    DELETE, DELETE, DELETE!!!!!

    These types of emails are not from genuine mediums, just con artists, the same as those foreign lotteries etc

    .... but if you are into that sort of thing and seriously want a reading go to your local spiritualist church and get one for free!!!

    I never enter the competitions for any of "that" type of stuff but I've been getting these emails for three weeks now.
    Think I'll take alfieblue's advice and try to unsubscribe

    Hi all

    I'd been getting them too, for several months and yes I remember entering for a free reading.

    My cash flow had been tight when these first started coming and I found it insulting that she wanted me to buy an indepth reading to sort all my problems out. She said she'd been getting 'stong vibes' about me and that she could help me turn my life around. But, if she had genuinely had these 'strong vibes', she'd have known that the last thing I should have been spending my money on was her reading, when there were bills to be paid!

    It's appaulling how these people use others misfortune, to line their pockets.

    I used the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email about two weeks ago, and havent had any contact from her since.

    Ah, but it's probably not a 'she'. This is what I've been trying to say above... it's probably a department of scammers with naff all to do with 'readings' or mediums. As I've said, very clever marketing in that they use one woman's name and say 'I' throughout the emails and refer to you by name as your details have been passed on through something you've filled out at some stage which has been sold to scammers. Honestly, it's no better than other scammers who come out with sob stories, or tell you they've won millions on the lottery and need some random trustworthy person to put it in their bank account and take a cut. Probably worse as it can not only tug at heartstrings for some, but offers some a shoulder, or a belief that someone's looking out for them.

    Despicable.

    Exactly..... don't really understand how you can get a reading online either?
    :hello:
  • Oh Boy! - been getting scuzzy mails from this shower :eek: Honestly, it's all a pile of honk - just preying on the vulnerable ... "You've been having some bad luck - there is an evil force on ya - I can help you - blah-dee blah". Some of the mailshots I've had they haven't had the wit to change the year on ... ignore them peeps xxx
    "You give a little love and it all comes back to you! La La La La La La La!"
    Just loving comping and the good guys here!
