Today on news @ 5pm, they said that FTC is filing a lawsuit against the company that run the hotline for fraud. Miss Cleo is facing more than 100 lawsuits from it's customers.

Once this happens, Miss Cleo will spend time in jail, maybe?

God, I hate these ads on tv, she is fake, for real!

There've been a bunch of suits going back a while, but apparently the FTC is finally joining in. We talked about Miss Cleo and various legal activities here about four months ago (there's no new news at WTC!).

You mis-pronounced it. It should be:

Calla me up for your free readin'.

For WHT members alone, I will be giving free readings.
Call me now at 1-803-356-1981.
Only costs you your long distance.
Upon me answering, you must say "Rewdog oh wise one, enlighten me".

This should be fun. :)

This is a great article from one of her "psychics":

http://dailyrevolution.com/allgood/010608.html#today



But I think it is time for me to come clean, for the last year I have been working as a psychic for Miss Cleo, and I have been telling all the 12 year olds who call that they should start a hosting company :D.

I know someone who ran up a $1,000+ phone bill on that crap :P. Her parents then kicked her out of the house and she lives with her grandma.. I wonder if Miss Cleo told it that would happen? :P
