The curse-removal script
The reading starts normally, then turns grave: there is a curse, a block, a dark presence attached to you or your family. It can be lifted, but the work is expensive and must start immediately.
This is fraud, and it is prosecuted as such. No legitimate reader diagnoses a curse and then sells the cure. If you hear it, stop paying and leave.
The tell is the structure, not the vocabulary: a problem you did not come in with, which only this person can solve, for a price that escalates.
Manufactured urgency
- 'I am seeing something serious but we are almost out of time.' The meter is the point of the sentence.
- A window that closes: this must be done before the full moon, before he contacts you, before the month ends.
- Pressure to move to a private channel and pay outside the platform, which removes every protection you have.
Urgency is how someone stops you thinking. A real reading survives you closing the window and coming back tomorrow.
Scripted replies that exist to keep you paying
Many scams run on a script or on generated text rather than on a person reading you. The reply matters less than where it leads: toward a paid next step.
- It flatters you, names a problem you never mentioned, and offers to fix it for a fee.
- It ignores a specific you gave but never stops to ask about it.
- Every answer ends on a deadline, a warning or an upsell.
Whether a reply was written by a person is a separate question, covered in our guide on whether psychic readings are real. Here the test is simpler: does the next step cost money to avoid a harm?
What legitimate practice looks like
Rates visible before you start, not after. A stated minimum session length, or none. The ability to stop at any point without losing a prepaid balance.
A reader who tells you when a question is outside what a reading can address, and says so rather than improvising. A reader who declines to give you a date.
And a platform that lets you get a real answer before it asks for a card — because a free sample that ends mid-sentence is an advertisement, not a reading.
If it has already happened to you
Stop paying immediately and do not send anything further to 'complete' the work. Escalating payments are the mechanism, not a step towards resolution.
Contact your card issuer or payment provider — this is a recognised fraud category and disputes are often successful. Report it to the platform, which usually has more incentive to act than people assume.
It is worth saying plainly: being taken in by this says nothing about your judgement. The script is designed by people who have refined it on thousands of others, and it targets everyone at the point where they are least able to resist it.
