I had met this lady a few weeks ago who did numerology sessions on the side of her regular job. She had offered me a session at the time and I had refused. I ended up finding her number a few weeks later and had arranged to book a session.
I had been seeing all these numbers repeating, and thought, why not have some fun, right? I don’t really believe in that kinda stuff, but it would be interesting to see what values people ascribe to things as random as numbers, and see what I think about it. An hour session was gonna come out to upwards of 200+ dollars 💀 .
I apologised saying I should’ve asked for a quote beforehand, but she tries to call me (I didn’t pick up) and she then texts me that “people usually call me when they’re in need and I recommend the session”, but it’s like…of course you would, you’re making 200+ dollars off of me lol.
No disrespect to her, but I hate that everyday interactions are warped by profit 😓. I get everyone has to eat, but damn, wtf?
It’s literally just a charlatan scam, like homeopathy, tarot card readings, psychics and mediums, etc. The people who perform that are some of the lowest of the low: they admit that people who come to them are at a bad point in their life and very in need of help, and they prey on that because it’s an opportunity for quick money. Vulnerable people who don’t question your bullshit, that’s an easy mark.
(Edit: tarot, not taro)
I completely agree, these grifters target the most exploited sectors of the population that are gullible enough to believe in this sort of stuff.
That’s funny. I literally searched because I couldn’t remember which was the root vegetable and which was the card thing. And somehow I still got it wrong.
Lesson definitely learned. There’s always people looking for fools to finesse. I wouldn’t have minded if it was like 30 a session, but 200+ is disrespectful. I think I intentionally rejected the offer because I also wanted to see how she would react. I figured if she left it alone, then she was probably someone a lot of people had reached out to before. Lo and behold, she tries to call me back within a few minutes to try and finesse me lol.
