Christine from Narberth, PA, asked:
Hi Julie,
I allowed myself to be scammed by a “psychic”. She told me lies and because I was vulnerable, I believed her.
She told me that after I die, I would wander in Limbo forever unless I did what she told me to do. She convinced me to give her a lot of money so she could bury it in her backyard and draw evil spirits away from me. It was extortion and a bunch of hooey. Of course, I knew better.
My dilemma is, now what do I do about it? Do I go back and confront her about her lies or do I let it go? I feel a responsibility to others to expose her because most likely if she did this to me, she is hurting others as well.
It’s been several years but it still bothers me. What is the best course of action? Confront her or let it go?
Thanks for your input.
Christine
Hi Christine,
I’m so sorry to hear you were swindled by a psychic.
Unfortunately, every industry has unscrupulous people and the psychic field is not exempt.
The “give me money and I’ll bury it in my back yard” scam is one I’ve heard before.
My best advice is to let it go and report the fraudulent psychic to your local police. That way, there will at least be a paper trail on her.
In Catholic theology, Limbo was believed to be the border place between Heaven and Hell where the souls who died without being baptized, though not condemned to punishment, were deprived of eternal happiness with God in Heaven.
I believe the evil spirit and Limbo concepts were used for millennia to control the masses with fear and are total nonsense. In today’s world, the concept of Limbo isn’t really discussed. Kudos to the ones who made that decision!
In the future, only go to a reputable psychic and pay with a credit card. That will help protect you from fraudsters.
And, no need to worry about evil spirits, or the threat of Limbo.
