Complaint Review: Kasamba

These rates are truly ridiculous. Not only do you have to fork over $20/min, but they aren't even accurate readings. these people are such a joke!

Since any US Federal agency is pretty potent such as the IRS - if they were to receive numerous complaints, there is a chance they might take a look at the records. Since only a year ago they started with the W9's they might wonder was the previous years taxes paid (lots of penalty and interest) - they may alert state tax agencies to see if they are getting their share - they may look at each reader and audit their tax forms against other income, they may check to see how many foreign country readers are taking money out of the country and if any needs to be paid to the US since Live Person is in NYC - there is a myriad of rules and all it takes is some interest on their part if they think they can recoup money. Also the legality of psychic services on the web in each State. With Gov Spitzer of NY having to resign due to the IRS being notified of some suspicious bank transactions - once the IRS was notified of the transactions they did an indepth tracking of the money. Of course I dont know if they would be interested - but if there is a chance they feel money is not being rightfully paid into the gov't's coffers you just dont know.
What's intestering and I dont know the answer - is since the readers claim they are providing a service covered by entertainment only - it is an entertainment service we purchase - does that leave us open to having to pay a sales tax? If you buy a book or movie you pay sales tax....

My IRS posts are not narrowed down to just the kasamba website. My IRS posts are for "any" psychic with "any" website that have rippped off their clients with the bogus buying of spells, candles, hex and curse removals, etc. We all know that kasamba experts will take clients offsite to perpetuate this kind of fraud. They are directed to contact the psychics off site and/or directed to personal websites, personal emails, or instant messages. This is when they start asking for the monies for these kinds of fraudulent things. So, I am not wrong. I am sure when experts are doing their scams with spells, hex removals, etc. they would prefer to keep 100 percent of the monies collected thus taking the client offsite to do so. Like I said the IRS posts are not narrowed down to just "Kasamba".

Toni, I am not narrowing what I am saying down to the kasamba website. I am talking about "any" psychic from "any" site who have ripped people off with bogus spellwork, candle buying, hex removals, etc. This is information for "anyone" who have been ripped off with the classic gypsy scam. They can get help from the IRS and do not have to feel like they are totally helpless. If this does not pertain to kasamba thats ok but it can be used with those readers who take clients offsite and direct them to another website.

It does pertain to readers who take clients off of the kasamba site to lure them into this sort of thing and thats the "classic gyspy con game." Now that does happen. This is not strictly for "Kasamba."

actually Karen I have to correct you there,, If a peron works on kasamba they are in fact paying taxes because kasamba has manditory w9 forums. for the united states and canada's verson of taxation.. In other countries they have to do the same. They started that a year ago. any one who refused to give their tax id info was removed from teh site.

So The IRS will ignore any complaints because the experts pay taxes and they will direct you toa consumer affairs place like the BBB

Reporting these things to the IRS will do some good. They are not paying taxes these rip off artists and the IRS will help you recoup your money back. So yes, complaing to theim with a LEGITIMATE complaint in regard to being ripped off with the classic Gypsy scam is a good idea. Gyspy psychic scams dot com. There is some information there. You can report them to the IRS AND BBB. Both agencies WILL take action but as you said 99% of the claims here are not legitimate.

You are a sick sick woman!

Now your going to be all over this site reposting "karen" posts. WOW! That's sick obsessive behavior! I feel very very sorry for you at this point Janice. I really do. I really do feel bad for you because now I realize you really cannot help nor control yourself. Your brain does not have the capacity to stop obsessing over things. You definately have some sort of chemical embalance going on. Its quite sad.

After this I am not going to respond to your repostings and Karen obsession because "NOW" I understand the severity of the fact that you really cannot help yourself. I have become the focus of your latest obsession disguised as "trying to expose" me for what "YOU" think I am just like your obsession with kasamba. I really feel sorry for you at this point. I am now struck with a deep sense of sadness for you because now its clear that you are seriously disturbed and having all the degrees in the world and being able to form sentences does not make you sane.

On that note Ms. Duffy, post on because by doing that you are getting some degree of inner satisfaction which settles (to a degree) the embalance of your brain . If that brings some kind of joy into your life then by all means please continue and post whatever you like. I won't be mad at you now that I understand its a serious necessity for you, and a psychological sickness that you have no control over at the moment.

Wow, I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR YOU! REALLY REALLY SORRY FOR YOU! GOOD LUCK AND HAVE FUN.

The only thing the IRS will look at is if an expert is paying taxes. And thats if they live in the United States. So complaining to them will not do any good. But complaining to the BBB would get things check out. Problem is 90% of these post are lying BS so they wont get reported any where but here!

Now Karen is advocating people report Kasamba experts to the IRS. Of course they have to be the correct type of victims according to her criteria. Talk about two-faced.


(JANICE THAT IS NOT "MY" CRITERIA THAT IS THE CRITERIA OF THE IRS!! THEY WILL NOT INVESTIGATE COMPLAINTS OF "PREDICTIONS NOT COMING TO PASS!!" THE ONLY MISGUIDED PERSON OUT HERE IS YOU!! NO VICTIM FROM THE UNITED STATES SHOULD DEPEND ON A PERMA VICTIM FROM AUSTRALIA TO GET HELP FOR THEMSELVES!! THE IRS IS BASED IN THE UNITED STATES AND ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN RIPPED OFF FROM A PSYCHIC IN THE UNITED STATES SHOULD GO TO THEM, FOR HELP AND NOT YOU!! THE IRS POSTINGS PERTAIN TO "ANY" VICTIM WHO HAVE BEEN RIPPED OFF BY "ANY" PSYCHIC ON "ANY" SITE WHO HAVE BLATANTLY RIPPED THEM OFF WITH BOGUS SPELLWORK, CURSE AND HEX REMOVALS, AURA CLEANSINGS, CANDLE BUYING, ETC!!

THEY WANT THESE KIND OF VICTIMS TO COME TO "THEM" FOR "REAL" HELP! THEY HAVE A FORM THAT CAN BE FILLED OUT PERTAINING TO THIS VERY ISSUE!!! THIS DOES NOT ONLY PERTAIN TO KASAMBA PSYHICS!! YOUR POSTINGS ONLY SHOW WHAT YOUR OBSESSION IS AND THAT WOULD BE ME, KASAMBA, ROR REPORTS, AND ANYONE WHO SEE'S YOU FOR WHAT YOU REALLY ARE!!

NO UNITED STATES VICTIMS SHOULD ALIGN THEMSELVES WITH YOU PERIOD!!! NOW YOU ARE PICKING A FIGHT WITH TONI AND SHE HAS SAID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO YOU UNTIL NOW AND I DOUBT SHE WOULD WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH YOU OR CARE WHAT YOU SAY FOR THAT MATTER! YEAH, SIT BACK AND TAKE NOTES FROM THE POSTS! GREAT IDEA! )

It really is too time consuming and pointless.

I noticed that my consumer comment that Susan McDowell alias Susan from South Hampton alias Mary Anne from Wyoming was posted.

It was a copy of her acceptance as an expert on Kasamba. She of course was the person who posted about me being a psychic stalker.

However, she contradicted herself many times in the posts. So much for her credibility.

Karen from Henderson also contradicts herself. Someone posted about her firstly saying taking legal recourse was stupid and then she recommended it.

Then of course there was the criticism of Debbie going to the IRS and then she recommends it.

Finally here is a little post she made sometime ago about publishing details about an expert, in this case the real name of Angels for You. Yet, she clearly has no problem with people publishing my name and other details about me.

Karen
Henderson, North Carolina

Necessary

Some of these postings about these readers are starting to sound like people who have 'personal' gripes with these readers. Many will deny this is the case but instead will say they are ripped off clients. I am sure that some that post are in fact just and only that, but when you read some of these posts it becomes quite obvious as to whom are the biter ex clients of these readers and whom are the actual ripped off clients.

Jenny your starting to sound like a ex friend of this woman or a ex disgruntled client. There is absolutely no reason you should be out here saying her real name is Ann or that she's a fat cow.

Note the last sentence. Then read what she has written about me over the months as well as others.

So you are rid of me again. I shall of course read the posts for information but really it is pointless posting as it takes away time from my original intention: To finish the report.

All I can say is as far as credibility goes, Susan from South Hampton and Karen from Henderson have absolutely none.

Toni, you say Friend's husband has been asked to provide proof on several occasions. Why on earth would he want to break the anonymity of this woman on a rag site like this as you put it.

I notice that you did not ask Mary Ann/Susan for proof about some of the things she said about me in the comments of the original post. For example, she said right now she is laid off from her job because she cannot cope with her reality. I notice you didn't ask Karen for proof that I was Friends Husband. This shows me you are not exactly impartial as you claimed in the post.

I am so used to being attacked that it actually doesn't bother me anymore. I have been accused of being RobinBlueDragon, Iris the Messenger and probably the daughter of Satan. My ONLY interest in ROR is gaining more leads for information to finish my report. Yes, there is a report and yes I have substantial damning evidence. I am hoping to finish it over Easter.

I only became involved in this thread because Karen said I was Friend's Husband. I am not but thanks to Mary Anne/Susan's rants I am actually in contact with him. It is ridiculous to ask him to provide proof on a site like this. He has every right to post here to warn people. But ultimately any decisions pertaining to the woman who passed are made by her family. Is that not obvious.

Karen is seriously a few sandwiches short of a picnic. There is no fight'. A reading of her posts over a eight month period shows that Karen appears to devote her life to trashing people on ROR (including, but not limited to me). She has made a lot of false accusations,

If you scan her posts it is obvious that she change sher views regularly. Why? Ir just depends if she hates someone. In Report: #262019, on 9/3/2007 Debra from Utica, Michigan suggested that dissatisfied clients Report Kasamba to the IRS. Karen's direct reply was SIGHS PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!!! KASAMBA THIS, KASAMBA THAT! SIGHS! This was a sarcastic reply to Debra's suggestion. Now Karen is advocating people report Kasamba experts to the IRS. Of course they have to be the correct type of victims according to her criteria. Talk about two-faced.

I may still be working on putting this report together (hopefully to be finished over Easter) but I have a life, am not full of hate and apart from the odd outburst I do not spend my life writing venom about people. I say Karen is stupid because she actually cannot understand that it is blatantly obvious that she is off the wall. I actually spend my days writing research that will help people. At the moment I am writing on interventions for those with multiple chronic diseases.

I am upfront about why I am posting here. Karen is here because I guess she has nothing else in her life. Susan from South Hampton is an expert posing as a disgruntled client. Freya is obviously chrisyp, But who are you. What gives you the right to say to someone that he has been asked several times to provide proof. I guess that shows us which side of the fence you sit.

Anyone associated with Karen (and that means you) is not taken very seriously because it is so obvious that she is a total headcase, I mean duhhhh the guy is REALLY NOT going to post obit information because Karen or you or anyone else for that matter ask for it, So think what you like but don't expect any proof any time soon....or credibility. I can tell you this because the Friend's husband and I have worked out a way to include the situation in the report wihtout compromising the legal processes,

belie what you want - but don't try the impartiality approach with me because it doesn't work - not from anyone to do wih Karen.

Well answering these things takes too much time when i could be working oin the report so ?I think from now on i will just take notes from the posts,

Thank You Toni, Well said! Something is wrong with Janice. She insists on keeping up this ROR fight with me. I am not paying her any mind. So she can post, b***h, moan, and name call all day long for all I care. I have been accused by these sicko's of looking for "friends' on this site. How ridiculous is that? That goes to show that those who posted that nonsense are the ones looking for friends on a ROR website. ROR recycles threads too. Sighs. This is a old one.

ANYONE WHO HAS BEEN RIPPED OFF BY PSYCHIC SCAM ARTISTS WITH SPELLWORK, HEXES, REMOVAL OF CURSES, CANDLE BUYING, ETC. PLEASE CONTACT THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE. THEY ARE INTERESTED IN THESE PEOPLE AND WILL INVESTIGATE!! THEY HAVE A FORUM THAT CAN BE FILLED OUT, ALSO A WEBSITE IN WHICH YOU CAN GO TO TO OBTAIN THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE CONTACT NUMBER. REMEMBER TO FILE POLICE REPORTS WITH YOUR LOCAL POLICE STATION AS WELL THE POLICE STATION IN WHICH THE PSYCHIC RESIDES. YOU WILL MOST LIKELY GET FASTER AND REAL HELP THIS WAY THAN ADDING INFORMATION TO SOME "REPORT BEING COMPILED".

This does NOT pertain to psychic predictions not coming to pass.

I am not sticking up for Karen but Janice you said
"You are stupid and unable to make objective judgements because you and so full of hate."
Couldn't this also be said for the person who started this post.
Several time this person has been asked to show us some kind of press release that shows this woman died.. Like an obit.

Now if this was really true that she killed herself just based on what someone at kasamba said then the tabloids would at have aired that story long ago..

No lawyer would take a wrongful death case like this because .. Why? they would have to prove that she killed herself based on this expert.. and unless she said In chat." I am going to kill myself" and the expert said " you have fun with that" there is no liability here

kasamba's policies states that they are not responsabily for the advice. Due to their policies they cant release the transcripts but if things are as this person says getting a court order would be no problem.

I am not saying anything bad about this woman, the poster who posted or Janice. Hey I don't know maybe a women did kill herself. But there would have to have been alot more then just a psychic and false hope to drive her to that and so far we have seen no evidence that any one has died.

The other funny thing about this and all post about kasamba on ROR and kasamba experts is that it isnt hurting anyone. Its helping them. its helping kasamba

people look at all these post and say well hhmm what is this kasamba about and then they go there make their own choices based on what they see and become a client..

If this complaint is real I want to see that the BBB is investigationg it. Not see it slandered on ROR.

A person who is able to think logicaly looks at these post and says well " so in so have 6 people complaining about her on ROR but she has 4000 ratings" hhhmm so maybe she isnt that bad.
See 6 complaints out of 4000 isnt enough to warrent a warning..

All that is being done is people are posting here.. making them self look odd.. venting a little but basicly doing nothing to fix the problems they are complaining about because posting it here is doing nothing... advertising for kasamba and giving the owner of ROR more google hits when the name is searched.. out side of that your basicly doing nothing important with this.

So my advice.. and i'll give it for free, take this to a place that will actually do something and stop advertising for the people you claim to hate so much because hey. Thanks to this post I am sure you just made the expert a few more thousand.

Maybe we all should think more before posting on a rag site like this because basicly thats all any of this is!

You reek of venom and you don't care who you hurt. You are stupid and unable to make objective judgements because you and so full of hate. I think that is a fair assessment of you Karen. But I think the worse thing about you is you haven't got either a life or a soul..

No one is dead. This suicide post reeks of lie, lie, lie!
Readers SHOULD be warned against Janice. I know from the other post by 'friends husband' that this is Janice. Know how I know? Because the way she spewed venom against 'Karen' and it was the wrong Karen. I am the karen that kept calling her out against her lunacy on this board! If it was just a 'husband' persay there would of not been that much venom and ugliness against 'Karen' unless the person has been resonding to my posts in the past. You know when you look beyond the surface you see whats really there.

BTW Janice you have NO case against kasamba or live person and you know it.
The only recourse you have left is to make up false identities and stories and post to this site. This is the ONLY attention you are recieving right now especially since you said in another post that are sitting at home with a broken rib.

There are some of us intelligent enough NOT to be easily fooled by all this nonsense. Use your common sense when reading the original post. This is SUPPOSEDLY the 2nd suicide (that I have read) due to a false psychic reading. Come on now!

I can verify that they definately edit ratings as they have changed one of my own. In another instance I left a derogatory statement about one reader and they deleted it.

Kasamba say they take no responsibility for the advice "experts" give out however when Kasamba is manipulating the ratings to suit themselves, surely Kasamba must take some responsibility.

I had one reading with this so called psychic based. It was actually about a work situation and she turned out to be very wrong.

But the dear woman who committed suicide had many many readings both on and off Kasamba with this person.

This woman got caught up in all the BS that SunShiningUponU spun as she was having issues with a man.

SunShiningUponU said they were destined to be together then he married someone else.

The woman based her faith on the ratings. In fact, she kept saying in emails to Friend's Husband's wife "look at what so and so said about Sun-so of course she HAS to be right with me".

The insistence by this charlatan that they would be together occurred over quite a long period of time - more than a year and of course the woman who passed spent a lot of money on these readings.

Until I read these reports I didn't know that Kasamba allowed psychics to wite their own ratings or that Kasamba altered ratings.

So the point is that Kasamba is allowing these people to give false impressions about the ability of the psychics can and does have tragic CONSEQUENCES.

The family's legal firm has q lot of written evidence that point to the invovement of this so called psychic in the woman's death. all the transcripts emails, bank statements etc.

They have transcripts, emails, and a journal written by the woman as well as a suicide note.

It is possible to get the real name of the psychic from Kasamba by court order so I wonder if it is possible to get the names of the people who rated her or at least to find out some way if the ratings were done written by her or her friends.

It will all come out eventually. As you know these things take time and it is, of course, up to the family.

Something needs to be done about this firm. As I read more and more it becomes clearer that vast numbers of people are being really hurt as well as ripped off

My wish is for SunShiningUponU to be exposed so she can be stopped. She appears to have this way of sucking people in by acting so excited that they have found their soulmate and so happy for them. But it is just a matter of time and they will live happily ever after. That is her modus operandi - and to predict a future of happiness for the person as soon as things come together.

Of course when the predictions don't work out she blocks the client and/ortells them it doesn't happen because it is their fault but apparently that is a common ploy.

She appears not to care about the client once she is confronted with the fact that the predictions did not eventuate and dumps them. There are few words that I can write strong enough to describe the evil in such a woman.

I have seen some of of the communications and SunShiningUponU says she saves time for prayer everyday, yet she writes that someone has too myth hate in them to be loved (imputing that is why the man married someone else).

If she has friends it's easy enough to make that crap up just to boost the ratings. It's simple really. Register. Gab for a bit. Rate excellent. Heck she could do this for herself if she wanted to. It's easy enough to do and definately not monitored.

I wouldn't rely on those ratings as the gospel. Seems as though some out there do just what I mentioned above.

You can write all the nasty posts that you want but the fact remains that a woman committed suicide because of SunShiningUponU.

I am a relative of the wife of 'Friend's Husband'.

I too had a reading with this woman that turned out to be wrong.

The woman who passed spent a lot of money and SunShiningUponU PROMISED her predictions would come to pass. We have the transcripts. So do the legal firm that is representing the family.

Friend's Husband has an email from Kasamba Support telling him they do not give out details about experts unless it is by court order.

It is not up to me to make that decision but from what I am told the family is NOT going to let this go.

The family may pursue a wrongful death case or just give it to the media. One thing is for sure it WILL be revealed in due course.

The legal firm representing the family have all the details-transcripts, a suicide note and SunShiningUponU should be very worried.

Maybe you had better prepare to be a character witness in the future for this so called psychic. Of course that would mean revealing your identity.

This so-called psychic didn't even care that she caused the death of this woman - she just wanted the money.

It will ALL come out when the time is right.

The so-called psychic has also changed her profile since she took the hiatus from Kasamba (the day after Friend's Husband informed her his wife's friend had passed). That indicates perhaps she is a little worried.

SunshiningUponU is a greedy, self-interested fraud and the truth WILL come out. The wheels are already in motion. She must be stopped from hurting people and her true identity must be revealed.

Y0u can be her supporter if you like but you'll be clinging on to a sinking ship!!!!

I also had several reads with her more than a year ago - they were also completely wrong - none of the predicted events in any arena of life played out. So I am glad to see I am not the only one. I just do not get it, I see these fabulous reviews, with comments as to predictions coming true (not just for this reader) and then for me - nothing. I truly do not get it, can it be most of the client feedback is wrong or about fairly logical predictions such as a fight with an existing boyfriend and the reader predicts he will call....which is a pretty safe bet.
This site has at least given me comfort that I am not the only one.

I had a read with Sun and she told me my relationship would develop further with a man and named two months which were relevant to us being on our way to committment.

The first month she gave, we actually broke up. The second month she gave, I started seeing someone else.

So this is proof to me that Sun's accuracy is highly questionable.

Otherwise you would have noticed that several other clients have said SunShiningUponU was wrong with them.

Why don't you read the posts and see how many clients have said she was wrong.

Your abusive tone is unnecessary and if we are talking Karma, well you are the pathetic loser in that department.

As for the legal action that is for the woman's family to pursue.

What business is it of your what Sun charges? Good for her if she charges $20 a minute. You wish you could. Kasamba is lucky that she even reads on that lame site filled with psycho fake a*s psychics like yourself that go around slandering genuine ones.

Sunshininguponu is one of the most gifted psychics - not only on the net - but in the WORLD. She has predicted things that NO ONE HAS EVER even come close to predicting for me. She has blown me away time and time again and has NEVER ever once given me anything but the most genuine and accurate information and advice. She is a special lady, few and far between. I will go on record with my name if I have to, to defend her - that is how good she is - and how pathetic and full of nonsense you are.

What I really want to know what is so wrong with you and your life? What is so wrong that you are so full of jealousy, envy and evil that you would make up some fabricated story about one of the kindest most genuine readers out there? What is wrong with you that you have this much darkness inside of your soul that drives you to do something like this? That's what you need to think about. Seriously.

No client of Sun's will ever believe this garbage you are spewing and have been spewing on this site. In fact, it is defamation, slander and libel. In more laymen terms it's utter bullshit. These accusations are so laughable and that's obvious to anyone with even half a brain. "Friends husband", yeah ok dude, like some dead ladies friends husband is going to have all this info about the dramas of various psychics on Kasamba and post about it obsessively on this site. What a dumb a*s you are.

This is a smear campaign motivated by jealousy. Whatever. God takes care of your type. You shall not escape karma nor it's wrath. Loser.
