Avoiding Imposter Accounts: A Guide for Clients

Imposter accounts are a growing problem, with scammers stealing profiles, photos and content to pose as legitimate Tarot readers. They often target existing followers and contact them directly, pretending to offer readings. Here’s how to protect yourself:

• Recognise Red Flags:
  • A Tarot reader contacting you via private message to sell readings.
  • Claims of having a “special” or “important” message for you.
  • Requests for payment through unprotected methods like PayPal’s “friends and family.”
• Verify the Account:
  • Check for slight differences in the name, bio or email address.
  • Look at the profile—few posts or recently created pages are warning signs.
  • Contact the reader through the account you already follow to confirm authenticity.
• Protect Your Payments:
  • Avoid sending money via unprotected methods.
  • Ensure the payment details match the reader’s official name or business.

Remember: Legitimate Tarot readers don’t cold-message clients or request payments through insecure channels. If you spot a scam account, report it immediately. Stay cautious and double-check any unsolicited offers.
