How to Tell If a Psychic or Medium Is Legit (And Not a Scam)
With so many psychics and mediums online, how do you know who to trust? Here’s how to spot the real deal, avoid scams, and get the most out of your reading—whether you’re a skeptic, a believer, or just curious.
Why It Matters
Protects your energy and money: Scams are common, but a genuine psychic or medium can offer real insight and support.
Empowers your choices: Knowing what to look for helps you feel safe and confident.
7 Signs a Psychic or Medium Is Legit
1. They Don’t Promise the Impossible
No one can guarantee lottery wins, reunite you with an ex, or predict every detail of your future. Be wary of big promises.
2. They Empower, Not Scare
A real psychic or medium focuses on guidance and support—not fear, doom, or pressure to buy more services.
3. They Have a Clear, Professional Presence
Look for a website, reviews, and clear policies. Transparency is a good sign.
4. They Respect Boundaries
A legit reader will never pressure you for money, personal info, or to keep coming back. You should always feel free to walk away.
5. They’re Honest About Their Limits
No psychic is 100% accurate. The best ones admit what they don’t know and encourage you to use your own judgment.
6. They Encourage Discernment
A trustworthy psychic will remind you to trust your own intuition and never give away your power.
7. You Feel Safe and Respected
Trust your gut. If something feels “off,” listen to that feeling.
Red Flags: When to Walk Away
They ask for large sums of money to “remove curses” or guarantee results.
They pressure you for personal info or ongoing payments.
They use fear tactics (“something bad will happen if you don’t…”).
Real-Life Story
“I once had a reading where the psychic told me I needed to buy expensive candles to ‘clear my energy.’ I left, and later found a reader who focused on empowering me instead—night and day difference!”
The Real Magic
A real psychic or medium will always empower you, respect your boundaries, and remind you that the answers you seek are already inside you.
