Hi all,
A friend found this and forwarded it to me and I’ve been hooked on reading your stories all weekend. This is like a relationship forum with everyone that “gets it”.
My quick story is not pretty. I was in a r/s that should have ended in the early 2000’s. Instead I got married to the guy. 18 months later someone swept me off my feet and he was attached to my hip for 3.5 years. I say he was, because I was so burnt out from the affair that I needed some alone time, and by that I mean I simply wanted to sleep alone a couple of nights a week. I thought that was healthy for a little while, he thought it meant I didn’t want him which was far from the truth. I really did want him, I just wanted some time to process my life and what I had done. I had a lot of guilt to work through on so many levels.
Over a year after my divorce was final, something snapped in him and he walked away with no warning. (I actually got a huge clue from his mom last night, I think I dejavued him into thinking I was going to leave him like his last serious r/s did) One day sex was “too confusing” and that was that. I made it two months (lost 14 lbs the first), emailed him a ton - he never shut me out but we certainly didn’t have a r/s anymore. Then I saw some ad for a psychic service, started calling and sadly got hooked. ALMOST got scammed but that’s a whole other story. I have reeled myself in a lot but I do still call.
This was in April 2010 that he walked. So my situation has been going on a very long time and it’s been a very bizarre road.
I have a couple of questions before I delve into my story any deeper.
I see some of you have mentioned the services keeping notes on us, I am guessing by phone number. I’ve often wondered if readers did this anyway but I was floored when a highly rated reader gave me an almost identical reading (she never asked if she had read for me previously and she had months earlier) and some of the stuff she said was no longer valid and I felt that she was just reading me a story. So disappointed. I had called her back a second time because when I read my notes, she told me that she saw someone around him, someone from his past. I dismissed it and then months later discovered he attempted a r/s and then ended it and it WAS someone that he had known for many years. I was so thrilled that she was the only one that had seen this that I called her again and got the EXACT same line from her, when I knew in fact it was no longer the case, she essentially gave me my first reading again.
I know that the rip off site sometimes has employees that post - has anyone from a psychic service ever admitted that they keep notes?
I have pretty much stopped calling psychics that use astrology as I saw a definite pattern with them. Everything always went seasonally as far as timelines go.
But now I am stuck where so many are saying Aug/Sept or at the latest fall. September counts for early fall I guess. Many are CP so that’s why I wonder about the notes. In the past a couple of CP’s have said this will be long term - possibly even next spring/summer. Ellen Hartwell says this, but all things considered this is really not that far out.
I did talk to Ellen Hartwell and was very impressed by some things that she picked up. They rarely pick up that I had been married, and when I started to call I was barely a year out of the marriage.
I’ve quite enjoyed some of your comments on timing, soulmates and free will - and at this point wish I had bookmarked them! I have done some of the CP Verbena exercises but I did not get the results I was looking for - i.e. I didn’t feel as though I connected to him. Maybe he felt it more than me. I used to regularly try and connect with him quickly each night but that’s kind of fallen by the wayside as months have gone by.
Another question I have..... he may have a personality disorder. A couple have picked up on this as well.... I am guessing that affects things even more. He actually seems hard to read for them, I call those that have the reviews of picking up names and details and it just never seems to happen for me.
I see many posts that say the psychics tell you not to contact your sm. Is this consistent from psychic to psychic? Do they do this more when the sm. is a man vs woman? i.e. the whole “don’t chase a guy” thing? I had also talked to Steve Gunn last fall and he told me I should talk to him and tell him that I am here for him, but he hurts me by continuing to run away. Ellen said that giving him space is the right thing to do, which is what I’ve been doing intuitively. They both volunteered this info. OTOH I have gotten free readings on other forums and that’s gone both ways too, but usually to stay back.
I guess I am trying to convince myself that some of these psychics really do have gifts and that some of the money I have spent was not for naught.
Anyway I am glad to have found you. At some point I will made a post about those I’ve read with. Please don’t take it personally if I sometimes edit out stuff from a post, like the PD stuff. That would not go well for me if he ever discovered this!

Hi Sunandmoon, You asked about notes that the psychics keep. I read with Jean a few times from CP. During one of my readings she suddenly said something about what she had told me earlier and said something about she was trying to find the notes that she had kept on me on an earlier reading. Then proceeded to tell me what she had told me in the previous reading and of course stuck to her story that this was all going to manifest, it hasnt.
Also, I was talking to Diamond at CP one time and she made the comment about sending her notes in to CP. I wondered what kind of notes she was sending. But of course this was after my time with her was over that I started wondering. I was too intent on getting predictions from her to pay attention to what she said at the time of the reading. Ive wondered since then if she was sending notes of what she had told me or if they were notes on how many readings she had done for the day or what.
The thing is that if they were keeping notes on us that were available to the other readers, wouldnt they all say the same thing? It seems I have gotten positive and negative readings so thats why I have decided not to call until the main thing shows at least a little progress. But Im at a point of not expecting it anymore. Its been too long. And honestly I feel better with not expecting their predictions to come true. I dont mean to be negative or anything and I do believe in psychic ability, I just dont believe that there are so many that they could fill all the psychic lines that are out there. We are bound to be scammed sooner or later.
I read with Ellen Hartwell also and she is really nice, the funny thing is she gave me a positive reading concerning the man that I havent seen in so long, just as so many of the more renowned psychics at CP. Who knows? Thats why Im not calling for a while. Even with all the calls Ive made, I still dont know. Lol.

Hi 4everhopeful, thanks for the reply. It is kind of disheartening that they admitted to notes. If they were truly gifted don't you think they wouldn't need them? Obviously things change all the time so just because they don't say the exact same thing to us every time shouldn't mean anything. And like you I have gotten different comments from different readers but the last couple of weeks they have all been similar on CP, Keen and private. I am a little more inclined to believe those.
I realize the lady I've been talking to for over a year now does know me and the situation but I can't say that about CP's that I've called maybe 3 times since October. Verbena did impress me with what she remembered but it wouldn't surprise me if she used notes to jog her memory as well.
I have had contact this week - on his part. He dropped something off that I asked for (was not holding my breath) and left me a huge chunk of a grinder as well which was a nice surprise. So I am going to continue to sit back and see as my current timelines are, well, pretty current.
I had one reader last week who INSISTED I have someone from my past who is tall and thin and named Dave or David that will be coming back into my life in the next two weeks. Thing is I don't know who this is so I think she is full of it. Didn't much like the rest of the reading either.
I've got to back off a bit myself, if for nothing more than financial reasons. I did good for awhile and then it seemed when he started to talk again I got insecure and freaked out. Some days I feel resigned about what has happened and feel I can accept it as a failed r/s and other days that fills me with an unbelievable fear.
How long have you been "waiting"?
-
sunandmoon,
scary thought if they share notes. so far i don't have this "feel" yet. i even got one negative prediction. and the not so good ones " didn't know what to say".
i have another name, i am going to use that with Nina later. i don't think names would sway the reading, it is still me she is talking to right?
i won't top up my credit anymore. i will take this is as a good lesson in life to experience the pscyhics.
-
I am very confused on what to make about psychics' prediction.I think I shared with you that one of the most popular psychics on PS admitted that he was looking at the wrong notes when he was talking witb me. When I called customer service to complain I was told that some of the most popular ones may keep notes to be able to establish a quicker connection with their repeat customers, since they have so many callers, and not waste their minutes. It sounds valid but like I said at this point I don't know what to make of any of it.
-
i am ok if the psychic keeps notes on repeat customer, although this should not be necessary if he is a real psychic. but the worst is if they share notes. that would be totally horrible.
-
I read on one of the complaint boards a posting that had been left by a psychic that use to work at keen and at psychic source. She said that keen psychics were unethical and did share notes & client info, she had seen it for herself. She also said that PS psychics do not share client info, they are Prohibitted from doing so. She said that customer service won't even tell them the names of clients who call and ask for a refund.
-
thanks for sharing the info. this sharing notes issue is indeed horrible and unethical if it is true.
yesterday i had a good read from a CP top psychic, i used another name after i read about the possibility of sharing notes. she still read my situation very accurately. i do not know they share notes or not, but just to mention that i had used another name and wonder if this would help.
-
I was curious and searched for "Dave" and found another reader that thinks I will have a Dave helping me this year. She was private though. I still insist I have never really had a Dave in my life, though one sure may show up. Though I did just discover that a David I met on a trip a few years ago passed away unexpectedly last fall, but I had actually helped him.
Then again Dave is a pretty common name, like Mike. I once had a reader try and scam me and asked if either of us had a black, white or red car. We both own more than one car and boy, those are sure common colors lol. Too bad for her I was already on to her
Even with Keen, I am not sure I see enough similarities to think they are actually sharing notes, but I'll have to look when I get a chance.

I found the posting I was referring to earlier from the former PS & Keen psychic, I pasted it below.
I was a contractor there for 5 years and we were forbidden to share information...AUTHOR: Sylvia - Beverly Hills (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 03, 2009
POSTED: Wednesday, June 03, 2009
I was a contractor with PS for 5 years and we were not allowed to share information, it was forbidden and the company does not share any information with the reader, they won't even tell us who complained about us which I almost quit over twice. Some of the readers may know each other because they worked together before but even if we did they pointed out in the contract that we could not tell each other anything. We were never allowed to share our information with another reader to contact them off the service to even form a friendship. I don't personally know either of the readers you mention but I know of their reputations from shared customers when I worked on the line. I have never heard a bad report from any of my customers about the company or those readers other than how expensive talking to psychics are. I only do personal clients now but I do refer them to the service if I am busy or on vacation and they need someone to talk to so seeing this came as a shock to me. The only bad thing I can really say about the service is that they don't let customers wait to get a reading with you, they make people dial your number until you are free and I think I lost more than one frustrated caller that way.
The only service I ever worked for (and I worked for a few over the years) where readers share information or are allowed to talk to each other is keen. On Keen it is disgraceful that readers alert each other of customers who leave bad feedback and then they block them, I could only work there for a little while because the readers were fighting over customers, arguing with each other and putting each other down in their ads and on their blogs. I haven't seen a more dysfunctional group of people ever and the customer information sharing just went too far.
-
Concerning the feedback at CP, I am terrible about reading the testimonials often to see how many predictions have come true. So many just say how much the customer enjoyed the reading but sometimes they do say that something truly happened. I went there one day and saw several very negative testimonials. One was for Nina and one for Gina Rose. Both were saying that after waiting for so long, nothing had happened and the customer was done. Those testimonials disappeared after a couple of days. I guess someone was new on the job and didnt know they werent supposed to post the negative responses, lol. Really seems dishonest though to not let customers know that not all predictions happen. I had lots of small things happen, but not the major thing and that was what got me calling in the first place. I guess the little things happening kept me holding on. But I do have to say this. Some of them were just so nice to talk to when I had no one else, so I guess it was good therapy in a way. But now I need intervention to stop the madness of me calling psychics all the time, lol.
-
i counted jacqueline's reviews and many are not just happy with the reading but said that her predictions came true. seems like she has the highest rating about predictions coming true.
-
I read with Jacqueline regularly and for me she has been the most accurate out of anyone else I've tried. Not all of her predictions happen for me but many of them do. I think I posted this already but the top psychics in the world are around 80% accurate so I try to keep that in mind with every reading. We're probably looking @ 50-60% accuracy from the best CP psychics.......
-
Sunandmoon thanks for sharing your story!
I for one have only did readings with Keen or outside readers...and all my readings differ from "no your ex isn't coming back" to " he's your soulmate, what you feel is right and he's coming back" I have NOT had any prediction come to pass other than him not coming back I guess...
As far as negative feedback, I like to skim through the feedback on Keen advisors and see what people say..of course most of the reviews are good but I also know that readers do share info. Earlier in the year a advisor told me something and it didn't happen so I left feedback regarding that and then I tried to call another advisor..no actually two and they both blocked me! NEVER talked to me before or nothing! That was when I knew that these advisors share info EVEN though they say their readings are confidential. Of course,nobody likes negative feedback/criticism, but if you dont like it, don't be in that profession!!! (also had rec'd a rude email from a advisor because of my feedback..she basically told me Im miserable and with my attitude I will always be. All I could do was LOL!)
I think some of the advisors are truthful bt it's hard to know who is and who isn't. Because NONE of my predictions have came to pass, I'm starting to think Keen advisors are all fakes despite their feedback which I think btw is mainly written by other advisors lol. It's like how is everyone getting results but me?! Am I that unlucky or is the feedback just fake.
Other than Keen, I've spoken to 4 private advisors...two said he'll be back, one said he'll contact me but to be beware because he'll be using me and the other one said nope,not coming back and if you hear from him he might be around the holidays....it's all depressing because I felt and still feel that my ex is my SM..no doubt about it! And of course I believe we all have more than one;but I want him to be my only one. I've been talking to advisors about this since Jan...smh!It's depressing,sad...so many emotions I feel daily.
Sunandmoon, I really felt your comment: "Some days I feel resigned about what has happened and feel I can accept it as a failed r/s and other days that fills me with an unbelievable fear." I've felt this way since Jan...
-
Oh also, I think someone mentioned this in this thread but it seems like it'd be smart for the advisors to give other predictions of other ppl other than your ex is coming back. Not one of these ppl esp the ones who say no he's not coming back said someone else will come in the picture UNLESS I asked...I'm thinking wouldn't it make sense to say "no he's not coming back BUT so and so is coming into the picture soon"...at least ease the pain of telling me he's not coming back...
but again, I don't know what to believe anymore....:(
-
That was me.... and yes I've gotten quite a few predictions of someone "new" in my life.... I know I am not really open to new people so it could be that I am just sending out bad vibes. But you'd think if the Universe truly wants to put someone in my path, it will. After all it put him in my path when I was married and I will honestly say I previously condemned people who had affairs. So if the Universe could tempt me in that way, why not put a new SM in my path that would ease my pain???
I have been told that Brad Pitt could walk into me and I'd never see him. I've been told the men I'm attracting to me at this time are not those I'd spend my life with (well how about a few good nights?! I am only human after all)
So I don't know, if they are just scamming us you'd think they would certainly do that.
PLUS I've started to ask about this guy at work, and more than one psychic has said nope, old guy still. If they are fake why not encourage me to move on to this new guy who seems to be available and hell I'd probably still call them at this point.
-
Omg yes I feel what your saying! When me and my ex broke up I use to pray and beg God to bring my ex back...then I started praying to at LEASTthe have someone else come in the pic to ease the pain if he wasn't gonna bring my ex back THEN I started asking to at least rid me of the pain and depression when I noticed nobody coming into the pic..I went out,tried to meet ppl even did online dating and NOTHING...its been 9 months..this whole situation changed how I felt about my faith ya know....I was never extremely religious but I had faith,went to church,prayed,never asked for much when doing so etc....but not so much these days....just looking for a break ...
Oh yea and I met some guy who seems cool but all the psychics say he's not the one my ex is. Its like damn! Can something work out?!?!?!
-
I'm going to jump into this conversation anf offer my two cents. I use to feel the same way about depression medication. I couldn't undestand why people needed them, what was so hard that they couldn't just snap out of it. Then it happened to me, the sadness, irritability, no motivation to do anything, and I couldnt snap out of it. I saw that it was not just affecting me but also my child. I started doing some research and if you believe what doctors say, depression is a chemical imbalance of your brain, and to cure it you take medication. If I take antibiotics to cure an infection why wouldn't I take this medication to cure an imbalance?
This is the first time though that i've also had to turn to not only therapist but also psychics for advice on how to move on. I have been in a lot of bad relationships, and this time, this man was suppose to be different, maybe thats that's why this time it's so hard to move on.
-
Oh ladies, I feel your pain. A few of the readers have told me they dont see him coming back but there will be contact of some sort, it just wont lead to a relationship, but the majority have said I will spend my life with him, that there is no other. These are the high priced psychics with the most testimonials of predictions coming true. Some say there will be someone else coming along that I will have to make a choice between two men when the time comes. Im still waiting for that new one to come along that I care enough about that I would turn my back on the original man if he ever shows up again. Red at CP told me once that it wouldnt do any good for me to meet anyone else cause Im gonna marry this man. Hmmmmm, I sure hope shes right cause I sure havent met anyone else that I can even stand to spend time with more than one evening a week.
I know it sounds like I closed myself off, but I truly havent. I would love to meet someone that I click with, but it just hasnt happened. Maybe Im too picky. Of course, I prefer to feel that I am selective, lol. But dont we all deserve someone that we are truly attracted to? And that has good breath? LOL. Thats a biggie with me. I know Im being a little silly this morning.
But on a more serious note. I do feel at times that most of us get the same story. And I read a post from someone here questioning so many lost loves returning. I agree that most of the time, it just dont happen. I know some people break up for years and find each other again, but honestly, how many times does that truly happen?
Im gonna admit to you guys that I had yet another reading the other night, I was feeling so anxious and needed to talk to someone so bad. I called Abrielle at CP. After I set up the appointment, I had thoughts of cancelling but I didnt. Now this is the part that really gets me.....she will tell you that she picks up on words and phrases and will throw them out there and you are to let her know what hits home with you. Sounds kinda of like shes throwing out guesses, but let me tell you. Almost everything she threw at me hit home. Especially two things she said. She told me he called me by a name, then she said the name. Just a little term of endearment but it was what he always said. And it wasnt sweetheart or honey, nothing so generic as that. She then said that there was something about him using a pillow in a certain way, she was right. He always had to have a pillow between his knees or he couldnt sleep. Bad back you know. I know that a lot of people do this but a lot of them dont. There were other things that she said that hit home too but I wont go into all of them. But she did say things that were true about his personality or things he had done in the past.
Ok, Im rambling now. But I woke up this morning with the thought that this will be the day that I focus on me and try to put all this prediction stuff on a shelf and just live my life. If he comes back great. But Im tired of holding my breath and waiting and watching for stuff to happen. But I sure hope that someday soon I can come here and tell you all that everything turned out like they said it would. Or at least that I met someone that swept me off my feet and Im not sitting alone every night anymore. UGH, so sick of that.
Anyway, you guys have a great day.

4ever: Im picky too lol!! I've met 2 guys since me and my ex have broken up and all had no connection what so ever! They were nice but I didn't see anything long term developing...then there was another guy I work with...we talked all the time at work through the instant msger system on Outlook and became really good friends. He had a gf and I don't date ppl I work with (he was an exception though after a while) so I didn't think anything of it...but his gf broke up with him (she always dogs him out but he stays with her. Why,idk!) so then me and him started talking a little outside of work and eventually started hanging out but he made it clear that he didn't know what the future held with him and his ex so he didn't want to string me along. I understood and appreciated it! It helped me not invest my feelings into him. Honestly, he would had been the perfect guy for me.(aside from my ex) He's funny,handsome,smart,a go getter,a gentlemen...everything a girl could want! But can't have him because he's not emotional available ya know? So since Jan, he is the ONLY guy I've met who has made me forget my ex and WANT to move on. Everyone else are duds lol
In general, I always felt like my ex was my SM from our first date and I honestly think he might have felt the same way. After our first date, he was ALREADY making plans for our weekend,before we even walked out of the restaurant lol. Our connection was so strong. Since high school to now (im 24), I have NEVER felt that connection with not ONE of my bf's or even someone I dated. I remember after our first date, I called my mom right when I got in the car and when she picked up the phone I said "Mom! He's perfect"...I just want that feeling back. I mean doesn't it mean something that our connection was so strong!? Well to me it does but guess not him. From last time I saw/heard, he has a gf (some rebound chick..started dating her right after we broke up). He confided in me a month after our break up that even though he was with this girl, he missed me, always thought about me, wasn't over and that I didn't compare to her...he even suggested we get together and talk about things..I of course said yes because I loved him and wanted us to work out our issues (mainly communication and a little of his selfishness but that's another story lol)...but 2 days later when i texted him and asked him when he'd like to get together he told me " I was thinking and Ima try to work things out with this girl". WHAT! I was sooooooooooooooooooooooo pissed! Like how dare you come to ME and say you wanted to talk about us..it wasn't MY idea, it was HIS! and then 2 days later your feelings just change? I for sure told him how wrong he was for that, how this chick is only a rebound because he's scared to be alone (in my opinion) and how he doesn't like her because if he did he wouldn't had been telling me all he did. Also told him how could he say he wanted to get together after he knew how i felt and he knew I wanted us to be back together and then just leave me in the cold!IMO, He could had at least gotten together with me,talked about it then said "hey you know what, it's not gonna work" but to say lets do this then change your mind 2 DAYS later. I was definitely mad and he knew I was....and ever since then, he's ignored my last two texts to him within these 9 months (one to say happy bday and the other to see how he was)
I always feel like I get the short end of the stick..no matter how much I try...I'm always on the losing end.

"These are the high priced psychics with the most testimonials of predictions coming true"
Please do not be deceived by the pricing of each psychic.... some of the lower-priced psychics have been more accurate for me.

Like who CSK ?
