Carmela’s Psychic Shop

This woman is a fake.
I have been going to psychics for years and not once did they ask for money up-​front, in cash, days before the reading was supposed to take place.
Granted, I was an idiot for going along with her scheme but I didn’t listen to my better judgement and gave her the cash anyway — with no receipt. Again, I admit to my stupidity.
She charged my $ 90 and told me to come back another day when she would have the «oils» prepared (again, something I have never heard of) and then she would give me a «life reading» to tell me who my soulmate was and to direct me on the right path.
A week later, I call her and call her and she comes up with every excuse in the book («i’m at church… I’m too busy, can you call tomorrow… I feel sick, try tomorrow?).
Finally we agree to meet on a Friday. I get to her office early so I call her, she says she is no where near the place, and asks if I could do the reading over the phone. I was so fed-​up trying to coordinate with her that I just agreed. Within 10 minutes, my reading was over and she basically read a psychic manual on the internet. («People are jealous of you… you were troubled now you are not… you are in a good place…») Blah, blah, blah. She also told me to contact her later to get my free precious stone. Thanks, but you can keep your rock.
In other words, it is easier just to flush your money down a drain. Or throw out a window. That may even be more fun.
