When interacting with a medium, it is essential to exercise caution and be mindful of the information you share. I advise limiting your responses to simple yes or no answers, and if elaboration is necessary, take care not to reveal any details that could be used against you.
Regrettably, as in all areas of life, there are unscrupulous individuals who pose as psychic mediums with the sole intention of scamming others. These fraudsters are heartless and exploit the vulnerability of those who have lost loved ones. This type of deceitful behavior is not limited to mediums; it is found among professionals in various fields, including clergy, doctors, and law enforcement. Such individuals exploit our trust, causing significant harm and resentment.
In the 1990s, a friend’s mother visited a well-known Iraqi psychic in London, paying £300 for the session—equivalent to at least $1500 today. During the session, the psychic claimed she was cursed and offered to remove it for an additional fee, citing extensive work required. She was experiencing marital issues and believed the psychic might be correct about the curse. The fee for the ‘hard work’ was £3500, or about $17,500 today. She paid the amount, but a week later, after the psychic claimed to have removed the curse, her situation worsened. The psychic attempted to extort more money from her, but her son intervened and stopped her.
This so-called psychic was always accompanied by bodyguards, indicating that scamming people has its risks.
In contrast, during my time volunteering at the church, part of my service involved healing and helping to remove curses. I never charged for these services, despite the personal toll it took on me, seeing it as part of my commitment to healing and believing that the true healer was God, not myself.
I understand why people are angry with psychics; the field is plagued by many fraudulent practitioners, making it challenging to find the few who are genuine.
