Kelly, if you can ask someone who has been solicited by a psychic to find their missing loved one to recollect as accurately as possible what was said/claimed by the psychic in the conversation, I will be happy to write a Self-Defense Course on how to handle such calls. The more input you can collect from various people, the better. That way we can get an idea of the typical sales pitch.
I imagine the psychics claim to have worked with the police and to have "helped" find missing children/loved ones, and so on.
I would write such an article along these lines:
If a psychic calls you to offer their services, here are the following steps you should take...
1. Hang up.
Of course, I would go into more than that. I would arm them with questions to ask the psychic. Name the children you found. Name the police you helped. Dates, places, etc. Were you credited in any media reports? Which ones? Dates. Do you have ANY references at all, you freaking creep?
You get the idea.
