Astrology and Psychic Scams and Fakes

[ktlight]

ulli, this is obviously not including you.
FYI:

What are astrology scams?

Psychic scams prey on people’s emotional vulnerabilities. Self-proclaimed psychics claim to have had visions or have foreseen your lucky numbers. These scamsters advise that you could come into a fortune if only you send funds to mail boxes for talismans, golden eggs or fortune telling guides to personal wealth. Or that the psychic will give you a reading or session. And of course, it usually starts with a free reading, "just for you".

For a fee, they will send your lucky numbers, “wish amplifiers”, talisman or other paraphernalia, which will bring you great personal wealth, often through playing lotteries or other games of chance. The talisman are often plastic junk items such as beads or even cards.

The material is normally bulk mailed from overseas thought it appears to be specifically written to you (thousands of others may have been mailed the same request).

If you received a letter from a psychic, please send us a copy! This is only one example of this so-called psychic’s letter. There may be other letters peddling similar useless lucky charms and paraphernalia.

See below for specific scams and see this page for how to try to get a refund and how to stop their emails.

Tell me about it. I think they actually are endorsed by the ptb, to keep the more scientific, genuine ones from becoming recognized. The general public fall for those charlatans, and the more educated people won't even consider looking into these matters.
