Scam Alerts
A useful reading should never require fear, secrecy or an open-ended payment commitment. The checks below help you spot pressure tactics before they become expensive.
Common warning signs
- Curse removal for an extra fee. Someone claims you or a loved one is cursed, then demands repeated payments to remove it. You cannot verify that claim, and the promised result is often impossible to measure.
- Guaranteed relationship or financial outcomes. No advisor can guarantee that someone will return, that a job will be offered or that an investment will succeed.
- Urgency and escalating minutes. A reader says you must continue immediately or lose your only chance. Pause, end the call and compare what was promised with the platform’s rules.
- Off-platform money or sensitive data. Requests for direct transfers, passwords, bank details or identity documents create avoidable risk. Use only the provider’s normal payment and support channels.
- Unsolicited private contact. Be cautious if someone contacts you unexpectedly and claims to know about a crisis or secret problem.
Protect your time and budget
Before a session, choose a maximum spend and calculate the minutes it will buy at the current rate. Keep one or two questions at hand and use a timer. Save a screenshot of the listed rate and offer terms. If the conversation becomes vague or repetitive, you can stop without paying for more time to get the same answer.
If something goes wrong
- Stop the session and do not send further money.
- Save receipts, messages, the advisor name, date and advertised terms.
- Contact the platform’s official support and ask for its complaint or resolution procedure.
- If you shared account credentials, change them and secure the affected account. For a disputed card charge, contact your payment provider.
Our directory is a comparison aid. We do not claim that every listing has been individually vetted or that every third-party review is authentic. Use the original platform’s policies and support options when reporting misconduct.
Keep the right support close
For a medical, legal, financial or mental-health issue, seek a qualified professional. If you are grieving, a counselor or trusted support network can offer care that a reading may not provide. No advisor should pressure you to stop treatment or professional help.
