Zadalia (unpopular opinion)

<< < (2/4) > >>

SGVues:
I get your frustration with this situation. I faced this with both Zadalia and Samantha Wild. Both these advisors list a set of instructions which new readers have to follow in order to get a reading with them which can come across as rather demanding.

With Zadalia, I think I was required to send her an email with the subject matter of my reading. Zadalia needed this in advance to let me know whether or not she would be able to connect with me. She emailed me back saying she will not be able to read my situation so I did not get a reading with her at all. While it is frustrating, the good side is that this prevented me from wasting money on someone who would not have been able to connect, saving me time as well. In your case it was more frustrating because the reading was in progress (if I got it right). I think it’s best not to read with advisors who provide us with a check list especially when we are distraught ourselves.

I did not mind Zadalia so much as she was so much nicer when compared to Samantha Wild whom I contacted prior to reaching out to Zadalia.
Samantha has a ‘to do list’ for new readers on her page. It is almost like a set of exercise that one needs to complete before being considered as ‘eligible’ to read with her, like a pre screening process. I was crazy enough to follow these instructions, following which she agreed to read for me.

However, there was a glitch and I was not able to top up my payment and the call got connected, leaving less than three mins of talk time. From memory, Samantha had mentioned that she will not do a reading for less than three minutes or something like that. I was planning on having a conversation with her for at least five minutes. So when the call connected, we greeted each other and I told Samantha about the glitch right away and politely stated that when the line disconnects I will call her back. Samantha asked me to hang up so that I am not charged(by then two minutes was almost over) and not to call her back!
I felt so humiliated and contacted Keen customer care whom then issued me a refund.

I found Samantha to be rigid and mentioned this to customer care and that even if she was to offer  to read me for free, I would never read with her.

While both Samantha and Zadalia might have their reasons for prescreening readings, I guess their delivery of the message lacks sensitivity and that is where it hurts.
I am sorry you had to go though this.

HER: hi how are you ?

HER: anyone there lol

ME:  Hello, my name is ------ and I'm good, thanks. Hope you are as well. My POI is ----- I was wondering how is she emotionally. What's she going thru?

HER: I need something more specific than what is she going through, like what are you really asking

HER: I sent mins to see if we connect and if I can't read on it , I will let you know

ME: How is she in life in general?

HER: you're asking about whether she's interesting in a long term relationship, right ?

ME: Okay let me ask this.....What are her current feelings about me?

HER: there's someone else in the pic

HER: please be more honest in your questions, this is time wasting

And then she ended the chat without warning. I am leaving this info here to counter her raving reviews and to warn others, as I was unable to leave feedback on Keen due to the brievity of the chat. And I am also HOPING she sees this so she can know how rude I found her. Lady, I wasn't being indirect. I was not asking if she was interested in a long term relationship. I was asking you exactly what I was asking you. The best part? You were completely wrong anyway. I don't know who you think you are, but your people skills need some serious work, especially with you being in the trauma business, dealing with people who are usually at their worst when they contact you. Thankfully, Keen refunded me.

SkepticOne321:
Thank you. I'm sorry for your experience as well. I had no pre screening requirements for Zadalia, I just clicked the button and the reading began. Being direct is not the issue. I have no problem with being direct. But direct is not a synonym for insensitive, and no matter how anyone tries to flip it, hanging up in mid-read is simply rude. And her telling me I need to be honest with my questions (implying I am lying) is flat out offensive. She THINKS she knows my situation, she THINKS I'm beating around the bush, and she THINKS she knows the answer. She can keep her presumptuous attitude and wrong connections to herself. I agree with your earlier statement you said about Samantha...I wouldn't go back to Zadalia again if it was free, lol.

jackY:
I don't know if Zadalia still does this, but I remember there was a time when she stated that she didn't accept new clients. I never read with her, but my take on that is the reader has repeat callers that they can lead on for a while. Once they know someone's story, they can just keep building on what's being fed to them. And "pre-screening"? Pahleese! AKA-let me see if this is a gullible person.

jackY:
Truth!

Novachild1018:
She asks for people to message her with details to confirm a connection first and I did and she ignored it. I’m like OK maybe she has a lot of emails or not taking new clients. I asked again from another account if she was taking new callers and she rudely said yes and called out how I didn’t provide the information. So I provided the information and she ignored me again. If you are asking people to reach out to you to confirm if there is a connection, be respectful enough to respond “yes or no”. Don’t just ignore purposefully. She seems so entitled.
