95% percent of psychics are frauds

I feel you can get better readings by pulling cards digitally for your self from sites like ifate.com.

aquagirl:
people who make these types of statements usually have unrealistic expectations and truly don't understand how all of this works. While, yes there are frauds out there, I wouldn't say its as high as you think. It depends on where you're going as well.

Truthfromrosie:
Given the thousands and thousands upon thousands of people offering psychic services, I think 95% is actually likely to be a pretty accurate figure of how many do not possess the kind/level of ability that they tell their customers that they do. Unrealistic expectations (if at all) are borne out of the unrealistic portrayal given by these people as to what they’re able to do.

I think that is fair to say, yes. Almost everyone who does this for money is a fraud. It's a bit sad as well. Many of these readers seem to exploit a clients anxiety and feed them lines that could potentially keep them returning. For people that binge, readings are very addictive and a strange drug. Getting some sort of positive affirmation from someone you believe to have the ability to 'see the future' gives your brain that quick hit of dopamine and, if you're not careful, will quickly suck you in. I've been doing this for 6 or 7 years now, and I can safely say MOST people who do this as a career are completely and totally fake. It's not hard to cold read someone, to infer the nature of a situation based on the question asked, the way it is asked, etc. I've also seen readers who straight up google people. That being said, there's still two readers who I do believe are absolutely real and have told me things past present and future that no one could have possibly known. I've tried tricking them both with burner numbers, fake names, fake emails, with holding specific information and they both have left me legitimately shocked. So... is it fake? No, it's real. The problem is it's really hard to find the people that are real but I'm glad I did. Example, I would've gotten into some serious legal hot water if it hadn't been Cookie randomly telling me that I would be sued for unpaid debts. I had never asked about it, or even thought about it, but then it happened and played out exactly as she stated. Had it not been for her informing me of that, I wouldn't have been prepared by going into consolidation and having a lawyer ready. There's no way she could've possibly known this, not even I had known this.

It's real, if that's an consolation. But, yeah 95% fake. I'd go a step farther and say 99%.

And no, flipping digital cards isn't going to give you any sort of accurate insight. Those are completely generated by a random script.

Literally agree with with every, single thing you’ve said, including the real ones- there have been a few times (amongst hundreds or even thousands) that I’ve been blown away by something specific that the person just couldn’t possibly have known, so I know it’s real- just much rarer and very different than almost all would have you believe. And yeah-random digital cards aren’t going to get you anywhere.
