Psychic Scam Protection Guide
The spiritual guidance industry has real practitioners and real frauds. Whether you use Luna or any other service, you deserve to know the difference. This guide arms you with the knowledge to protect yourself.
🚩 Red Flags — Walk Away Immediately
"You have a curse — pay me to remove it"
The #1 psychic scam worldwide. No legitimate reader will ever tell you that you're cursed and then offer to remove it for a fee. This is pure manipulation designed to create fear and dependency.
"Something terrible will happen unless..."
Fear-based urgency is a hallmark of fraud. Genuine guidance empowers you — it never terrorizes you into paying more. If a reader makes you feel afraid, leave immediately.
Escalating payment demands
Legitimate services have transparent pricing. If "just one more session" keeps being required, or prices increase after the initial reading, you're being manipulated.
Requests for personal financial information
No spiritual reader needs your bank details, Social Security number, or passwords. A reading requires your question and openness — nothing more.
"Only I can help you" / Isolation tactics
Scammers isolate victims from friends, family, and other practitioners. Genuine readers encourage you to seek multiple perspectives and trust your own judgment.
Guaranteeing specific outcomes
"I will make your ex come back" or "I guarantee you'll win the lottery." No one can guarantee specific outcomes. Spiritual guidance illuminates possibilities — it doesn't control reality.
No refund policy or terms of service
Legitimate businesses have clear policies. If there's no written refund policy, no terms of service, and no way to dispute charges — you're dealing with a fly-by-night operation.
✅ Signs of a Legitimate Service
Transparent, upfront pricing
You know exactly what you'll pay before the session begins. No hidden fees, no surprise charges, no "you need one more session" upsells.
Empowerment over dependency
Good readers help you find your own answers. They build your confidence and intuition rather than making you dependent on their services.
Clear disclaimer about entertainment/guidance
Honest services acknowledge that readings are for guidance and reflection, not medical, legal, or financial advice. They encourage professional help for serious issues.
Privacy policy and data protection
Your personal information and reading content are protected. Look for a clear privacy policy explaining how your data is stored and used.
Refund policy and cancellation options
Legitimate services stand behind their work with fair refund policies and easy cancellation processes.
