This has just been on the BBC Watchdog programme..........

http://www.bbc.co.uk/consumer/tv_.../services/services_20080123.shtml

So if you're in need of a tarot reading from a Mrs Adams, be aware you may have a 'cracked' or 'unsuccessful' aura - which will require a special eight-foot candle to put right.  All for the very modest sum of £800............

The vast majority of us would run a mile at hearing this, but it's sad that such low-life (and there are many like her) profit at the expense of those who desperately need help and are prepared to go to any lengths to get their life back in order.

And it doesn't give those genuine psychics a good reputation either.

Things like this makes my blood boil........ sadly, these bloodsukers prey on innocent folk who reach out for help when they are most vulnerable.

We see this also in so called 'counsellors' and 'healers' and I've had many a patient sit with me who have been totally ripped off by these charlatans.

Like you say Rik, they give the honest, genuine ones out there a bad name.

Thanks for posting this

Yep - 'counselling' seems to be a very profitable sideline for many these days - and as you say, do so much mental damage to their clients!   Genuine counsellors have to train for years before they're 'unleashed' onto the public at large.

And then it takes people like me ages to mop up the mess and undo the damage these idiots have caused........ recovery can take so much longer.

That is so sad...I have heard of scams like that all over.  At least there is someone out there who cares...people who work in the fields you do, Raven.  Thanks for being there to pick up the pieces for these poor souls.
