Astrology/Psychic Scams

Scamwatch



What are Astrology and Psychic scams?

These promotions advise that you could come into a fortune if only you send funds to mail boxes for talismans, golden eggs or fortune telling guides to personal wealth. The material is normally bulk mailed from overseas though it appears to be specifically written to you (thousands of others may have been mailed the same request).

Be wary of replying to mail that advises you that you are about to come into riches, if only you send away for a golden egg, a talisman or some other fortune telling token.

Report it!

Remember to check whether it is already listed before making a report. If you have received an Astrology or Psychic Scam you can report it via the Scamwatch site.
