I found an ad for a new psychic place in Chatsworth Lake California last year that offered coffee ground, tea leave readers, tarot and other psychic readings. I got hooked because the coffee ground reader happened to luck out and hit me at a time when I had just been dumped by a boyfriend and was hurting and needing answers. She seemed sincere and hit on a lot things like accuracy in names, foretelling names of people I will be meeting soon, and even cautioning me about some dentists I was in the process of interviewing for reconstructive dentistry.....those guys she nailed on money, the good ones versus the mediocre. I was paying about $500 a week for several months until the place closed down. Then, the coffee ground reader had to start reading out of her apartment which she was always almost losing for lack of rent money.
The part where I feel I got scammed was when she kept complaining that she didn't have money for her son to go to a state college out of her area and that she needed money for a computer for him. She just wouldn't stop with the complaining. She predicted that I should open a coffee house which I and some friends had been talking about and that it would "hugely" successful. I even leased a place but the whole thing fell apart when the friends got cold feet. The coffee reader said her son would get recipes and set the place up with the coffee machines etc if I would buy him a computer for school. We had a verbal agreement and the son came through with recipes from the most well known coffee house on the planet, but she was so cheap that not only did I pay $2,000 for the computer, but $15 to copy the recipes which I was going to tweak so it wouldn't be coffee drink recipes plagarism. Then, she had the nerve to ask me to pay her an additional$80 for an updated reading. When her son didn't fulfill the terms of our agreement and I complained, she was real nasty about it. I told her I deserved some free readings; she said she would think about it, but never got back to me.
I am fuming, and am warning others to dump these readers when they start dumping their financial woes on you and twisting your weak mind to the point of offering to help them out in exchange for something they may have to offer. You ultimately get screwed and learn yet another lesson in con artistry.
