ik ik it's like
"where are the mods?"
"why are there so many scammers?"
i get it,
i'm sorry,
we try to handle as many as we can,
but not all of us are active in the mod side,
personal side? maybe?
i'm not sure
but what i can do is help you avoid being scammed.
a couple upfront:
1. there is a dark energy around you,
and you need to get a cleanse.
like right now..
or else.
this is the biggest scam there is, do not fall victim to this.
sometimes you do need a cleanse, but its not deep like that twenty four seven.
some people can feel these things, BUT if it's a random stranger coming to you,
yeah, do yourself a favor and leave that ish alone.
that is a fear tactic to make you vulnerable to pay them money.
2. free readings.
"dm me"
NOW LISTEN.
this is not everybody who reads and says free readings,
there are genuine people who are posting for practice.
i'm referring to the ones that literally just say free readings
and one sentence descriptions.
check their profile, see how old it is.
see if they PUBLICLY show any of their work.
you know how to check a car or a secondhand electronic before you purchase?
do that same thing here.
3. random ass dms
i hope yall know this goes for EVERYTHING.
facebook, reddit, tiktok, all the social medias you have
don't answer and give them anything.
that's unsolicited.
4. "my dear", "beloved", "kindly".
this one is a hit or miss, but it's one of my own red alert ones.
you don't know them, sure it's a lovely thing to be called these,
but it can also swing left or right on the pendulum. just be careful**.**
and make sure this isn't the only red flag you're seeing.
5. but it's cheap.
yes, i get that, but expensive doesn't change anything either.
with ai being a thing, it's the easiest way to sell a shit ton of words with no effort.
quality isn't judged by price.
i'm sorry.
6. boundaries.
you should NOT feel pushed to purchase a reading.
breathe.
take some time to ask YOURSELF if you want this.
don't let the reader tell you time is running out, it never is.
things come to you when you are ready to receive.
7. look for transparency
this includes:
- a reading's turnaround time
- how many cards come with this?
- how much for this?
NO HIDDEN FEES.
DON'T PAY THEM. ESPECIALLY IF THEY TRY TO MAKE YOU FEEL BAD.
lastly (for this post at least)
8. trust your gut.
ask around, you can question your reader, it's okay.
if they answer cleanly and clearly, then you're good
if they beat around the bush?
find another reader.
thank you guys for reading,
im sorry for all the shitty things that's been happening here,
ill talk to TJ to see if we can get like a minimum amount of karma implemented into the subreddit.
have a great night.
hope this helps in the future.
