Hollywood Psychics Major ripp off and threatens you if you tell them you complain or file a report against them Internet
Hollywood Psychics is a company that sells online "psychic" readings. If you are going through a tough time and you don't want to burden anyone you know, or you actually believe in this stuff, you get what you pay for. And you have to know that most of them don't know crap or can't tell you anything your wise old aunt would know from experience. And you can guess they laugh at you behind your back--all the way to the bank.
But what is staggering is that while they claim they will refund your money if you get someone that is just so bogus that even they can't take your money in good faith--when they tell you to "try someone else," what they really mean is "hook up with another one of our fake psychics using your 'bonus' dollars and when that doesn't work out, we get to keep your money and call what we refunded 'bonus' dollars, which we don't refund." Either way, you pay for absolutely nothing. And do not ever mention that you will tell your friends, complain to the proper agency, or in any way let it be known that their reputation will be tarnished or they will threaten you with a lawsuit.
I suppose there might be a couple of genuine psychics there, but most of them don't know squat. Save your money. If you need to talk with someone, find a good counselor. Hollywood Psychics, like most of these services is a giant fraud. I only wish the federal government would start regulating them and demanding that they prove authticity and carry a license.

You are absolutely correct in everything you say except that you are wrong about there being some genuine psychics.
There are NO genuine psychics, none. They are ALL complete and utter frauds and exist for no other purpose except to scam everyone they can sucker in to their ridiculous scam.
You are right, get your help somewhere that has some chance of working. All they will do is make things worse by stealing your money.
They are indeed laughing at their customers for being so gullible,
I too wish something would be done about them, they are the lowest of the low.

I agree. They used to refund readings...but now that the hourly rate has gone up -- they have so much more to lose. It's easier to refund $5 when the reading is $1/ minute -- but when the rate now translates into close to $180/hr for this bull s**t, they want to hold onto as much as they can. I have reported dropped calls, bad readings, etc., and they will not refund the money or will only give me "partial" credit. They used to offer satisfaction guaranteed -- which was good faith. If one reader didn't connect with you, you could get a refund, on the condition that you not call that reader again, and then try another. To offer this -- with the condition that the caller not abuse the practice or spend half hour - hour on the phone with someone before they realize they are not conecting is a sign of good faith. Sometimes you allow someone to read for 15 minutes, just to see and give them a chance. Now if you do that, you have to understand that its either you or the reader. They can waste as much time as they like, drag out the call with new age nonsense and small talk or just offer you bull s**t and you can't hold them accountable or get a refund.
This is such bull s**t. Hollywood PSychics is screwing clients -- and going by how nasty, bitter their readers are sounding these days, I bet they are screwing their readers as well.
Hollywood psychics had promise once. Now its just another psychic internet scam.
I will not spend another dollar on these frauds.
I am also of the belief that they talk behind clients backs, judge them, and laugh at them. You can "feel" it in the tone of their voices. Why do they ask name and birth date? To compare info with each other....and, of course, use up minutes to get more $$.
What a rip off.
