Have you ever considered a psychic reading? Maybe someone impresses you a great deal. Before you spend your hard earned money, you want to know if you can trust this person. There are things that you can do to find out more about these people. Here are some ways to separate the psychics from the scams.
Check them out
A good place to start is checking them out. Enter the person or business name in a major search engine. If nothing shows up, try putting the word scam with it. You might be surprised at what shows up. There are many discussion groups and forums. When people get scammed, they post messages and questions. This helps many people avoid these charlatans.
Look for hype
What does the website look like? Is there a lot of hype? What about amazing testimonials of accuracy? The thing about testimonials is they cannot be proven. You will see a first name and a last initial. That is not very difficult to fake.
A legitimate psychic may have a website. It will have accurate information. There will not be a lot of flashy ads and big promises.
Money back guarantee
Money back guarantees are great. However, the unscrupulous will tell you there is a money back guarantee, and there will not be. The only way you can be certain, is actual experience. If someone that you know receives a refund, then you know it is for real.
Contact info
Is there contact information. Look for an email or a telephone number. A legitimate psychic will have no problems answering your questions. Most phony psychic websites will not even have an email address to contact them. They do not want to be contacted. They are only interested in taking your money.
If there is contact info, do they respond? A contact email address with no response is no good. Always contact the psychic first. Ask questions about their service. If they want money right away, be skeptical.
Accuracy
Be doubtful of people that promise amazing accuracy. This is not an exact science. No one can be right all the time. Even the best of psychics often fail.
Decide what you want
Do you want someone that can counsel you on future events? Do you want someone to give you the winning lottery numbers? The first desire is attainable. The second one is not. No one can accurately predict winning lottery numbers. If this were the case, they would not be asking you for money. Think about it. This person can have all of the money, fame, and fortune that they desire. What are they doing with a website, asking you for money?
Be realistic
Do not expect amazing results all the time. Make sure that your request or desire is attainable and reasonable. Always bring a healthy dose of skepticism to the table with you.
Summary
Do you want to know if some psychics are for real? Check out online reviews. Look for a lot of hype. See what type of contact info is available. Beware of amazing claims and results. Be realistic in your expectations. Does it seem too good to be true? You know the answer to that question.
