How to Spot a Fake Online Psychic

If there is one branch of e-commerce which is booming beyond anyone’s wildest imaginations it is the arena in which an online psychic operates. Although it might be controversial and risky, practicing the profession online and using it as a source of income is a thought which does not sound as bizarre today as it did a decade ago. This led to the entry a number of quacks in the profession which is why an individual seeking psychic services on the Internet is always a susceptible victim to fake psychics.

In such a situation, there are certain yardsticks which can be used for judging the authenticity of the person on the other end, which are discussed as follows:

• Birthday – Everyone nowadays is cognizant with zodiac signs and all it takes is to ask the date of the birth of the person in order to sketch his character details. This task is easier than imagined and definitely does not require the expertise of an online psychic. Hence, a psychic who asks for this specific piece of information is a fake since he would probably use this information either to draw a personality chart or to extract predictions from astrological magazines.

• Unrealistic predictions – While a good psychic would be honest with you about your future, a fake would tell you exactly what you want to hear. Chances are high that they would simply paint a rosy picture in order to please the client which has no bearing on the real situation and when back tracked, such psychics are difficult to trace as well.

• Making use of spells and curses – An online psychic who explains your rough patch as being the result of a curse is definitely a fake because he is just trying to incite money by awakening a fear of unknown. Moreover, people seek psychic help to plan their future and not to clear a curse and therefore this line of reasoning is unethical and unwarranted.
