Scammers actively use social networks to impersonate famous tarot readers and psychics, copying their accounts and publishing stolen photos.

In some cases, victims of scammers have faced situations where, after paying for a so-called session, they are offered a "cleanse" or the purchase of additional goods such as candles to supposedly get rid of negative energy. Scammers create an atmosphere of urgency and demand money in aggressive ways, and then disappear, deactivating accounts and leaving victims without any services.

One of the victims told how after receiving the drawing of the "fateful partner" he was disappointed, since the depicted person turned out to be much older than expected. After the predicted acquaintance did not take place, the victim demanded a refund, but faced resistance and attempts to convince her otherwise.

In addition, there are reports of more frightening cases. For example, one "psychic" allegedly stalked victims through a global network of satanic and occult rituals to force them to seek help or even extort money.

Also, users of such online services complain about identity theft, phishing, cyberstalking, and even hacking of their devices.
