I dont deny that there are some gifted ones. But those on this list, I went in starting by asking my ex who had already cut off contacts with me for like 5 years, but those scams are saying he cares for me and will apologise very soon. All are scripting and fairy tales. Some people just like to argue some work for some and some dont... oh come on, if they are just saying these to 10000 people, there must be one that they are correct, and you are just the lucky one.
The problem with doing that of course, based on how they read is that you cannot lie to a reader. I just got into tarot cards, I am trying to save my money (mostly) and so I decided to give it a shot, they are fun but if a friend comes to me and says, hey, is my dad going to call me tonight and I look at the cards, I can only interpret them based on that question that was asked, if the friend is lying to me, such as there dad is dead for example and so they cannot call them, then that doesn't mean I am a fake at reading the cards, it means you gave me a false question.
for example, just now I grabbed a card in reponse to your post, will my ex come back...the cards say no and its going to be very painful...ok but you are saying this has happened 5 years ago, so my tarot is right, he isn't or didn't come back but was it emoytionally painful? You might say, it's not going to be that because it happened 5 years ago and then I am fake in your eyes?
So, I woudn't judge a reader on a lie you told, I'd tell them an honest situation and see if they can connect, just my opinion though, I am new to this and I am NOT in any way psychic, not even interested in that.
