Complaint Review: Kasamba - Beaverton Oregon

As a long-time client on the site, I need to voice my complaints along with many others currently coming forward, and add that I feel there is a legal basis because of the "sharing of information" that is not only conspiracy of a sort, it violates some very essential codes of ethics re: privacy of the paying clients that a service like that should be concerned about and #3, the sharing of info appears to be utilized in a manner so as to attempt to defraud.

As to the sharing of information:

1) This tactic "tricks" those seeking counselors/psychics into believing that person is gifted. Once they see (are led to believe) that person knows so much about a particular situation, they are set up to believe that person's "advice" about anything, or prediction has some validity. This is dangerous and it is misleading. This sharing of information should be construed as "Attempt to Defraud".

There are a TON of so-called psychics on there now, who amazingly parrot each other, and know so much (at least about one situation you have discussed with another, and which they seem to be cooperatively gaining more information about). They know nothing otherwise. They just copy down the information, consult their database and voila! They can tell you all about "him" or "her" (they really love those "love" readings, they can BS all day about that).

2) I have not had ONE accurate psychic prediction. Because the "psychics" share information, they knew about one particular issue/person in my life. They didn't know, and could not grasp another situation I asked about. I was always puzzled how they could be so right about one, and clueless about the other. The "other" happened to be very much about serious legal and financial issues. I fortunately, had the common sense to ignore them, and analyze my own data. Those readings just turned out to be money and time wasted and did not cause what could have otherwise been devastating circumstances, had I followed any advice.

3) Because of the tactic of "psychics" sharing information, they are setting up a dangerous trend. They wanted to give readings, rather than on the foregoing issue (legal and financial) which were serious ... they seem to want to talk about relationships most often. I didn't have one, but what was a meaningless little affair was revived and made to sound like it was serious, would come back, and was part of my future. That started all of them on a roll. When I consulted anyone during a very bad time in my life because of overwhelming life circumstances otherwise, I was drawn into an escape of sorts, of this lofty soulmate future talk. Somehow it BECAME important, because it was "to be", "the universe decreed it", and I was painted a beautiful picture of something I didn't otherwise know existed. As everyone I read with (and I checked with many) seemed to be exact on temperament, traits, behavior patterns, and even physical characteristics, I assumed they were right on the rest of the story. This was only because of SHARING information. This could not have happened, if they had not shared information, and I would not have been duped into losses of thousands of dollars, or wasted time, or become mentally engaged in this destructive pattern, while at a very low and vulnerable period in my life.

4) Because of the tactic of "psychics" sharing information, they are baiting seekers into believing they have credibility, while draining them of money. I don't believe one of them can have conscience, to do this. For "metaphysical" or supposed spiritual people to be doing this is unconscionable.

They have pushed (yes they have PUSHED via lies and deception) people into bankruptcy and financial ruin. No doubt they are killing relationships, wasting people's time, and giving general bad advice that could be potentially ruining people's lives. I cannot imagine the damage they have done in other people's lives. They were significantly damaging in my own, and I was an intelligent person (until I started going there obviously!) capable of _some_ objective analysis--on the important things. It was a low period in my life--and they take advantage of that in a very clever and malicious way.

They intentionally breed addiction and dependency, getting people when they are often in a low and vulnerable period in their life. The financial devastation to I can't imagine how many people, causing bankruptcy and otherwise, should be enough to get something legal started to shut it down.

If Kasamba was honest about that one fact, people could, given that information, make their own decision.

If either Kasamba or the psychics feel that sharing the information is okay in order to give better readings, they should publicly state that they do. Then those seeking readings could better make an evaluation on the content of their reading. They could also decide whether they want their problems PUBLICLY SHARED! An assumption of integrity seems inherent to the "profession" of counseling--then again, they are not "counselors"!

I call this deliberate intent to deceive for a purpose. What purpose? To DEFRAUD.
