Fake Psychics

Don't Be Fooled By Fake Psychic Sites!
Here's the latest: Lying scum Anaya Dia ("An Idea") -- who claims to "guarantee results" because she is a self-proclaimed "Certified master 3rd generation Born Psychic & African High Priestess Spell Caster" -- displayed the AIRR logo on her web site. IT WAS A SCAM.
Take the Link-Back Test
When you click on the AIRR logo on a REAL AIRR Associate's page, you get taken to the main AIRR page and at the left you can find the names of our affiliates, among whom you will see the psychic reader or conjure doctor whose web site you were just visiting. This is your PROOF that the person is really an associate of AIRR.
If you see the AIRR logo at a spell-caster's or psychic reader's web site, CLICK ON IT. That click will link you back to this site, and you will see the reader's name in the AIRR Associates list at left. You can consult that reader or conjure doctor with confidence because he or she is truly affiliated with the Association of Independent Readers and Rootworkers and has agreed to abide by the AIRR Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct.
The fake psychic Anaya Dia posted the AIRR logo, but there is no link-back to the AIRR site. When you click on the AIRR logo at her site -- nothing happens. She is NOT an Associate of AIRR.
Fake Psychics Are Thieves!
We found out about the rip-off scam psychic Anaya Dia when a client called who wanted to know why Anaya Dia had taken all of her money and done nothing for her. We couldn't help the client, but we CAN tell you that the scam psychic Anaya Dia's web site no longer has an AIRR logo on it, and the bogus Anaya Dia phone number is no longer working, either.
Fake psychics like Anaya Dia are no better than parasites or purse snatchers -- BEWARE.
Remember: Click On It!
All you have to remember is this: If you see the AIRR logo at any psychic reader's web site, all you have to do is click on it. The logo will link you back to the AIRR site and you will see the reader, spell caster, psychic, medium, spiritual practitioner, root worker, or conjure doctor listed in the roster of the AIRR Directory. You can then hit your browser's back button and return to the reader or rootworker's site knowing that you have contacted an authentic and ethical participant in AIRR.
Don't Get Scammed By Scary Emails!
Once you connect with a fake psychic or scam artist posing as a healer or spell-caster, your name will be passed from one crook to another. Yes, they sell the names of people whom they have victimized, on the chance that you may be foolish enough to buy into their scams again ... and again ... and again.
One of the favourite methods used by these scammers is to send you an email in which they claim that they have had a personal "vision" of you -- and it is never a good vision. Basically, they tell you that you will lose your lover, or your job, or your health, or your happiness if you don't hire this psychic (whom you have never even heard of before) to cast a spell for you ... a very expensive spell.
"But," you say, "the details are correct -- my lover DOES have an ex who could cast a terrible spell on us and break us up! She saw this! It must be true!"
Sorry to disillusion you. You got that email because you had been to ANOTHER scam-artist psychic and had mentioned your love troubles. "Ronnie" didn't have a "vision." She had "Letter A - The Other Woman Curse." If you had told your previous scam psychic about money troubles, you would have been sent "Letter B -- The Money Curse."
The scammers send out hundreds of these letters -- identical letters! -- every day, and if even only 2% of the people they contact respond and buy a cure for the fake "curse," they will have made enough money to more than repay their effort.
And, of course, the "spells" these fakers cast are invisible. There is no photo of the work being done. It's all just words. Spell-casting scammers leave you broke -- and spiritually worse off than when you first trusted them to help you.
Don't fall for these scam psychics and their scary stories. Ask questions before you send money to a spiritual counsellor, especially one who uses fear-mongering tactics to scare you into paying for spell-casting services. Learn about your reader's or rootworker's ethical standards and code of conduct. Make a simple contract for any extended or expensive work. Be safe.
Finding a Reputable Reader
Now you know how some of the frauds and fakers work. But how can you avoid the fake psychics and get help from an honest one?
Well, we have assembled a list of suggestions to help you select, contact, and work with an honest psychic reader or root doctor. You don't have to choose one of us at AIRR, but reading about the services we offer and how we relate to our clients may help you choose your own advisor more wisely, either locally or online.
If you are looking locally for psychic services, go by the worker's office or parlour and check the place out. Does it look welcoming, clean, and safe? Are the services offered the kinds of services you wish to purchase? Finally, don;t be afraid to ask about the reader's reputation with your friends and family -- many well-established readers serve their community to decades and are well-regarded by their clients.
If you are looking online for psychic services, please read through our list of simple questions to ask your potential psychic reader, hoodoo rootworker, or conjure doctor. Spiritual consultants who will not answer these simple questions may not be worth your time.
Scammers can be found anywhere, not just in divination professions. We don't think there are any more scam psychics than there are scam auto mechanics or scam roofing contractors or scam ebay sellers of electronics. The thing is, you deserve to be safe in all your online and in-person transactions -- so please, take the time to shop wisely before you pay for spiritual services.
