Complaint Review: KEEN.COM - ASTRONET PSYCHICS - Nationwide

Thank you Joe; you are SO right,and I agree with you 100%. I never made the claim of being in 'my right mind' when all this happened, though. I had had two family very tragic deaths, divorce, betrayals, other family problems- a total crisis mess; I cracked up and lost my mind with grief I guess, but THESE SCAMMERS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT, KNOWING I WAS NOT IN MY RIGHT MIND. And, furthermore, they set out to get me all confused even more,as a conspiring family/friends group, sharing info and the like about me. One or the other would get me to calling.It was an amazing,evil ,cruel,manipulative and wicked scheme they had going on, sharing info, working togther to bring me down into the gutter of poverty, deep despair and HORRIBLE CONFUSION. I didnt realize much at the time. I was like a zombie. And then the terrible insomnia started, horribly, as the stalking increased and the wierd unrelentless emails from them and their group.I have named some of them on other posts on other threads here on ripoffreport.com. It is a long sad story,and I am starting to weep again about it, so better stop this post now. My details are in a lot of my other posts. There is no recourse for me, I feel. (I am relatively speaking, an old lady now,and this has decimated my life and body from stress and confusion, and aged me dreadfully.They had my head spinning (literally) and had people come here to trail me) These people are strangers and many are outright drug-dealing/using criminals ,and full of fraud and deceit and all kinds of evil schemes against people,especially older people who were kind and trusting- and easier to take advantage of in every way,and especially mentally. I do not think a civil suit would get even 1/8th of the money back, but it would sure help if it would. I do not feel I could find a lawyer to take on the case. Also, I have over the years had so many accounts,and have lost track of them all and the passwords,etc. It would have to be the main one during the last 4-5 years which I closed last year. But I have not kept records, nor papers. I would have to reopen that account,and much of it will be gone. I feel my life ,and my fragile mind, is wrecked by all of this. All I can do is try hard to keep myself to myself, and to live a penitential life for all the rest of my life, what years are left of it. I have cracked up mentally about this, over all of this, again and again. Just when I would stop calling, one of their group(unknown to me) would start emailing me with free minutes (against the Keen rules)- got away with it because they were all part of the same family and group. No ,I am not in my right mind. But keep on posting Joe,because you are right,so right ,and maybe these folks will listen to you. God bless you Joe. God bless you all, both clients and 'advisors' alike- know God's love and protection and grace- His help. I write all this in the spirit of God's love. Ps. people: please google these: 'cold readings', NABI, www.seminolesheriff.org /transient offenders, www.gypsypsychicreadings.com. Bless you.

Who in their right mind would confide things to someone you have never met, someone you do not know who you have not seen face to face ... The idea is a company sets up a phone services and subcontracts out the phone calls and refers calls to the telephones of the employees. The employees are sent a series of scripts to use with people of different age groups and genders with the concerns and the psychic predictions about those concerns.These are meant to get the client to talking and the longer the client talks, the more money they company makes and the more percentage the employee gets. The employee also gets a bonus for each person who requests them personally. AND THESE PEOPLE TALK IN BILLABLE MINUTES.It is the same way a Adult XXX-RATED PHONE SERVICE WORKS. These employees have NO psychic abilities whatsoever except they can tell you the more money you waste on them, the less you wil have to meet your essentials and this can be financial suicide for people on fixed inciomes. BUT THESE FALSE, SO-CALLED PSYCHICS DON'T CARE CAUSE THEY ARE ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY AND THE PERCENTAGES. This is the TRUTH. You have been WARNED. You might be able to recover some of your money if you SUE them for fraud. the hotline companies are counting on your embarrassment at being conned to keep you from filing any suit to recover your money. It is a CIVIL ACTION and you CAN file it. DO IT WITHIN TWO YEARS OF YOUR LAST PHONE CALL.

Oh please. 1. Yes credentials can be verified. No one can "prove" psychic powers. Credentials I have seen on Keen amount to college degrees, etc. Do you know many cheat their way through school and that schools still produce, unethical, incompetent people? Credentials do not bestow or indicate accuracy. Plus anyone off the street could sign up -- just fill out a listing and away you go. 2. Feedback. No it is not legitimate. You only have 30 days to leave it. If you speak to soon before predictions are meant to happen, you can't go back and alter it. Many don't leave bad feedback because if they do, they will be blocked and black listed. As a result, many dissatisfied customers simply say nothing. Many readers also demand good feedback or offer free minutes if you give them glowing praise. 3. Money back guarantee? You can only get one/month. So, if the first reader is a fraud, you wait to wait another month before you try another so you can get that money back too? Many people go through a number before they finally find one who seems to click. 3. Readers to leave feedback for each other. I have seen it. How do you know the readers dont lower the price for their friends, get goodfeedback and then raise it again? I have seen readers try to entice callers in, offering $.99 and then the next day they are $30. The prices change all the time. What may be a brilliant reading at 99 cents may not be so good at $50. Keen is fraudulent. THey need to be fined, shut down, and return our money.

All Keen "readers" have the potential to be extremely dishonest and dangerous mentally to those who call them. They, by virtue of their "job" ,are extremely fraudulent. Hence, they are quite capable of other crimes- that is crimes besides 'theft by deception'. Psychic Sebastian is the quintessential personification of fraud, deceit, mendacity and treachery. He is extraordinarily dishonest, evil, manipulative, cruel ,spiteful, and vindictive. His initial apparent 'sweetness' is a charming manipulative ploy. He actually gets people to love him. His feedback attests to this. Also, there are more than one man running that line on Keen. The voices can be equalized with a mouthpiece on the headset mic tip. That is not always done, but must have been. Someone informed that two men run that line.They sound the same, but say different views. Maybe this main man is so disturbed and has 'alter' personalities.Multiple personaility disorder, in addition to all the other issues. The main person ,though, is as stated above,and also in the report posted above, that this man is an extremely 'clever mentally disturbed individual'. He uses 'head games' to manipulate. This is DELIBERATE. He fills your head too with garbage. He gets a person's head spinning. He works on people in a confused vulnerable state, just like ALL ON KEEN do, but perhaps even worse, perhaps even more. He makes personal emotional attachment proclamations and promises ! He works on getting into a person's 'head'. He does this when the person is vulnerable and sad. Then, he lays the groundwork of rubbish he gives out . He uses vast amounts of flattery and fake charm, which to the lost, lonely, hurting,and sorrowful can seem appealing. Then, he makes those emotional and emotive statements and avowals of attachment/ love , with promises and strange proclamations regarding all of that too. Such as: " I know what's going to happen ! Before long, soon you will come to me". Then it is lies,lies and more lies. He will jerk a person mentally first this way, then that way. He messes with people's minds. First too he says he walks with a cane, then has cataracts, then inoperable liver cancer and will die soon, then had open-heart surgery, then diabetes.and more.....all while saying he is an old old man. None of it true. He is a young man, with good strong legs who runs. This man is extremely dangerous mentally to those foolish enough to call him in times of sadness,vulnerability,loneliness. He gets people's addresses by saying he wants to send a gift, which he does do. He has done this to many, mostly women. Then he cases them out later, or has his friends/family members case them out. He belongs to a network across America, of an alternative culture, and much of it is criminal, sad to say. He is a sociopath/psychopath. He is dangerously paranoid,mistrustful,vengeful, treacherous. He, like many in his family and culture, is a kind of a criminal. He is very very dangerous mentally and emotionally,and perhaps in other ways too. He is extremely dishonest and insincere. He may sound sweet, but he becomes easily very spiteful,vindictive,vengeful. Message : ANY readers on Keen are possibly also like this. They probably ALL are, to some degree or other. The whole fortunetelling/psychic thing is totally fraudulent . Any recourse to fraudulent people for "ADVICE" ( sic ) has the potential to be or to become - very very dangerous, at least emotionally and mentally.And maybe worse. You can get your HEART BROKEN, your MIND BROKEN FOREVER, and your finances destroyed. Also, you could be stalked or worse. Also, these so-called 'advisors' have no consciences, only fear and deceit. If you have been the victim of this situation, pray to God for protection, go to the police or FBI or call the NABI (national association of bunco investigators) (410) 752-8105, who can advise you regarding what to do.

Come on, use your head here. If anybody REALLY had psychic ability, they'd use it to win the lottery. They wouldn't be out hustling the lost, the confused, and the people who just can't make a move without someone else's guidance. This psychic nonsense is a low-class con. You take the poor and the confused and hit them up for their last $40. Don't you psychic idiots know anything about karma?

I can agree that Psychic Sebastian is a fake. Not only does he feed you with B.S., he also calls you a different name (from my experience). The whole reading he just kept saying someone elses name (not mine) and was totally off. He wouldn't even let me correct him. Such a waste!!

You are either blind or dumb and it looks like you did not even read what i said in my response, and that angers me. Absolute backgrounds does exist and i know that for a fact because i have called them and they me, and they also have a website. Read the letter again you feeble minded person and you will see what i have to say about where i do my work. We are not all the same and we do not work for keen, we just pay keen to be able to use the site, so we are not employees of keen. Just because you had a bad experience with some one doesnt aspply to all of us, READ MY LETTER AGAIN STUPID. ABSOLUTE BACKGROUNDS IS REAL! I HAVE E XPERIENCE WITH THEM YOU ARE THE KNOB HEAD. You obetter get your facts straight before you go trashing other people when you dont even know what you are talking about. GET IT STRAIGHT BUDDY. I REPEAT KEEN WILL NOT LET YOU LEAVE FEEDBACK UNTIL YOU HAVE PAID FOR AND RECIEVED YOUR CALL! Only then will you be allowed to use the feedback forms. Cant wait to hear what you have to say next.

i really beleive that the person who wrote this rebuttle is a complete nob head. SO called pychic sebatian is nothing more than a very clever mentally disturbed individual who charges 3 to 4 dollars a minutes to feed you bullshit untill you have it coming out of your ears. i personally would like to beat his head until he is dead or close to it. ABSOLUTE BACKGROUNDS.com dosent even exist, so how can those varafications mean anything?? Whatever you do, do not trust a single person on keen, with or without a phony verification.

I also have a site on keen.com This is not true other psychics do not leave feedback for others. The feedback is 100% true on keen and can only be left from paying customers. I also have my own private practice and just do keen once in a while now but i still have my site there and have had since 2000. None of the feedback listed there is phoney. You have to pay and talk to a psychic to be able to leave feedback, otherwise it is not possible to leave feedback. There is also a thing called verified credentials that has a background check run on you and that is run by a seperate company called absolutebackgrounds.com If you call a psychic who has this verified credentials then you can be sure that you are getting what you pay for. This person who filed this report was probably hard headed and did not want to hear what this psychic had to say, and probably did not want to follow the advice of the psychic OR CHOSE ONE WITHOUT BEING VERIFIED. Also I will say that I am sure there are some ripoffs on keen but I do not know of any off hand but let me say if you call a psychic who is not verified and only charges 99 cents a minute then you get what you pay for. If you get ripped off then it is your own fault for not making sure that this person is verified. every listing that has been verified will say so next to the listing. Be more selective the next time you want a psychic. Make sure that the psychic you choose has verified credentials. Also keen has a 100% money back if not satisfied. FEEDBACK ON KEEN IS NOT PHONEY! GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT BEFORE TRASHING ALL PSYCHIC AND SOMETHING YOU APPARENTLY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.
