There is no such thing as a psychic at all, anywhere. They are all 100% frauds and they will indeed rip you off every chance they get.
I do congratulate the OP for reporting this experience so other people may benefit.
I just hope the OP knows that it isn't just this psychic who is a ripoff, it's ALL of them.
They are the lowest of the low.

I agree. I totally deserved it. For being too naive and not doing my research. However, I'd appreciate that you don't judge me or the situation since you don't know the details and they're not important. Unfortunately not everyone is as smart as you when it comes to certain decisions or when someone is in extreme pain. But what's important here is not me or whether I deserve it or not. I'm not writing this so people feel sorry for me but to alert others not to make the same mistake as I did.

The only people who should use psychics for anything are law enforcement. Anyone else is either looking to know or hear something they ought not be looking to know or hear. Why would you resort to nonsense like this instead of finding a neutral intermediary, counselor, pastor, etc to help heal a rift between you two? Anyone going like you to psychics is begging to get ripped off. It boggles my mind that someone savvy enough to resort to posting on this site would get suckered like that to begin with.

Hello,
I would like to warn you or anyone else reading this that this is a very common and potentially financially dangerous scam. The supposed "psychic" will persuade their mark to give them money in exchange for some sort of granted wish, usually suggesting that the money will be returned. The scammer then continues asking for more money, usually suggesting that this money is "cursed" and needs to be purified. The scammer continues to press that the money needs to be given or that all will be lost concerning the mark's original wishes. The scammer always guarantees that the money will be returned, but never returns the money. Often the scammer will always try to convince the mark that the money is truly cursed and that this needs immediate attention, sometimes going to lengths like suggesting it has sent the "psychic" into grave illness.
Please, do not fall to this scheme. Regardless of your beliefs on the reality of psychics, if a purported psychic is asking for money and insists that it will be returned, do not walk, but run far, far away. Furthermore, this scheme is obviously illegal, and I suggest to the original complainant and anyone else who encounters this sort of scheme to get the police involved.
I really do hope you can catch the scammers and get your money back. What these people did to you and no doubt countless others is completely monstrous and deplorable.
