How to Spot a Fake Psychic in 5 Easy Steps

Expert Author J. R. MacDonell

Did you know that you can spot a fake psychic in five easy steps? It's true. These five scams are the most common tricks that fake psychics use to make their customers believe that they are real. If you know what they are, you'll be able to stay away from these tricksters who want to take your money and do nothing to help you.

Step 1 - The psychic asks you a lot of questions.

Probably the most common trick that fake psychics use is to ask you as many questions as possible. They want to know you birth-date and if you are in a relationship or not. They also want to know this person's name and what your plans are for the future. They ask you where you live and what type of job you have. If they can get you to talk for a while and reveal many things about yourself, this helps them in two ways. They charge you more money because you stay on the psychic chat or phone line longer and you give them enough information that they can need for your "predictions" for the future. Just knowing your age, job, and marital status can be enough for a sly psychic to come up with a good story. Many of the fakes are excellent at restating what you told them in a different way so that it sounds like a revelation from the other side. In reality, they are only telling you what you told them. A real, gifted psychic often only needs to know your name.

Step 2 - The psychic promises to bring back a lost love.

No psychic has the power to control another human. They cannot force a lost love back to you and if they guarantee that they can do that, they are simply lying. The fake psychic is playing on a person's broken heart and pain when they promise this. They give customers false hope. If you happen to reunite with this person, it would have happened anyway but not because of any love spell. An authentic psychic will tell you what you can do to change so that your lover might find you more attractive and return. They may also tell you if he or she is not the right one for you and if the pain will pass soon. Real psychics try to help you reach what is good for you that will make you happy. They might also tell you if you will meet someone special in the future.

Step 3 - The psychic claims that you have negative energy or evil around you and that you need your aura cleansed.

This is another common trick because those who consult the psychic believe that only the psychic can get rid of negative things that are happening in a person's life. This means that the person needs to pay a lot of money to the fake psychic for this service. Desperate people who keep having bad luck may pay to have a hex removed or to get rid of the curse on them. They are willing to pay the psychic if their life will turn around and if good things and good luck can be found. A real psychic will tell you that you have free will and the power to change your luck and your life by changing what you do.

Step 4 - The psychic tells you to call back or get on their psychic chat line for help many times each month.

This is almost a sure sign that a psychic is a fake. This type of reader will try to take all of your money. They are very clever at knowing how to get customers to become dependent on them, especially if a person is going through a rough time in life and is very vulnerable. They take advantage of this situation because they know that the person needs to hear that things that make them feel better, or that they will soon meet their true love. On the other hand, a real psychic may ask you to call back once or twice to work on an issue in your life, but they won't continually do this like the fakes do. If you have not had a chance to discuss a situation thoroughly, a real psychic will often tell you that you can go into it on a deeper level the next time that you call or get online to chat.

Step 5 - The psychic doesn't reveal anything about you that you haven't told them.

Phony psychics have no clue about your future so they are not able to tell you anything. They may fabricate big events for you. The most common one is that you are going to win a lot of money in the lottery. They may tell you to keep contacting them for information that they give you bit by bit. They act like only they know the numbers to play to win and they try hard to convince you that you can become rich through them. In the meantime, you are handing over hundreds of dollars. A real psychic does not give out lottery numbers, or if they do it doesn't happen often. This person is more likely to tell you how you can make a career change to a job that will make you happy and fulfilled.

A psychic reading is beyond doubt the most fun, invigorating and life changing experience you can imagine.

Anyone can have a psychic reading, and by following the tips above, you can to. This can also be a way for you to release the negative energies that are present within and pursue happiness and contentment.
