Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?

This is the most difficult review.  I trusted this psychic hotline for many years. Psychic Katt was my go-to for a long time. Then she started taking my calls while she was clearly drunk. I was afraid to speak out because I didn't want to lose my membership to this hotline of psychics.  But I never felt safe again after one of her slurring drunken readings.

Over time I realized that I wasn't really being given clear messages, nothing she ever said came to fruition.  What did happen is she encouraged me to stay with a man who was constantly cheating and was emotionally abusive to me. She promised me that all would be well.  Now, I realize she was just manipulating me to believe things that were not true. 

She is one of those psychics that tells you what you want to hear in order to get as much money from you as she can.  She kept promising things would get better and they never did. 

Psychic Katt is one of the most frightening psychics.  It was her drunken nature that made me realize two things.  She was a fraud and she was predatory.  Like one of those .99 cent psychics, who keep you talking, and pretends she knows something she really doesn't know at all. 

I want to emphasize this one point.  Once Katt gets her hooks in you, she makes you believe that she is the best psychic at 12listen.  She told me she was the only one on that hotline that knew what they were doing. She manipulated me to believe I should not get readings from anyone else but her.  She isolates you and makes you believe she runs the company.  She made me believe that she had some all-seeing eye.  It was insane the way she began to frighten me. 

Even when she doesn't get things right you want to call her again because she is so confident that, "She Knows." After a while she makes you believe her truth is the truth.  She is a gaslighter.  Her truth becomes your truth. I know she will retaliate against me which is why I am reporting anonymously. She believes she has some kind of magical power and uses it against her enemies. She is a predator. 

She insulted the owner Mark Husson multiple times calling him duplicitous and that he was not the one to talk to, but her, because he was never around anymore. She shared her problems in her personal life, Gary and bla and bla.  She is not at all the kind of person I would ask for support, now.  

Psychic Katt, Kathleen Hall, Kathleen Nicholson, whatever she calls herself this year.  She is not, at all, someone I would ever want to get a reading from again.  She is scary and quite frankly not good at providing anyone with personal advice.  She is a scammer, a predator, and a con.

Thank you, Mark Husson, for reviewing my concern.

The Non-complete and Non-Solicit laws in Colorado have changed.  Katt can work off 12listen if she wants to.  She can work for any company or as many companies or for herself if she wants to and she can take her clients with her. 12listen is based in Colorado.  Mark can't enforce his silly contracts and he can be fined $5,000 for doing so.

https://law.justia.com/codes/colorado/2021/title-8/article-2/part-1/section-8-2-113/

 

On August 10, 2022, Colorado House Bill 22-1317 became law. Following the national trend of limiting employer use of non-compete and non-solicit covenants, Colorado now prohibits the use of non-competes and non-solicits except in the sale of business context and with “highly compensated” workers. The law also provides specific notice requirements and imposes costly penalties for non-compliance. The law’s requirements and penalties are not retroactive. The key requirements of the new law are as follows:

  • Non-Compete Covenants. Under Colorado’s new law, non-competes are only enforceable against “highly compensated” workers, which is defined as an individual earning at, or in excess of, $101,250. Non-competes are void and unenforceable against any worker earning less than $101,250. The earning threshold must exist at the time the covenant is entered into with the worker and at the time the employer seeks to enforce the covenant.
  • Non-Solicit Covenants. Generally, there are two types of non-solicit covenants; those prohibiting customer and/or client solicitation and those prohibiting employee solicitation. Under Colorado’s new law, customer non-solicitation covenants are only enforceable against workers who earn 60% of the “highly compensated” threshold. Currently, that amount is $60,750. Customer non-solicit covenants are void and unenforceable against any worker earning less than $60,750. The law does not reference specific limitations on employee non-solicit covenants.

  • Enforcement and Penalties. The new law imposes penalties for non-compliance. Any employer who enters into, presents to a worker or prospective worker as a term of employment, or attempts to enforce, any void and unenforceable covenant is liable for actual damages and a statutory penalty of $5,000 to the aggrieved worker or prospective worker. Violators are also liable for attorneys’ fees and costs. Enforcement actions may be brought by the Attorney General, the Division of Labor Standards and Statistics and/or through a private right of action by the current or prospective worker.

While the statute does not reference or contemplate specific limitations on restrictive covenants with independent contractors, the language references “workers” rather than “employees.” Such a reference may suggest the legislature intended the requirements apply not just to employees, but also to independent contractors and other non-employee workers. We will see whether the State issues any guidance on this issue.

 

The day she leaves that stupid company she will probably make 10 times what she makes now.

I am not surprised. I know she is a Vegas con woman. That is where she is from.  She has mostly moved all her clients away from 12listen and into her own private pocket.  Mark's company is dying now because of her. The site has been deteriorating for years.

Kat is dangerous

Here to echo what has been said: Kat Hall, Katt Casbar, Kathleen Nicholson, Psychic Kat - whatever alias she's using this week - is a very dangerous and very predatory "reader". I'm assuming her daughter Sydney (also a "psychic" on 12listen) is just as bad as her mother. 

Kat works the lines being drunk or half asleep or crocked out on pills - she is a liar and at one point attempted to recruit myself (and others) to have her own "psychic hotline" where we could pay "discounted prices" for her services. I didn't feel comfortable with it, so I never pursued this with her. I'm happy i never did that because I cannot imagine what would have come of that disaster. 

At one point, I was going through the depression after the death of a loved one, and my defenses were down. I normally would have seen her controlling, manipulative behavior: it went from a comforting person to talk to about my loved one being gone to someone that wanted to control my life and made it sound like ONLY she had the keys to make my life work and that I was nothing more than an idiot.

She would tell me that if I continued to work with her she "work" to get my life more in balance (better job, better relationships, etc.). After a few months though, I couldn't help but notice the slurring in her conversations, the long pauses, or the deep, heavy breathing followed by "i'm still getting messages". She even admitted to me after one phone call (where she fell asleep - I finally hung up after a 3 minute pause) that she sometimes takes pills and sometimes drinks to get through the phone calls because she's in demand so much. 

Finally, during one paticular call, I finally figured out what a fraud she was, and pushed back on her demand that I consider selling my house to make my life easier (while she was slurring her words...again!) and she freaked out. 

"I know your full name because I have your email address, I can find you with a snap of my fingers, MY family is in the mafia" she screamed at me. I never gave her my full name and had been using an alias, so I wasn't concerned. I was just more horrified that I had let this lunatic so deep into my life and I had actually taken advice from her (all of which was terribly unsuccessful). A few days later, I called her just to see if that was some sort of fluke and to see what would happen and she said "I'm glad you learned your lesson, I will lift the curse I put on you"

After that she sent me SEVERAL messages to my e-mail account, and I never read them. Whatever she had to say wouldn't change my mind about her. I closed my 12listen.com account shortly after that event. 

I don't know what perverse dirt she has on the owner (Mark) that he keeps her despite her failings, but she made it sound like Mark Husson incompetent and that she is the one actually in control of the site. Given that she was able to hire her daughter, maybe she is in control of the site. She also claimed that all the advisors share notes on each client, and that the "Frequent callers" are mocked because they're "so pathetic" (Of course she claimed she NEVER did that - who knows! who cares!). 

But, it's Kat isn't the only problematic reader over at 12listen, just perhaps the most dangerous.  Jamie Dawn, Kelly W. and Oliver are also extremely dishonest and are simply disingenous towards clients. Be careful with anyone on that site.

She did the same to me. Tricked me into believing a music legend was my soul mate and would be with me soon. Stole all my money. Now I am out of work and disabled. Buyer beware. Told me she was the best on the site and the others psychics were amateurs. She was their teacher. She lured me off the 12listen site saying I could get readings from her privately for discounted rates. Told me not to get readings with anyone but her. She would help me get next to the man of my dreams.

Psychic Katt is predicting deaths - How disgusting

#6Author of original report

Sun, November 20, 2022

This woman, Psychic Katt is predicting the timing of my friend's husband's death.  She recently told my friend when her husband will die. That is so unbelievably unprofessional. She has no right to determine when someone will die. Stop playing God.  You are hurting people. I see now why I had to stop calling this site.  I will advise my friends to do the same.

Wow!  The drinking during readings hasn't stopped.  She is telling me she is going to open up her own hotline.  Just wow.

Call me crazy, but aren't you suppose to be the owner.  I guess it doesn't matter anymore.

Thank you for your reply. However, you have overlooked my main concern.

Mark Husson and 12listen

Thank you for acknowledging that Psychic Katt (aka Kathleen Hall, Kathleen Casbar, Kathleen Nicholson), has a substance abuse problem. I am very glad to hear she decided to get the support she needs.  As you know, Alcoholics Anonymous states, “40-60% of the individuals relapse within 30 days of leaving an inpatient drug and alcohol treatment center, and 85% relapse within the first year.  I appreciate your validation of her recovery. However, I can attest that she is not sober.

However, you overlooked or stepped over my main concern, which I will reiterate:

Katt told me she was the only one on that hotline that knew what they were doing. She manipulated me to believe I should not get readings from anyone else but her.  She isolates you and makes you believe she runs the company.  She made me believe that she had some all-seeing eye.  It was insane the way she began to frighten me. 

Even when she doesn't get things right you want to call her again because she is so confident that, "She Knows." After a while she makes you believe her truth is the truth.  She is a gaslighter.  Her truth becomes your truth. I know she will retaliate against me which is why I am reporting anonymously. She believes she has some kind of magical power and uses it against her enemies.

Katt displays the behaviors of a predatory psychic.

To dismiss my concerns or invalidate them by saying, “I am an ex-employee or colleague who is seeking vengeance” is synonymous with a cop-out. I see from your other compliant/reviews you tend to use this weak argument often.

You owe a duty-of-care to me and our spiritual community. When you invalidate my authentic and legitimate complaint, you are sending a message that I don’t matter.  When one of your advisors is unprofessional it is your responsibility to “12Listen,” and take appropriate action.

When you allow Katt to isolate and mentally manipulate me, how do you think I feel? She discouraged me from getting readings from your other advisors and to just get readings from her.  I am sure I am not the only one. How do you think other clients feel?  How does this sit with your other staff members? How does this meet the community standards you ascribe to?

As a client, I can share with you how frightened I was.  She made me doubt my own truth.  She made me feel like I had to depend on her truth. I no longer trusted myself.  I found myself with an abusive partner who I never would have stayed with for so long, except for her encouragement.

My hope and expectations are that you will hold her accountable and not discount our discredit my complaint and that you take responsibility and acknowledge my complaint as legitimate and not belittle my concern.

And just like that

#9REBUTTAL Owner of company

Tue, February 08, 2022

 We’ve been in this industry since 1989, and we have been online since 2006. Psychics are simply underpaid therapists, they spend a lot of time trying to lift people up and if I’m doing my job right as the owner, I make sure that they are taking good care of themselves and also working within the integrity and standards that we hold in front of them and they are not low.

This is a classic example of someone who quit wanted to come back and we wouldn’t let them because of their instability. She is lashing out at a particular person here who has Worked hard for several years to maintain her sobriety and to do some good in the world.

This ex employee is taking an opportunity to hurt the career of her ex colleague. The only purpose for this is to inflict pain and suffering. I’m sure she got hurt in this relationship and lashing out with the hopes of crushing her ex-colleagues career must feel satisfying. What I can tell you is that the woman she is attacking has picked herself up from some of the darkest places, followed rigidly her 12 steps and has managed to set herself up with a new life filled with light.

She is a gifted psychic and a loving tender friend and wife. Her clients love her, her colleagues respect her and I am grateful for her. I wish the author of the complaint well and I hope those of you who read this understand The difference between a legitimate complaint and a disgruntled ex employee.
