How to Spot a Genuine Psychic and Avoid Scams
There are so many fraudulent psychics out there who pretend that they have intuitive gifts and provide fake readings only to take your cash. You want to be incredibly careful when it comes to fraudulent psychics because there are many online, even though they have always been around. Reputable chat for psychic services will screen readers before hiring them to determine if they genuinely have psychic gifts. However, not all online psychic chat platforms screen applicants thoroughly, and you could also see someone pretending they are a reader advertising their "services" on advertising platforms. You do not want to become a victim of psychic fraud.
How You Can Spot A Fake Psychic
The last thing you want to do is fall prey to a psychic scammer who has no intuitive skills and is only there to grab your cash. Therefore you have not only have to know what to look for when it comes to fraudulent psychics, but you also have to use your intuition. If you are about to have a reading with a psychic and it does not feel kosher, then chances are it is not. Chances are you are about to have a reading with a fraud, and you want to stop yourself in the tracks before you end up falling victim to the scam! Let's talk about what you need to do to keep yourself safe from fraudulent psychics and how to tell the difference between fake and legitimate psychics.
Never Use A Questionable Platform To Get An Online Psychic Reading
Legitimate platforms will thoroughly screen their psychic applicants by testing their skills. And if the testers do not feel that the applicant has adequate skills, they will not hire them. You want to be careful, though. Not all older platforms are legitimate, as there have been many that have been around for years that hosted poor-quality psychics. However, new platforms are extensive when they go through their testing process to screen applicants.
You do not want to knock new psychic platforms for the sake of them being new! You need to do some research on any platform to determine their reputation. If they have a good reputation for hosting legitimate psychics, then chances are it is safe for you to get a reading from there. But at the same time, that does not mean all of the psychics there are entirely skilled, mainly if the tester who screened them conducted a basic test where anyone could pass!
Read The Language That Psychics Use On Their Profiles
Another thing you want to be mindful of is when you are looking for legitimate psychics online, and you want to read their profiles carefully. Be mindful of the language that they use on their profiles. If they say they are 100 percent accurate with their predictions, then that right there is a lie. No psychic, no matter how skilled and gifted they are, is 100 percent accurate with their predictions. Remember that they are human, and humans make mistakes. No human is perfect! Even the most skilled doctor will make mistakes! So a legitimate psychic will never use that language. They can say they have a high accuracy rate, but it is never perfect. Exaggeration is a red flag.
Also, if the psychic states on their profiles that they can remove curses or what they predict will always be set in stone, you want to avoid them as much as possible! If these psychics are on a reputable online platform, you can also report them because any reputable platform will not allow that use of language. It isn't very ethical.
Read About The Methods They Use For Divination
You want to ensure that the psychic shows you their divination methods to conduct readings. When you hire a psychic on a web chat platform without video, you will not see what methods they use, but if there are signs that they are legitimate (which will be delved deeper into the next point), then chances are it is kosher. For instance, you want to know what kind of psychic reader you hire. Are they an astrologer, a tarot card reader, an oracle card reader, or a medium that uses runes? You need to know those things. If you hire a psychic to chat on video, then you can see them conduct their readings through the methods they say. If they don't tell you how they use to conduct readings, that is a red flag.
The Rating Matters
When you hire a psychic, you want to check their ratings and reviews. Bear in mind a psychic that has mostly good reviews will have some negative ones. There will always be disgruntled customers who don't like what the psychic tells them, and you may want to take that as a good sign. That is because you do not want to go to a psychic who will only tell you what you want to hear. If the psychic has good ratings overall and has primarily good ratings, then chances are they are fine. Go with your intuition as well.
Beware Of How The Psychic Speaks To You
Back in the day, when you went to see psychics in-person, or even nowadays, if you choose to do so, they had and have ways of fabricating a reading. They will give you a fake reading based on how they see you. For example, they will evaluate your mannerisms, clothing, and personality type and provide you with a believable "reading" based on that. It is harder for online psychics to scam you that way. Unless you choose the video option, they can observe you and provide you with a fraudulent reading.
For instance, if you want to get a love reading by a psychic through video chat, and you are the introverted type, they will tell you that the perfect mate for you is right around the corner because that individual loves the "shy type." You would be amazed at how they know you are shy, making you believe they are legitimate.
However, know that they are not using any intuition. Remember, fake psychics, don't have those gifts. They are excellent observers. The best way to combat this situation is to go by a webchat reading and come on there anonymously. That way, they do not know your name, and they cannot see your appearance and mannerisms. The only thing they can do to help you is utilizing their psychic gifts. A fake psychic is less likely to want to use the chat option and go right to the video option instead.
However, if you choose to talk to the psychic via video, you may want to wear a plain shirt that can hide your socioeconomic status. You also will want to speak straightforwardly and as little as possible. That way, even though the psychic will see you, there is not much they can detect from your mannerisms and appearance. They'll have to rely on their gifts.
You also want to ensure that you receive transcripts of your chat readings to determine that they are genuine. Then, you can look at the transcript later and determine how realistic the chat was. That way, even if the accuracy wasn't high, you will see signs that the psychic you chatted with was legitimate.
Check To See How Long The Psychic Has Been Doing Readings
You want to be discerning when it comes to this tip because new psychics are legitimate and gifted. However, new psychics that are genuine will clarify that they are fresh on their profile, and their rates will be low, so they become established. Chances are they have a few reviews, and if they are good, then there is no reason to think that they are not legitimate.
However, if you see a psychic who has been on a platform for a long time and doesn't have many reviews or most are not stellar, you will want to steer clear. The psychics that have been around for a while will have higher rates and are likely legitimate if most of their reviews are positive.
You Can Always Ask Customer Service Of The Platform To Recommend A Psychic
If you are not sure about the best psychic that can help you with your situation and the type of reading you want, then the best thing to do is ask customer service for a recommendation from a trusted psychic. Tell them what divination tool you want them to use, whether tarot, astrology, oracle cards, pendulums, or a medium that uses runes. Be specific about what you need, and customer service will help you.
The point is that you do not want to endure any scams, and you work hard for your money. However, you need insight, whether it has to do with your love life, career, life purpose, or anything else, and you want to ensure that you get it from a reputable psychic. Remember that good-quality platforms that host chat for psychics will screen applicants. Therefore, the chances of a fake ending up on one of the platforms are low, but the odds are still not zero. Consequently, you want to ensure that you are careful, and awareness is the thing that can help you exercise caution while choosing a psychic.
