Let me share how difficult making money has become for providing intuitive readings on-line. At LivePerson, customers rate their intuitive reader on a 1-to-5 star basis. That means any newcomer can quickly see how legitimate a psychic's reading will be, or not, just by looking at how many stars she has.
Sadly, that rating system doesn't stop inquirers from insulting the talent and asking for free services, question after question after question. They regularly pose as legitimate customers and post questions for the readers on the public board for all to see.
Based on intuition, I knew that was exactly what this customer, below, was up-to (wanting something for nothing). So, feeling rather tired, nine hours after many other psychics had legitimately responded to his question, I decided to throw in my opinionated two-bits.
All content, below, is cut-and-pasted exactly as it was first written. Only the login name was changed to protect the not-so-innocent begger (who could afford to tip for the services he indulges in).

I would like to request a reading about love and relationships. But I would like connection first.

Connection. As of 11:56 a.m. Pacific Standard Time you have not hired anyone yet. [That's my proof of connection.] Right now it feels as though you do not intend to hire.

I have not hired because I am not desperate and it is not life or death situation and certainly I am not going to hire YOU!
{LOL} . . . just seems funny to me.

I like the honesty displayed on both sides of that exchange. It is funny. He'll never know what he missed.
;)
You're absolutely right, Breath-e. Happy Samhain!
I'd like to hire you, but using the account by which The Holy Grail settles all accounts...
I'm planning on writing Patch Adams, calling him an idiot, and a lunatic, just so he doesn't feel so lonely.
What I'd like to do, is to start my own circus, and raise money enough to retire on, as well as immortalize myself, but I can't even sit a guest at a table, so it's an up-hill on my side. I'd actually like to employ Patch at a School of Witch Craft and Wizardry, more publicly a school of Mysticism and Ministry, where each apprentice wizard should bring an elder to the table, and Patch would open the Hospital, such that my students could attend the Injured, Cancerous, Alienated and Author, as well as the Elder and the Younger. Patch, however, has an insane relationship towards Money, and I'd like his fantasy of Healling to have a better relationship to that Psychosis called Reality.
He doesn't like E-Mail, but only Snail-Media; I'm a bit Kludgy with that interface.
Drawn is the Five of Swords Inverted, looking like someguy is taking the spoils, so indicating that the spoils are unaccepted: Uncertain outlook; Chance of loss or defeat; Weakness; Possible misfortune befalling a friend; Seduction; Burial... Patch and I both, but I'm open to what others might see.

Arawn ~ Do tell how calling someone (Patch Adams or anyone else) derogatory names could possibly make them feel less lonely?
It takes one to know one; he's an idiot.
Scientology, as a Culture, has the money he wants, in opening his hospital, but he's going to need a viable buisiness plan. Jeremy Perkins and Jett Travolta, have made the point, that Scientology is not tooled for the Psychiatric Market, and Scientology won't be the only culture looking for a competant alternative.
I can see how he should procede, but not how I should procede.
