Sylvia Browne-You Fraud! email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1194)   ranked 296 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues5 months ago

That's right, Sylvia Browne is a fraud! I know I will step on a lot of toes of Sylvia Browne worshippers with this one, but she needs to be outted.

How do I come to this conclusion? Well, first off all, I knew she was a fraud the first time I laid eyes on her. The first five minutes I seen her on Montel, I had pegged her as a fraud. She gives off a cold and callous vibe and now years later I have been proven right.

She charges $750 for a phone reading. WTF??? No true psychic charges anywhere near that, if anything at all. I have a friend who is a psychic and does tarot card readings and she REFUSES to take any money for it. She said, true psychics don't, because it is a gift given to them and you don't sell gifts.

Now, aside from that, I found a website where Sylvia Browne is getting exposed for the fraud she is. I would implore everybody to read through it and read the articles, even if you are a die hard Sylvia Browne fan.

And listen to this "but the evil that she spews out there, and the damage she does to people - unsuspecting people that are in crisis situations - is just atrocious."
"." And she said - and I won't put it exactly the word that she said but she said - but "Screw 'em. Anybody who believes this stuff oughtta be taken." And that pretty much sums up Sylvia's philosophy about the psychic stuff. And it's carried over, you know, into her, quote, uh... fraudulent career."

That is what one of her ex husbands says. Read the whole interview here.

Here is the link to the website. I implore everybody to read this, before they get taken by that evil and callous woman.

Do you believe in psychics and if you do, can you spot a fraud?

I don't believe in psychics and i'm not at all surprised. She only tells you things you want to know and will never find out. If she tells you something and "it happened". Clearly think about why it happened, and if it would happen anyways. I assure you it would. There is no such thing and she is only hurting people that believe in her and will eventually only hurt herself.


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1194)   ranked 296 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

I do believe some people know how to tap into powers beyond our realm and can see and sense things nobody else can, but they are very few and far in between and Sylvia Browne is certainly not one of them.

I don't really believe in psychics. I have never believed any of the stuff that I have seen her say on Montel. I normally change the channel when she comes on the air. $750 for a reading over the phone is ridiculous. Even if I did believe in psychics I would not pay that much.


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1194)   ranked 296 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

I used to watch Montel whenever I could, but I also changed the channel when she ws on and I refuse to watch him now, because he still endorses her after all the times she has proven to be a fraud.

I'm not a fan of Sylvia Brown in particular but the notion that "real" physics do not charge for their "gift" is a foolish one. I know some feel that way, and I respect their right to not charge for their time- it's their time, but to impose that idea on others is unfair. We all have gifts. Artist, chefs, dancers, healers (whether we're talking about doctors or shamans) etc and we all live in a world that requires money to exist. I am soon to be a midwife. I would gladly attend women in labor & be paid in chickens, magic beans or nothing at all, but the bank that holds my mortgage doesn't have a chicken to cash conversion chart. In the US we have a free market system. People are not nor should not be dictated to as to what they should charge for their services. If I feel my time is worth x and my clients agree with me, there is nothing wrong with charging it.


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1194)   ranked 296 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

Yeah, but not $750 for a phone reading. That is outrageous. I can see chefs and midwifes like yourselves to want fees, it's a trained profession. But being psychic is a gift and I doubt you can go to school for that. It's not a learned trade. I can see a psychic asking to pay people for their "time" or for a consultation, but not for a five minute reading about how many kids I'm gonna have or what my next job will be.
I understand they have to make a living too,but a psychinc reading shouldn't cost as much as a months rent.

My friend works at k-mart to make a living and at the time she didn't know me well enough to get a few lucky guesses in, but everything she told me, about my past present and future came true 100%.


myLot reputation of 83/100. eden32 (2874)   ranked 686 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

I do agree that $750 is outrageous, but it's nothing to a celebrity who may want a reading. I also agree that the ability to "see" is in part a gift, but I think it's one that can be further developed & fine tuned. If your friend who worked at Kmart but doesn't charge for her readings choose to charge for her time perhaps she could afford to work less hours & spend her free time in meditation or whatever recharges her. Or she could donate the monies earned to charities she thinks will improve the future for others. Again, I respect that she chooses not to charge for her time but I don't think those that do charge for their time are automatically fake.

I am actually like Sylvia Brown and have read her book. However, what she may be doing is atrocious but it doesn't necessarily make her a fraud or not psychic. She may have gathered too much bad vibes that she turned bad. LOL! I really like what she wrote and its something that is really acceptable to me and holds so much possibilities. If what is said about her is true, then it is really such a pity since I am such a believer in psychics and the untapped capabilities of the mind. I did a lot of tarot reading too years ago and I never ever charge a thing. However, I stopped because I got scared of how accurate it could be and I also get to absorb the positive or negative vibes of the people I am reading with and I don't really like what I saw most of the time.


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1194)   ranked 296 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

I don't doubt there are real psychics, since I know one, but Sylvia Browne is not one of them. You should take some time out to read the articles on that website I posted. It's quite disturbing.


myLot reputation of 97/100. cdparazo (3797)   ranked 1,894 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

I actually believe in what she is saying but as to the person, well, everyone who claims to be psychic is suspect to me. If she is as bad as it says, it still doesn't negate what she wrote or says because I believe there is truth in it. God works in mysterious ways so to say. If she is bad, then she is the loser.


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1194)   ranked 296 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

That's the problem though, she doesn't even believe herself in what she is saying. Her books, her church and all these things are all just to make money. She makes stuff up as she goes.

For example: she claims she doesn't smoke, yet according to witnesses she smokes like a chimney.
Her closest assistants call her followers "freaks" and she knows about this.
She is making fun of her asian limo driver.saying things like, she felt like shooting her because she got lost.

She doesn't practice what she preaches.

5. myLot reputation of 78/100. whiteheather39 (11109)   ranked 141 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues   5 months ago

I absolutely, totally and completely agree with you. I cannot stand her as she comes across as such a cold, callous and completely unfeeling person plus her attitude of superiority completely turns me off. How anyone can believe this woman is beyond me.
When I was a teenager many, many years ago in Scotland and engaged to be married in a few months to a rather locally well known young man I went with some friends to visit a psychic and get a reading. Much to my astonishment she told me the marriage would not take place but that I would cross the ocean and marry a blue eyed dark haired foriegner...and...result .. no marriage to my fiancee, traveled across the world to North Africa, met and married a German with blue eyes and dark!!!
So I do believe that there are some gifted psychics but as the one I saw was so on the mark I will never go to another one again as I do not want to know the future in case is it not what I want.


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1194)   ranked 296 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

She does have an air of superiority to her, you're right. That's the word I was looking for lol. I'm just wondering how those die hard fans don't see that. It's so obvious.

6. myLot reputation of 100/100. Wyldrose (541)   ranked 957 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues   5 months ago

I used to be a die-hard Sylvia Browne fan. I bought all her books (yes, I still have them) and took in everything she said as the truth. I watched her on Montel every Wednesday without fail and was amazed at the way she could just look at someone without knowing them and predict what happened or what was going to happen to them. I even wished I could go talk to her personally because of a problem I had. But, after a little research on my own... I had already seen the sites you mentioned.. and a lot of thinking, I came down to earth really fast! There is more negative out there about her than there is positive. I got to thinking, how can anyone really "see" the things she does? Does she really go to "the other side" and come back to tell us about their huge rooms and the angels and the other numerous things she has mentioned in her books. I believe there are true psychics out there, but they don't charge and arm and a leg to give you a reading. Anyway, I've become more and more skeptical over the last few months about her and her "powers." Now that I can look at her more objectively, I can see where she just seems to say whatever the other person wants to hear and just brushes everything else off. I have my own thoughts about religion in general and have been studying the Bible more and I can't see where alot of her thoughts about God and heaven are true or even come close.


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1194)   ranked 296 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

I think she makes that sh!t up as she goes along. Whatever sounds good and believable, is what she puts in her books it seems like.


myLot reputation of 100/100. Wyldrose (541)   ranked 957 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

It does seem that way. I feel for all the people she's taken over the years. Even me...I'll admit. I fell for her so-called teachings hook, line and sinker. I bought her books. Well I guarantee I won't spend another dime where she is concerned.

WOW!!

Lets say that it indeed is all true...what a cryin shame.
First of all the folks that seek her out are in need of answers to the many questions that they have. People that are desperate to know that the loved ones they miss are indeed safe and sound and around them everyday.

To charge $750 for a reading?? That I find to be outrageous as how many people these days can afford that amount of money without taking a second mortgage on their homes or skipping some bills that month. All so they can have some comfort.

Disgusting and should be put out of her misery


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1194)   ranked 296 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

Yes, she needs to be thoroughly investigated and brought up on charges of fraud.


myLot reputation of 95/100. boppiedog (701)   ranked 3,366 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

God I hope that somebody can get that done.

Is she still on Montel?? It would be interesting to see what his stance would be.

I do believe in psychics, but most of them are frauds and I would never go to one.

This girl I used to work with got all excited when she heard Brown was coming to Tacoma and when I revealed what I knew about what a fraud Brown was you should have seen her reaction; I might as well have told her I could fly. She was SHOCKED with disbelief. It threw me for a loop because I had never met a Slyvia Brown kool aid drinker before and I didn't even know they existed. I have since learned that people WORSHIP this woman and every word she utters and that REALLY freaks me out.

Creepy....


myLot reputation of 55/100. Riptide (1194)   ranked 296 out of 6,029 in have discussion on day to day issues  5 months ago

Yup, they think she's the best invention since sliced bread. Even when presented with evidence of her fraudulent behavior, they still don't want to hear it. I just hope that someone takes her out of business soon, so she doesn't suck more people dry.

She's worse then eany televangelist I ever seen lol.
