{"success":true,"data":{"id":"fake-psychic-clairvoyant-paid-reading-scam","label":"Fake psychic / clairvoyant / medium paid reading scam — urgent vision/message about you + pay for private reading / lucky talisman / protection ritual / deceased loved one message","description":"Fake psychic, clairvoyant, medium, astrologer, or spiritual advisor scam — mass-mailed cold email claiming the sender has had an \"urgent psychic vision\" about the recipient, has a \"message from a deceased loved one,\" sees a \"dark cloud\" that needs removing, or has prepared a \"lucky talisman\" — all requiring a fee ($20–$150) to receive the reading, ritual, charm, or protection. These are industrialized fraud operations using mail-merge to personalize generic templates. No legitimate reading, talisman, or spiritual protection requires cold-contact and upfront payment. FTC and state AGs classify these as deceptive trade practices. Reported losses: FTC 2024 shows psychic/spiritual fraud caused $92M in consumer losses, with elderly women most frequently targeted.","tier":"danger","category":"scam","isThin":false}}
