Tara the medium - anyone else heard?

I'm being plagued by emails from someone calling themselves Tara, a medium :mad:

I'm not one to be easily taken in by cons and can usually spot them a mile off but this is really p***ing me off because right now I'm feeling very low and vulnerable and the things the emails say really reflect my life. She promises good luck and fortune, good health etc. and says she knows how awful things are for me right now (which they are).

I realise it's not geniune and have no intention of replying for filling in her form, but it really touches a nerve and is clear to see how people are taken in by things like this :mad:

I just wondered if anyone else is receiving these emails?

Rant over :o

    I have been receiving them twice a day for a while now
    I know it is not a good idea to reply to these but I got fed up and told her I would report her for harrassment.
    I don't know if it will work or make things worse, but have not received one since Wednesday.
    Here's hoping
    Thanks to all who post comps :)

    :(I am getting them and today she has a gift of £70 waiting for me! I really could do with £70 but I suspect that that is what it will cost me to get the gift!!!!!!!!

    This might help you to put some perspective on so called mediums etc http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_reading and also ask yourself if she were for real why hasn't she claimed this http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/1m-challenge.html these people are charlatans, always have been and always will be, ignore her hun and best of luck- hth:)
    Thank you for this site Martin
    The time for change has come
    Good luck for the future

    Yes - me too :o regularly over the last few weeks!! Maybe it's from a comp we all went in for?? Don't know - however - it's rubbish, take no notice - stick it into spam. Don't even read the emails, they mean nothing. Complete and utter ****! Please don't be upset by these and don't read anything into them. They are meaningless. No doubt quite a few of us are receiving them and hopefully we are all binning them! Love and best wishes Alfie :) xx

    That is really interesting - I loved that programme where Derren Brown basically proved how these mediums are charlatans and could actually do better readings than them without being psychic x
