Psychic Scams: 3 Ways To Avoid A Con Artist

By Tana Hoy

A psychic can help people in a various number of ways. Since the time of our ancestors, psychics have always been sought for general guidance and enlightenment. However, amidst the popularity and demand for psychic these days, we cannot deny the fact that not all psychic practitioners are indeed real psychics.

The fact is, there are really quite a few people who just pretend to be psychic and they will just take advantage of you and your money. So to steer clear of these con artists, here are three points you need to keep in mind before investing in one of the many psychic services:

3 Safety Tips to Stay Away from Con Artists

Tip #1: SEEK FOR A REFERRAL FROM PEOPLE THAT YOU KNOW

The easiest way to stay clear of scammers is to ask for a referral for a psychic from people close to you. You can ask your friends or family members if they can recommend a very good psychic. You can never go wrong with psychics that are "tested and proven" by the people you know.

Tip #2: AMPLE RESEARCH IS ALWAYS A PLUS

If ever you cannot get any referrals from the people that you know, you can also search for psychics on your own. Searching for a psychic is virtually very easy these days. Local telephone directories will definitely have a lengthy list of psychics. But a quicker way is to go online and search on the internet. In just a couple of clicks, you will be presented a global directory of psychics. But just a reminder, always bear in mind to do a back ground check on psychics that you are short listing. Take a look at the variety of their services, how they execute these services, their methods of payment, and if they have any reliable personal references they can cite to prove their authenticity. Remember, real psychics are in it to help you in any way they can. So typically, the websites of these genuine psychics will normally have enough information you need to completely know about them and what they offer.

Tip# 3: STAY ON THE SAFE SIDE BY GOING WITH YOUR INTUITION

Everyone is born with a psychic side. Therefore, we all have an innate intuitive ability that can help us when we make decisions. Having faith in you intuition basically means relying on your instincts. You will know if you have decided on the right psychic (not to mention a genuine one) because you will usually feel good about your decision. However, if you're having negative vibes, or a very bad feeling about choosing a particular psychic, don't gamble -- crush out that option and move on to your other alternate options because odds are, your intuition may be right!

In general, a psychic can help us to have a better outlook in life with their sound advice. However, it's always wise to always be alert and on the look out for phony psychics who are just out there to use you for the profit and mislead you.
