Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does ‘verified’ mean in the context of these ratings?
A ‘verified’ rating means that both the psychic’s identity and client testimonials have been independently confirmed through our multi-step authentication process. We verify business licenses, cross-reference practitioner credentials, and validate that reviews come from actual paying clients who can document their readings.
How is a rating verified – what is the process?
Our verification team conducts thorough background checks including business registration status, years in practice, and complaint history with consumer protection agencies. We also require psychics to provide proof of relevant certifications and training, while client reviews must be accompanied by reading receipts and time-stamped correspondence.
Which psychic sites pass the full verification check?
Currently, only three major platforms – Keen, Kasamba, and California Psychics – have passed our complete verification protocol including business transparency, practitioner screening, and consumer protection standards. Several other popular sites meet some but not all of our criteria and are noted as “Partially Verified” in our directory.
What are the most common psychic scams to watch for?
The most prevalent scams include “curse removal” services requiring large upfront payments, claims of guaranteed lottery numbers or specific future events, and psychics who attempt to create dependency through fear tactics. We also frequently see fraudulent practices like fake credentials, stock readings passed off as personalized, and the use of multiple fake profiles to create artificial popularity.
How can I avoid fake or fraudulent psychics online?
Start by only using verified platforms that offer money-back guarantees and have transparent review systems showing both positive and negative feedback. Be extremely wary of psychics who make grandiose promises, push for large upfront payments, or claim they need additional money to remove curses or negative energy.
