Psychics and Tarot Readers Are Under Siege By Instagram Scammers

 

Impersonation is becoming one of the hottest issues in the world of mystical labor...

 

The scammers typically copy all of their target’s photos and captions, create a new Instagram account that mirrors theirs as much as possible, and then start following and messaging people who follow the target. The impersonators—who often address the follower as “beloved” or “dear”—say they felt irresistibly compelled to reach out, that they need to urgently tell them something from their spirit guides, and offer to give the follower a reading, always for a price.

 

Not wanting to make light of people's misfortune in being scammed, but I can't quite get a reading on my moral compass.

To be fair they should have known before it happened and reported it to Instagram to get the 'fake' account banned in advance... :confused:

I had a similar thought a few years back when the New Forest Fairy Festival was shortened due to adverse weather; somehow none of the psychic types with stalls managed to warn the organisers.
