Have you ever called Miss Cleo? I think that she is getting rich with all the people that have called her. Now she is spamming everyone.

If you get the Miss Cleo idea from the post in the removeyou.com thread?? :)

I would never call her... Cost to damn much... I don't have $4/min to waste... that's food money over here....

And half the time its not even Miss Cleo you're talking to.... and she's in several lawsuits across the US right now... even a lawsuit from around here in the Tampa area... For false advertising and the like (not sure exactly).

A few state AGs have either sued or are considering it, at least one one-time customer (from Florida) has filed suit, and a class action suit is being considered. Details:

Well I must admit...

Half the "psychics" on tv aren't really psychics...

My mother in law called one a couple months ago, just to see.... And they said, I (me personally), would be pregnant and have a child in April....

Well I'm not pregnant.... and its way past the time that a child would be born in April (unless it was born really early)...

*rolls eyes*

Now did they specify which year you'd have that baby?! There's a little note at the bottom of the commercial that says it's just for fun. I don't call because I predict they're going to ask for a credit card number. If they were truly psychic they'd know it already and just answer all your questions without you having to ask. :)

Actually it was suppose to happen April 2002. And the psychic said I was pregnant already (which I'm not)... lol

I think I'm going to be a psychic reader.... I mean most of them just give bland answers anyways.... that anyone could say..

"You know someone with the first name that starts with an M... Mike, Mitchell, Mark..."

Just about everyone has to know someone like that... hehe

"You have something in your mind"
"Yes"
"It has been bothering you for sometime"
"Yes, it's my moth..."
"It has to do with your mother"
"Wow, Miss Tonya you really know"
"Now tell me more about it"
Well it that she does not forget that I'm a grown person"
"She still thinks your her little baby, right?"
"Yes, I can't stand it"
Well, don't get mad. It's that she really love you and she has not learned to let you go, have you talked to her about it?"

LOL...

*in a Carribean accent*

"Call me now for your free readin..."

I am tempted to call her, as I keep getting spam emails from her. If she was truely a physic like she says she was, then she would know I'm under 18. Also I thought I heard that she was being sued because she was reading all her "material" from a book, but I might have just heard about the same thing JayC posted and got it confused with something else.

For entertainment only. Must be 14 years of age to call. Parents credit cards are welcomed. Generous tips are accepted, and may be taken out of your credit card (or parents credit card) without your appoval. Miss Tonya is not responsible for any misleading information that may be given by her "real physic" or her.

*Miss Tonya*
Call now! You will me amazed!

LOL

too funny

I can imagine a call.

"Hello this is Miss Tonya"
"Hi Miss Tonya... I really admire you..."
"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... what’s the credit card number?"
"0000000000000000"
"Ok, thats better"
"Well Miss Tonya tell me about my love life"
"Oh No No, hold on credit card still processing. No money in card no Miss nothing"
"I’m sorry"
"B*tch your card has no money"
"But I just called them they said there was $200 in it"
"And do you know how much I charge for my gift"
"Yes, you said its a free call"
"No first 3 minutes free after that $15 per minute and 20 minute minimum, plus my tip. You don’t even have money for the tip"
"Well I’m sorry"
"Sorry my a$$ now for you making me waist time I will be taking those $200...good bye"
*click*

It is also reported that she was one of the so-called psychics that used to work for Deonne Warwick (sp?). And she even didn't have the accent then. When the Psychic Friends Network went out of business, the headlines in my local papers said "Psychic Friends Network files for bankruptcy: They didn't see it coming!"

In my opinion, all are fake or they'd be too rich to be answering a phone.

At least you think! What they forgot to say was it's an Alien baby! *thunder crack* And now if you don't call up miss cleo she'll have to go Sigourney Weaver on your butt. :D

Fun thing to do to anyone you hate:
Make flyers with their phone # & Address saying miss cleo is giving night owl free reading from the hours of 12 am to 5am. Post them all over town. >:)

What about the psychics that went out of business? Obviously they would have known ahead of time. And did Miss Cleo know that she was going to get sued?

Actually one of those suits makes an allegation that they are reading from a script: not the meaning of "reading" that they are advertising -- so that may be what you had read. It's not that "she" is, it's not likely that the woman appearing on the tv commercials is the person who'd be doing your "reading." It's the staff of "telemarketers" who would take your call.

You mean she doesn't personally take all the calls? *jumps off bridge*

A free psychic reading from Rewdog to all the readers out there.

Ahh, i'm looking into my big liquid crystal display box.
I see, I see, AN ADVERTISEMENT FROM *****!

redwog,

can you explain littlemore clear about ***** thing

im curious myself :D

Hey,
I called from a friends house one time and didnt finish my
"Free Reading". Well they call every week or so and leave
messages that my free reading is still available and that
I should act quick!!!!
weirdos!

--Brad

Give Ms Cleo a break! Her prediction about the birth was correct, the reading was simply given to the wrong party.

I predict the future will be different from what some of us expect. Now where's my $14.95?

"I see a lot of people in your life"
"Yes, that's amazing"
"Some of them are men, and some are women"
"Oh my god! That is sooo true"
"You have been or are in a relationship"
"You are so right! I should have called eariler."

Someone must be calling though... they are getting the money for all those commercials somewhere.

Sorry :)
***** advertises everywhere, howard stern, you name it. Well they found a way into the spirit world and paid some spirits to tell the psychics to promote ***** :D

Ahhh this brings back memories of the Suddenly Susan episode where Vicky decided to become a phone psychic and got herself a date with a guy she liked. Then he decided to call the psychic that predicted their meeting during dinner with Vicky and amazingly Vicky's phone started ringing right when he called. :D

"CALL ME NOW...Miss Cleo...ya hear me" :emlaugh:

It's hilarious that these "psychics" popup every now and again...just like those popups that just wouldn't go away.

You click close....and what happens? Yes...another popup...err.

Click change channel...and what happens? Yes..its another channel alright...but heck...it's that's voice again..."CALL ME NOW...Miss Cleo...ya hear me"

Ahhh! :eek3: :eek: :bawling:
