And plays on people's vulnerabilities?

In other news, water is wet.

Does the Pope shit in the woods? [fsanta]

All psychics are fakes who prey on other people's vulnerabilities.

The email/text version is just a way to get at people's money faster.

I knew you were going to say that.....

ScreamingValenta · 08/12/2017 22:14

YANBU - just someone typing random messages to earn a few extra quid.

WorraLiberty · 08/12/2017 22:15

Oooh that came out as 'f santa'. He's going to be really annoyed with me Xmas Blush

ScreamingValenta · 08/12/2017 22:18

Anna Go to the most suitable topic and select 'start a new thread in this topic'.

DramaAlpaca · 08/12/2017 22:20

Of course it's fake.

How anyone is gullible enough to be taken in by that rubbish is beyond me.

MrsTerryPratchett · 08/12/2017 22:22

Worra's on the naughty list.

It's strange how none of the testimonials ever say 'Psychic Rita was amazing! She told me it was going to be a dull year in which nothing notable happened to me - and she was spot on!'

Ooh, ooh, I've got someone from the spirit world who wants to answer your question, OP. It's a man, he's got name, it begins with a letter - does that ring any bells?

ScreamingValenta · 08/12/2017 23:03

Saskia My great-grandad was a man and had a name beginning with a letter - could it be him?

I remember there was a thread on the Money Saving Expert forum where people were getting text jobs. Some of them got hired as text psychics. Absolutely no skills needed except the ability to be vague and sound a bit mystical.

MyKingdomForBrie · 08/12/2017 23:59

worra grooooaannn

LaBelleSausage · 09/12/2017 00:04

I had a friend at uni who worked as a text psychic.
The only skill required was being a fast typist

DorisDangleberry · 09/12/2017 00:11

I am a psychic

Using my awesome skills I have deducted that the OP has an account on Mumsnet

You now owe me £20

VladmirsPoutine · 09/12/2017 00:15

It's one thing to go visit someone with cards and crystals but really quite another to text a psychic.

I might have a bridge to sell, if anyone's looking....

Really?? The difference is one ripping you off face to face, the other over the internet.
