Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
I first signed up with Keen in April 2009 and from there till September 2009 I contacted three psychics who seemed to be all reading a script. I spent more than 1000 dollars before realizing there was something amiss as they all said:

He is moving two step forwards and three backwards, he loves you and will show that in time. Right now he has issues he has to solve. I see him getting a divorce but eventually he will come around by September 2009. I waited until today May 2010 to file this report, hoping against hope. They also lied to me on work, that I would get a new job, become famous and all that crap. Well I finally found the courage to actually call him up as I thought why isn't all this happening, I mean three psychics telling me the same thing and you know what happened, well you guessed he sent me brutally to hell and told me to get lost as he would never leave his wife for me. Needless to say I had a psychological  crash which is lasting months and am still very very depressed and can hardly get on with my life as I had believed these keen psychics since their ratings were as high as their prices and I figured if their prices and ratings were high they had to be great. What I realized is that the same people wrote back saying just thank you, I will do as you say, I feel great for what you suggested will follow your advice as they were high after the call. Some reviewers said they had guessed right, but then it is a 50/50 chance that he or she may come back, so they just follow the script and the lucky one gets it right.

The first I contacted Christopher P at 7 dollars a minute 
even told me to write him a letter and that he would get back to me within a few months and that we would even go on a trip together, oh boy was I happy. Well, he never did tell me he loved me, and when he finally did reply to me after nearly a year he told me to go to hell, that he did not even want to see me and  that the relationshipe had ended and what was finished was finished.

The second psychic I called Jagger or Jagger01...at 9.99 dollars a minute
she repeated the same thing as Christopher P, saying the marriage card had come up and seemed really convincing, as in "you won't believe me now but I am telling you this not to make you happy, but because I really see it happening and this time when he comes to you he will come at a force." She predicted that for June 2009.

The third psychic I called Mahayle at 4.99 a minute
she also repeated the same story that he would be coming around by the end of the year and that he would be coming at a force and that he would be getting a divorce. Not only did he not get in touch with me but when I did finally master up the courage to call him  because I believed these fake psychics, he told me to go to hell and that he did not even want to see my face and that he was very happy with his wife. This was very very hurtful and I collapsed emotionally as I had been hoping for a whole year it would happen. She even told me that if all master psychics said the same thing then it was bound to happen. Imagine that! I think taking people's money to tell them lies is very unlawful and psychologically very damaging. Getting people's hopes up on love could also get them to committ or think of committing foolish acts like suicide if the love they hope for does not occur as these psychics assure it will. Not that I would ever think of it but I a bit downhearted and apathic at the moment, meaning not my usual energetic self.

They all seemed so trustworthy, now I realize they only make money on poor hurting souls bleeding for love who after a year also find themselves totally bankrupt and back to square one as the object of their hope is not there. I feel like the whole world has crashed on my head as till I had hope I kept going now that I had to face reality I am devastated. All the feedback you read is just about hopeful people who keep calling and calling and calling ...you will never read any negative because they block it just like they did mine.

Right now the psychological damage they have caused me is devastating.
I had read the feedback on Keen or Ingenio and had believed it.

But this is how they catch you, when I wrote negative feedback for example all three psychics blocked me
Jagger immediately blocked me from being able to contact her or write to her after me just writing back to say that the even had not occurred.
At first she even insisted I had to write her feedback which I refused to. I said when and if it does occur I shall write good feedback. That is why she has 20000 more positive feedback because she forces people or insists people write her feedback so she can get more naive clients.

Christopher P sent a load of crap follow up emails at 25 dollars each saying to hang in there that it was all a matter of time. That was in April 2009.
Once I even called him for another person and said a name...he went off with the same script...till I stopped him and said...I don't want to know if he will come around but when he will get out of my hair...then he lost it and did not know what to say and that is when I realized that all these psychics use  repetitive scripts in their hands.

I hope I have been of use to you and do use your inner intuition and not waste a year of your life hoping like I did. Then you will only find yourself alone and back to square one with your face in the dust.

I finally closed my account on keen this past spring after getting readings on and off for almost 10 year from that site and I have spent thousands of dollars I will never get back . In all that time I only had one prediction happen, of course the lady left keen soon after. I think many belong to the same groups and do share information with each other. They know just what to say to keep you hanging in there and keep calling for updates. I am disgusted to see how much time and money I wasted over the years but I know after all this that I need to trust myself more than I trust anyone else when it comes to making decisions about my own life because even if I don't have the answers nobody else can tell me my future because I haven't created it yet. If I REALLY feel the urge to know I can ask a magic 8 ball, its a lot cheaper and about as accurate as most psychics on keen.  Hope everyone who has been scammed finds the courage to look within and trust yourself more than some stranger who just wants your money.

I was scammed of money by fake psychics. That was many years ago.
And I know exactly how you feel.

Keen is a free market with hundreds of thousands psychics contracted. The price per minute ranges from 0.99 to some 50 dollars.Since Keen does not screen their psychics, you take your own risk. As new customers, you may just pick those who are on the first page of the site and try them out.I stopped using their service long time ago, but I could recommend a few things if you decide to stay with this site

Right after I was scammed I decided to have a psychic reading review website.
I hope consumers like me will not fall for traps again.

You are just another jealous psychic who makes up lies because you have no psychic ability, I am a five star reader across the country and abroad, when you complain about me, SAY DATES AND LEAVE YOUR 'E NAME, that makes you look more credible, this is just bs , I never beg for feedback, that is a joke in itself. I am one of the top readers in the country. I don't need to beg for feedback. Take care now, Jagger 01 
By the way your 'e liable for what you say. Remember that,so I HOPE you can back it up.

Keen readers are full of liars and talk to fallen angels, not heavenly ones. They are demonic

Don't feel bad ok?  Everything you listed was said to me too.  It took me the last month to really face it and to walk away for good.  Don't give up.  You are not alone.  It's devastating, heartbreaking, and sad, but you do have free online support from most of us who are willing to tell the truth.  Psychicjunkie.net and other message boards will help with coping with the betrayal.

I have had this problem too. For the past 10 years sporadically I've had readings, and on no matter what the situation was, it got worse.  It's a vicious cycle and they prey on your vulnerability.  They are using fallen angels (demons) to do so.  Those angels come as 'angels of light' or 'angels from heaven'.  They are trained to be nice and comforting to us because we are paying them by the minute while we let them spiritually wreak havoc on our lives. 

Keen is full of liars.  I will keep you in my prayers.  This experience has taught me to trust in G-d for all things.  Not religion, just spiritual through Christ Jesus. 

Let all of it go, the notes and accounts.  G-d will show you the way this is for certain.  And he doesn't make you feel worse, he gives you all the desires of your heart.  I will pray for all who are struggling with this addiction because it is destructive.  Christ is real and those who believe in him feel him spiritually.  As G-d is my witness, Christ is my personal savior and I am healed from this addiction.  Please cast all your cares upon him.  He loves you truly.  He loves you so much that he's knocking at your heart to come in.

Please check out youtube and look up Dr Walter Veith and the New Age. There are other videos on there that talk about people being scammed.  It will open your eyes. Please watch it all the way through because you will see the reality of occultism.

Nothing has come true and I spent $$$$$ roughly.  Every last one of them are sweet liars. I kid you not, share notes, talk to knowing 'angels', knowing spirits.  None of their predictions come true because they are using cold reading tactics. 

Please save your money. Those psychics are fake because they aren't real. Every last one of them. Even if they predict something, it's not going to be what you wanted.  We have the power to make better decisions on our own. Remember what life was like before you called the psychics? Don't be sad, empower yourself and fight back. FIGHT FOR YOUR PEACE OF MIND!!

Although they are nice, warm, friendly, helpful, it's a business and they are making $$$ off of it. They are charging you for friendship.  They are actors and con artists doing the same tricks for years.  Keen deletes bad ratings from other psychics to give the illusion that all their psychics are 3-5 stars.  They're lying and making $$$ off people's pain.

Keen Readers Are Fake

You know, I have not received a single accurate reading from Keen. At the time, the readings seem plausible. I guess these readers pick up on cues from you....and then go with that..with some kind of guess.

What is incredible - is that they all come up with the same predictions - and yet none happen. It looks like they coordinate. I think they share client lists with each other and then predictions they have given for those clients.

Sometimes these idiot readers even tell you verbatim what another reader has said -- so you know they are sharing information. Each should have a fresh perspective, but they just parrot...same timing, same information, and you are screwed out of your money.

I also noticed that if you give one bad feedback -- that hte readers will blackball you -- and even start to play games with you while robbing you of your money.

I am stunned that you would pay so much  money -- when the cheaper psychics are of the same caliber. There is no corrolation between price and ability -- except that the more opportunistic/ greedy readers tend to charge more.

Do not call this service. These readers offer nothing of value -- and cannot offer any accurate predictions. For me, the deadline has passed -- and now they are saying next month -- or later in the year.  These #_)(*$# conartists.

Once their predictions don't come true nad you call them on it -- rthey just block you. What is the loss to them? They have your money. They couldn't care less about the consequences to your life.

I am so sorry to hear what these fake psychics did to you. I invite you to read my story. It is even more devastating than yours. So do not feel lonely. I've been there too! 

A fake psychic took me for $20,000 and I was like you, devastated and did not know how to get over it. I got the conclusion that these con artists are always fishing and trying to find  people very susceptible and so easy to be taken for a fool. 
You have no idea how stupid and idiot I felt after I realized that I was been scammed. It was very hard for me to get over it and move on! That doesn't mind that this is going to stay like that, of course not, from now on, I won't believe in stupid predictions, psychics, etc. And find the right justice. And prevent people like me and you to do not run into their hands. Life is so short and it is not worth it to be wasted  with dealing with your past or your future. Let the things happen by themselves and take them as they come. Good or bad! Just be ready to overcome them. Do not ever waste your valuable money or your time again with these kind of people. Instead treat yourself with a nice dress, a great dinner, etc. Believe in God, believe that you are a blessed person and you will survive and overcome to this horrible situation. Good luck! Think positive every day and full your life with positive thoughts and actions. Some day you will be rewarded. No matter how many times you have fallen, or how deep you fell, what it matters is how strong you're to get up, learn the lesson, move on and don't fall again in the same holes.
