Gypsy: Charley, Psychic Readings by Charley, The Psychic Shop
Location: 1728 Conn Ave. NW, DC & 1836 M Street NW, DC
I went through a break up. Feeling depressed, I went to Charley on M street. At the same time I went to others and I found similarities between how they work. I hope this will help out others who are about to go there.

Basically, what Charley did is identical to what you have posted. She started her reading with general hits, trying to read facial expression, what you wear (a wrist watch can tell something about a person). They all have Christian decorations all over the room like this website mentioned.

I was at a crossroad -- like most people who want to go to her most probably are, either because of money/career or love.

She told me that someone I love hurt me deeply about a few years back but I wouldn't remember who (convenient for her reading/scam, huh?).

She went on though to paint a rosy picture of who I was going to meet (a soulmate) and a career that will make me X amount of money.

BUT, a big BUT, there's the negative energy in me or my 'chakra' that needs cleansing, or because of that bad energy, I won't be meeting my soulmate or getting that job. Plus, the other variants of similar stories I saw from victims on this site that someone is trying to hurt me.

I probably spent hundreds to get the cleansing done with rituals like burning incense, crystals, sea salt bath, etc. Later she of course needed more money to "finish the cleansing", and she supposedly needed to buy some expensive items to get it done.

At this point though, I, like many others, felt compelled to 'finish' the work, because I REALLY wanted that SOULMATE to appear. I know a clear-headed person who hadn't been taken this far into a scam would immediately see this as phony if they just walked in at this point with no other reference, but if you are feeling emotionally shaky (thanks to her), you feel very vulnerable to attack from the "negative energy" she's scared you into believing, so out of fear you believe her. Before you know it, instead of hundreds, you've spent a few thousands.
