Complaint Review: Keen

I EMPHATICALLY, TOTALLY AGREE WITH JOE AND THE OTHER TWO POSTINGS.
I CANNOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW VERY VERY TRUE AND CORRECT JOE STATES THE TRUTH . HE SAYS IT ALL, AND THE OTHER TWO ADD THE EXTRA INSIDER'S
INSIGHT AND EXPERIENCE.
DON'T BOTHER CALLING ANY OF THESE PEOPLE!
NONE OF THEM WILL BE RIGHT OR ACCURATE.
JOE IS RIGHT.
AND I THINK THEY ARE ALL SUCH ACTORS.
I COULD WRITE A BOOK, IN DETAILS AND INCLUDING MULTIFARIOUS ASPECTS.
MAYBE I WILL.
DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND EMOTIONS AND ALSO RUN THE RISK OF WRECKING YOUR MIND AND PERSONALITY,TOO.
JOE SAYS IT LIKE IT IS.
BELIEVE ME , I KNOW THIS ALL TO BE VERY TRUE, FROM HARD SHOCKING EXPERIENCE.
'COMMUNE WITH THINE OWN SELF' (PSALMS)

If there would then
1. Bin Laden would have been found
2. The World Trade Center disaster could have been prevented
3. These so called "psychics" could help law enforcement solve murders, find missing children, etc etc
Get real - stop wasting your money on these scammers and use your hard earned money to pay bills, for food, for gas, etc etc
As Forest Gump put it - Stupid is as Stupid does

Yes, I had readings from her and spent a lot of money. I'm embarrassed to say how much. She filled me with hope about an ex and provided lots of detailed predictions. Not one of those predictions came to pass. In fact, quite the opposite occurred. You can tell from her feedback that her clients are addicted because she takes mostly repeat callers. She fills them with hope and they keep calling back several times per week because they are hanging on to false hope. She is not a true or ethical psychic. Shame on her.

I'll tell your fortune right now, right here and that is if you talk to people you do not know who claim to be "psychics" on the phone, you will PAY a LOT for advice that is marginal at best and possibly harmful if you are discussing medical,mental health or financial matters.

I AM NOT A PSYCHIC AND I AM NOT GIVING PSYCHIC ADVICE. I AM GIVING COMMON SENSE ADVICE.

Sometimes these psychic hotlines rook you in with so many minutes FREE.

They have a FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES ONLY disclaimer.

You can not sue these people for bad advice in a Court of law with much Credibility because more than likely, eyebrows will be raised, and smiles will curl mouths that are struggling not to laugh and sneer, and eyes will roll ceilingward, and more than likely you will be gavelled out of the Courtroom ---unless you can PROVE that you were defrauded out of your life savings or other substantial sums of money -- which HAS happened to the unwary-- or other financial harm has befallen you for relying on this alleged bad advice.

But laws vary from state to state and to see if you can get damages, you will need to get legal advice from an attorney who is licensed to practice law in your state if you want civil damages and present your evidence to a law enforcement agency/District Attorney's office if you want to pursue criminal charges.

You will probably be ridiculed and regarded as some sort of nut who needs a court-appointed guardian to manager their financial affairs and you MIGHT be awarded damages or not but there MAY be the matter of contributory negligence --for neglecting to check out just who it was you were giving your money to and what you were receiving in exchange for it and whether or not the advice when considered by a reasonable and prudent person was believable or even plausible.

Again, you will have to consult an attorney who is licensed by the bar in your state for competent legal advice. I am not an attorney so I do not give legal advice.

For sure, you will be asked,"Didn't you KNOW any better?" by someone.

The Press will have fun at your expense as they always seem to do in these situation.

There are often city ordinances against "fortune telling" for a reason.

Most people tend to be ashamed that they resorted to purveyors of purported supernatural advice so they keep their losses to themselves and it is exactly this sort of silence and shame that the purveyors of the purported supernatural advice count on so they can continue to ply their trade to the gullible, the frightened, friendless, lost, dependent,confused,naive and curious without anyone taking legal action against them.

BUT IF YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO SPEND TALKING TO SOMEONE,GO FOR IT,BY ALL MEANS AND I DO MEAN A LOT OF MONEY FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON THE RIP-OFF REPORT ABOUT PERSONS WHO CLAIM TO BE VICTIMS OF ALLEGED PSYCHIC HOTLINES.

THESE OPERATE ALL OVER THE WORLD, INCIDENTALLY.

IT IS YOUR MONEY AND YOUR DECISION.

IF YOU READ THIS AND MAKE AN INFORMED DECISION TO CALL A 900-"PSYCHIC" HOTLINE ANYWAY, I DO NOT WANT TO READ YOUR OH SO SAD STORY WHEN YOU COME BACK POSTING PATHETIC "I WAS SCAMMED" TALES OF WOE ON RIP OFF REPORT CAUSE "THEY" TOOK ALL OF MY LIFE SAVINGS,COLLEGE TUITION, ETC. & ETC.
AND BOO h*o h*o. BECAUSE YOU WERE WARNED.

If you one of these "Phoneline Psychics" writing in and pretending to be a caller, I hope you are doing well.I really do. You probably will in these scary times of economic Depression and FEAR running rampant in the streets. Everyone is entitled to make a living the best way they can. If you can do well in this work, in good conscience, then ROCK ON!

I am not directing these remarks against YOU personally, just telling interested persons what I know about 900-Psychic Hotlines IN GENERAL.

Maybe you run your business with more sensitivity and I AM NOT REFERRING TO ANY SPECIFIC OPERATION BY NAME OR THE PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THEM UNDER VARIOUS ALIASES BY NAME EITHER.


I had associates who once worked for a now - defunct Psychic Hotline I will not name here. They were needing money to go to school and pay for their books,tuition and rent. They were DRAMA majors.

They had NO psychic ability whatsoever.

In fact, the ad that they responded to only specified that they should like to talk on the telephone for long period of times and the longer, the better.

The person who interviewed them gave them scripts for people classified on their ages, ethnicities, genders ( which are always overwhelming female for some reason), races ...and you get the idea... the generalities always seemed to apply to the person who called and so they would be convinced that the psychic was telling their future.

The secret is, when the person would first call, the "psychic"on the other end would start by saying," I see a white female person who is about 25 years old...I will have to get on your wavelength, mesh with your vibes," etc. or give them some excuse to find the appropriate script and then the races are on.. the race to see how long they can keep you on the phone because their pay is determined for the most part about how long they can keep you on the phone,,, the longer you talk, the better.... and all they care about is keeping you talking on the phone. The more stuff you confide to them, the more ammunition they have to keep you talking on that phone because YOU ARE BEING BILLED BY THE MINUTE! (Even lawyers only bill by the HOUR!)

While the people on the phone are pouring out their hearts and revealing their deepest desires, hopes, dreams and wishes, these FAKE"psychics" are probably on their couch eating candy, kicking back by the pool or doing laundry or even changing diapers and all the time facilitating the conversation to keep the person TALKING,TALKING,TALKING,TALKING and maybe they have a mystical, soothing New Age music playing the background or not to make them seem more credible.

Sometimes,the callers have gone to sleep before they hung up their phone and the dollars parade on. The counter is ticking, folks and those dollars are ADDING up to BIG profits for the Hotline.

The minutes fly by as the people who call are flattered, told what they want to hear, asked open-ended questions by people who appear to have all the time in the world to listen to you --AS LONG AS YOU ARE PAYING FOR IT!

My friends' consciences began to bother them and they don't do this anymore.

They also worked for the XXX-Adult Entertainment Services 900- number at the same time, the flip side of the same phone operation ( They were known as "TELEPHONE ACTRESSES" ) so they might have some person wanting adult conversation calls followed immediately by alleged "psychic adviser Hotline" calls.

(Back to the person who purports to be a questioner about using a specifically named "Psychic Adviser" or whatever that phone service calls them IF you are really questioning):

The only person who basically cares about YOUR PROBLEMS who REALLY CARES about your problems and can do something about them is YOU !

If you want to check out the Occult, just go down to your friendly Occult book store and buy yourself a deck of Tarot cards and learn to read them IF you want to delve in the so-called Supernatural. You will save yourself a LOT of money.

I AM NOT SAYING THAT THE PARTICULAR PERSON YOU NAMED IS A FRAUD,FAKER OR LACKS IN PSYCHIC ABILITY.

I DO NOT KNOW HER.

JUDGING WHETHER OR NOT ANYONE HAS ACTUAL PSYCHIC ABILITY IS SUBJECTIVE AT BEST AND I ADMIT I AM A SKEPTIC.

BOTH MEN AND WOMEN WORK THESE PHONE HOTLINES.

IT IS YOUR MONEY BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW HOW IT WORKS WHEN YOU CALL THESE FOLKS.

DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT A PSYCHIC. I AM NOT A DISPENSER OF PSYCHIC ADVICE. IF YOU WANT PSYCHIC ADVICE,REAL PSYCHICS ARE DIFFICULT TO FIND, EXTREMELY SELECTIVE WITH THEIR CLIENTELE AND DO NOT WORK ON THE PHONE THAT TAKE ALL CALLERS AND CHARGE BY THE MINUTE!

I AM ALSO NOT A LAWYER. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. BUT WHEN LAWYERS LEARN TO BILL BY THE MINUTE LIKE THESE 900-TELEPHONE NUMBERS DO, LOOK OUT!
