industry self regulation. As a result of this, we have customers who are experiencing one psychic scam after another. There are now fully qualified counselors, psychologists and life coaches claiming to be psychics and mediums. Why are they doing this? The simple answer is because they can. They're using a lax unregulated system to take advantage of their customers and not declaring their real qualifications. Therefore a psychic reading is now becoming a life coaching or a counseling session. I love the work I do as a spiritual medium and I know there are other genuine clairvoyant mediums that do as well. It is an honor to be able to share Spirits guidance, to help people who are emotionally stuck because of the loss of a loved one or needing spiritual assistance to work through some of their life issues. Unfortunately, there are now a lot of unscrupulous people and businesses emerging in the market place which is now tainting the spiritual industry. I have been guided by Spirit to get the message out there and for people who are seeking spiritual assistance to look out for the Psychic scams that are now operating on the internet and in the market place. The first thing you need to know is that each day there is a new psychic emerging on the internet. Whether they are actually gifted with psychic ability is questionable. They are coming from countries all around the world and creating websites to get you to use their service. Some of these organizations are setup to deceive internet customers to get your personal information for identity fraud. Do not book an internet reading before following these checks

• Please ensure before making any bookings online that you check if the psychic or organization has a privacy policy at the bottom of their web page and the website looks professional to avoid identity fraud scams.

• Check if the website is incomplete, looks amateurish or there are multiple websites and business names do your research before booking a reading.

Hint: Do a search of the telephone numbers they are using. Copy & paste the telephone details of the 1900, 1300, 1800 numbers in full, or the phone details of your country premium line services and see if multiple websites come up in a search. If they do then you can be guaranteed this is an organization hiding behind many business identities.You may find over 10 or more businesses for the same psychic line number. That means the organizations are using the same psychics either in your country of origin, or globally for the one business. They would have bought multiple domain sites and pretending to be a different psychic organization. That means if you had a shoddy reading with one psychic organization and you innocently call another one that you could possibly have a reading with the same psychic.

• If a website is asking you to log in and provide your personal details before you can use their services do not do this before checking if this website is legitimate and is covered by the Privacy laws of your country of origin.

• These sites are possibly scam sites wanting to get your personal information for identity fraud or also could be a business wanting to create a customer profile.

• If you believe the site is fine and your willing to provide the details check their privacy policy on their website. You need to know that your personal information is not going to be used, shared or left on a database so other psychics or online counselors have access to the notes of your previous calls. This is a way that counselors, psychologists and life coaches are entering into the psychic industry. They refer back to your earlier call details and then look like they are psychic.

• Ask the business point blank are you keeping records of my earlier call details? Do you write notes about my reasons for calling your organization?

Yes, there are some anti-competitive organizations operating both in Australia and overseas. You need to become more research savvy, that way you can send a message out to the psychic industry about operating a business in an ethical manner. Hopefully, being given a heads-up will give you the necessary tools to help you become more discerning in finding-the-right-psychic for your needs. Go to the Karma Lounge Spiritual and Environmental Forum to find a list of psychic scams at www.vinemedium.com.au. Let us know if there are other scams that you are aware of operating in the market place. Please make sure this is registered on a government department website before submitting it. If you have any other complaints about psychics you will need to contact consumer affairs in your country if the issue is directly related to psychic fraud or a scam. If you have an anti-competitive complaint you will need to contact the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC). There are currently no government regulations for the psychic and metaphysical industry in Australia and this has allowed some people in the industry to take advantage of their customers. There are a lot of anti-competitive behaviors occurring in the industry and until either the Federal or State government step in and establish some type of regulation this will continue to occur. Please refer to the list of known psychic scams operating in Australia on my website at www.vinemedium.com.au and click the Karma Lounge forum button. You will find the list at the very beginning of the site. Important: Please refer to this list only as a guide; there still may be others that are not on the list. Love and Light Vine Vine is offering discount credit card rates when you book a reading over the internet. Click the Readings and Consultations tab at the top of the title page and choose the time and the type of reading you require.
