Question

If the people at the psychic hot lines were really psychic, why do they ask us our name?

Answer 1

Or your birth date, for that matter... o0

If they're really psychics, why aren't they hitting the lottery at every turn?

Answer 2

There is no such thing as a psychic that's why. They conduct the age old art of "cold reading" At times they may appear psychic, but really its all just general information they give. Its really a shame that people follow  so called "psychics" and that these "psychics" rip off thousands of people. I think Cleo got caught for it.

Answer 3

There was a psychic in a town of 6000 when I started working there. She went out of business in 6 months. I think she should have seen that one coming before she leased the building for a year. Also I might be a psychic I had a vision that your name is Stacie.

Answer 4

yeah i know huh

Answer 5

Exactly.  Why? Because it's a scam that preys on lonely, sad, and confused people...   if you had that kind of power, you would not be working at a d**n call centre.  lol

You know what bugs me more than phone psychics..??  TV psychics, like John Edwards, and James Van Prauge.  The dead can tell these people all sorts of soppy, heart-felt apologies and reasuarances to pass on to their living family members, yet they cant tell them more than the first letter of their name.   "I'm sensing a presence here now...  yes, it's a woman...  she's telling me 'C'...   her name begins with 'C'...   (a little while later)   "And she wants me to tell you she loves you, and that her passing was not your fault, and she will always remember the things you did for her and the way that you were always there for her an how blah, blah, blah...  "  

All that, and you can't even give ur name..??   Please.  lol

Because psychics are so smart, they know that most of the people that call them will be terrified if the complete stranger on the other line knows their name.

Or because it costs like $5 a minute and they want to stall the caller for as long as possible.
