Recently, the number of cases of fraud associated with online studies and extrasensory services has been growing. Fraudsters actively use social networks to impersonate well-known tarologists and psychics, copying their accounts and publishing stolen photos. They are aimed at subscribers of these accounts, offering them fake services for money.
In some cases, the victims of scammers came across situations when, after paying for the so-called session, they offered “purification” or buying additional goods, such as candles, in order to supposedly get rid of negative energy. Fraudsters create an atmosphere of urgency and require money by aggressive methods, and then disappear, deactivating accounts and leaving the victims without any services.
One of the victims said, as after receiving the drawing of a “fateful partner” was disappointed, since the depicted person turned out to be much older than expected. After the predicted acquaintance did not take place, the victim demanded a refund, but ran into resistance and attempts to convince it of the opposite.
In addition, there is information about more frightening cases. For example, one “psychic” allegedly pursued victims with the help of a global network of satanic and occult rituals to force them to seek help or even extort money.
Also, users of such online services complain about the theft of personal data, phishing, cybercrease, and even hacking their devices.
In order to avoid such situations, it is recommended to carefully check the reviews and reputation of psychics, clarify the details of the services provided, and avoid transferring personal information online. It is important to trust your instincts and be careful when communicating with strangers on the network, especially if they exert pressure and manipulate emotions.
