To think this psychic woman is a twat

There's a local Facebook group for people to ask questions or whatever and a lady posted with some details about a dead person that has apparently contacted her.
She charged £50 an hour and clearly is just trying to get business.
I said I disagreed with it and she replies
"Wow abinob I'm suprised you think I'm a lying cheating scumbag!"
Hmm well yes I do think that but that's not what I said, I just said in reply to someone else saying giving so much detail makes it believable that there's such a thing as Google and Facebook

YANBU she is a conning bitch and I'm amazed psychics are allowed to trade.

DH's cousin is one (allegedly) and 2 weeks after my dad (who she never met or saw a picture of) had died, she tried it on me saying he had a message for me, and I should 'pop along to her shop' Hmm

She also tried to prove her powers by saying me and my dad have the same chin. I couldn't really recall what his chin looked like and never took much notice of mine. When I went to look at a picture, our chins were nothing alike. I do however have identical eyes and nose to him, it's unmistakeable, and if she was so good she'd have pointed that out.

Fucking bitch exploiting my grief. We went NC after that. My example is not terribly bad, but it absolutely added greatly to my grief the fact that someone wanted to to pretend Dad was talking to me when he wasn't. It took me a long time to stop getting angry about it. Psychics are abusive and nasty and mess with people's feelings, if I hear someone is one I judge them as being a massive cunt

She said some big long thing about how I must NEVER question her honesty

And where exactly does she get off, telling you what you mustn't do?? Hmm Angry

I try to keep a reasonably open mind about these things, since there's so much we don't know. One thing I'm pretty sure of, though, is that things won't be guaranteed to happen because you've handed over a wad of cash ...

"Wow abinob I'm suprised you think I'm a lying cheating scumbag!"

Thats because she knows she IS a lying cheating scumbag. And she knows you know, and she knows a lot of us know. And it makes her feel like the shitty little con artiste that she is.
You don't need to be psychic to know that.

YNBU. She's using someone's grief and coming out with probably a load a BS as a way to make money, and £50 per hour. . She is a scumbag.
It's actually a sin to make money out of a spiritual gift, so God will be wanting a word. I imagine.

Thank you Venus, that brings clarity.

LunaLoveg00d · 23/07/2016 17:58

She's not psychic as there is no such thing. Con-woman would be the polite way of putting it.

CuboidalSlipshoddy · 23/07/2016 18:04

One psychic skill is finding dead threads to resurrect. Who says ouija boards don't work?

gamerchick · 23/07/2016 18:05

Heh venus do you know what I'm about to do re your spammy posts just now? I'll give you 3 guesses Wink

cosmicglittergirl · 23/07/2016 18:13

Heh

Andrewofgg · 23/07/2016 18:33

Anyone who believes that another person is psychic is a twat.

You can revive a zombie thread, but what about me? Cos that spelling just killed me dead.

CuboidalSlipshoddy · 23/07/2016 18:37

Anyone who believes themself to be s psychic is either stupid or a crook or most commonly both.

wibblewobble8 · 23/07/2016 18:58

meh, there is no more proof for/against psychics than there are religions. As for targetting the bereaved, its no worse than extorting money from anyone else, its still extortion, and victims are still victims. i.e. sending round a letter essentially begging the congregation for money with promises of god looking favourably on you, im sure that works wonders on the elderly

wibblewobble8 · 23/07/2016 19:00

Anyone who believes themself to be s psychic is either stupid or a crook or most commonly both. would you say that to eveyone who believes they are talking to god when they are praying? im neither for or against, but id say religion has a lot fucking more to answer for than psychics, yet that seems to be sociably accepted.
