While I am no expert in this arena...I have heard on the news that she is involved in several lawsuits right now for fraud. Something you might think or ask about.

I've heard the same thing!

I think I would check out a couple other tarot by phone companies before settling with one, if this is something you want/need to do. :D

I've heard that too & I'm up here in Canada.

I also heard that Miss Cleo is up for some charges for fraud. So youi should definally check that out before giving an answer :)

[rantnraven]

Nope!

I have a friend who worked for a psychic/tarot reading phone network.

You do what you have to do to make money. And hey you probably already have some talent at doing this stuff so you have an advantage already.

Other then that, you may want to check the fraud thing out but you know how rumours and charges go :rolleyes:

[feywytch]

I received several e mails like that.....it would no tbother me so much but....I never in my life volunteered for such a thing..

And she is being sued... those who see her tv ad can also see price per minute is now gone down since suit was filed....hmmmm coincidence???? LOL :)

I guess I am just an old fashioned witch....I prefer to read in person. :)

Personally I would never consider it because I would only want to be associated with honest tarot readers charging down to earth prices. But I guess someone is doing it. Just be careful with that fraud thing...it could drag you down with them.

.I would love my taro read,and maybe start reading myself.

Um, be careful of companies that don't require EXPERIENCE to work for them....... the ones that I researched for phone psychics required tarot certificates and/or professional reading experience and references. They did NOT train people and did NOT hire people that didn't have more than a passing acquiantance with tarot. It's unfortunate that more of the companies promoting her ads weren't more careful or more honest.

The lawsuit is about that fact that free calls, discounted rates, and/or free minutes were promised and never given. I recieve daily emails about winning something or new membership discounts or some other line of balony from one of the sites that promotes her online that I stumbled onto. I didn't sign up for anything, I didn't submit for a mailing list, but there it is...this particular site spams anyone that happens to go there....and you can block the address, the domain, and everything else thinkable to keep from getting them but they still come through to your mail box under the same origin and return addy. They forge the email headers to force these emails into your inbox.

That's just one example of how unscrupulous some of these companies can be.... not that I think they all are, cause I don't. Here in Florida they are allowed to do the TV ads without including the price per minute for the call....its pretty frustrating to see that, and know how badly some of these companies are gouging the people that go to them for a reading.

I've been researching companies to read tarot by phone for about three months, and the ones that seem on the up and up really aren't willing to hire someone like me w/o the certificate or professional experience or real references to give. So I'm working on those things so that I could work for one of them if I chose to. Who knows??? :D

My Husband and I were starting an online buisness a while ago, for palm and tarot readings. We also go to area taverns, restaurants, parties, etc, and provide our service. So..one night, after seeing the CLEO commercials for the 100,000th time, we called, kinda to "Check out" the competition.

First of all, let me tell you. She advertises her "Personal extension"..but NEVER do you get to speak to Her directly..no matter how many times you call.

Secondly...her readers, which I experienced, and i called THREE times that night, in case the first two were just flukes...are complete frauds.

How do I know this? First, they ask you what you need to know about. In this case, it was whether or not I'd be making a move in the next year. Then, they asked me what my birthsighn was. Where I lived now, where I wanted to move to..why?? was my husband supportive of the idea??? As I'm answering these questions..i'm thinking to myself..."Hey..aren't YOU supposed to be answering these questions FOR me?". In the end of my answering all these questions...the answer was just.."Yes, you'll be making a move in the next year"...but..they didn't even TELL me what cards they chose!!!! LOL. I asked what cards had come up..and the guy..."Leroy"...said..."Oh..I don't use cards..i'm just psychic.". GRRRRRRRR.

Second Call...Question? Will I be making a move in the next year?
Cards dealt Five of Pentacles. Her explanation from THAT card...was..."You will be making a move, and there will be much profit in it.". WHERE DID SHE GET THAT???? From the Five of Pentacles??? GRRRRR..

Third reading...The person was OBVIOSLY reading the tarot handbook that it came with. She kept messing up on words..as one does when they are reading something too fast...you know..like..struggling with her reading skills (reading as in BOOK reading).

So...I wouldn't personally wish to be associated with that buisness. There are MANY online Tarot buisnesses looking for help right now. Some are good, some are bad. I would reccomend getting a book (i forget the author)..called.."secrets of a telephone psychic". He talks about his experiences as a telephone psychic. It's mostly funny..but he makes some good points.

You might try going to Keen.Com. I've actually gotten some VERY good readings off of there. The people who sighn up on that service to work, genuinely seem to have ability..and are compassionate, and caring. Get a reading, decide what you think, they are VERY affordable, and THEN decide whether or not you want to do it for a living :)

PS...I love doing my readings for people in public, or on the phone, or on the computer. I'll admit, i've been off a couple of times on the computer, but if I'm off..I tell the person that I feel I'm off..and I ask them to let me reshuffle, or do not charge them. I don't just read for money because I'm greedy. I read because I like doing it. I like opening peoples eyes to the fact that this stuff IS real. And I like helping people. The reason I get paid for it, is so that there is some exchange of energy. Reading a lot of people in one day/night, can be very tiring. You feel a little.."Zapped" afterward. So when you are getting paid for it...you feel like you are being replenished in some way. BTW...at gigs..I charge 20.00 per reading..how ever long it takes. Not bad, IMO.

My fiance's ex was a wee bit obsessed with psychic networks, and racked up several hundred dollar bills for him to pay on several occasions. I bet they all told her they were staying together forever too :P

Is it ethical? Maybe. But you need the money and if I needed the money I'd take the job.

[KyGreenWitch]

I've heard that fraud allegations on her, too. Sorry. You would be better on your own. Journey well, friend.
