okay.
Laura Bushnell claims to have the breast milk of the virgin mary, and charges money to see it and touch it. is that not fraud?
laura bushnell claims to have a piece of the cross jesus died on, and charges to touch it, is that not fraud?
Bushnell tells everyone that she can make a fountain of water come out of her hand,,,she calls it the nectar of giving,,,she charges money for work,,,where is the giving?
Bushnell is now weaving her mother mary yarn again,,,now she channels the virgin mary and gives messages. it is on her site at magicklady.com
That was her original scam way back when,,,that she channel the Virgin Mary for money.
Laura practices black magic on her clients, to get them to give her money. Please watch out for her, she is an accomplished liar
Laura Bushnell is a fake psychic.
she milked me out of 950.00 and asked me for a 3 digit code off the back of my credit card!!
she seems to be a fake and a con artist.
she did not get even one thing right in my reading.
told me that my energy was warped….(I own a business, long term relationship,ect)
and that only she can “untie the knots of karma”
what a liar!!
someone needs to report her to the police.
I don’t believe that the police like to get too involved in such cases because proving that a psychic is a fraud is far from easy – you’re paying for a very subjective service.
Are these letters common in the UK? I’ve never seen one – but maybe I’m not on “the list”.
I can’t believe that woman was spending 400 pounds a month.
That depends on how you define ‘common’.
I’ve never had one but I do know a few people who have.
I’ve just never seen one and I’ve received a lot of crap mail in my life.
As Mike said, once you reply to one then you are most definitely on a list.
If you’re sensible and steer clear of these scams then you’re only likely to receive one by chance.
Having worked in the mail order industry for several years, I can confidently say that these scammers are making their money from two sources:
1) the people they scam
2) selling their victims’ names to mailing lists (,25 to $25 per name)
But I wonder how the “honest” psychics can say with a straight face that they are “helping” people. They prey on the same insecurities, the same vulnerabilites as the mail order scammers — they just have a storefront!
Hi Mike, good to see a fellow Twitterer here
Your second point is a very good one. If someone falls prey to any type of scam, not just psychic ones, then they gain free entry to ‘the sucker’s list’ which will lead to a barage of scams landing on their doorstep or in their inbox.
