Psekups

Psekups is a term sometimes used colloquially to refer to a fraudulent scheme involving fake online psychic readings or spiritual consultations. These scams often prey on individuals seeking guidance, comfort, or solutions to personal problems. The perpetrators typically build trust through initial contact, often via social media, online advertisements, or unsolicited emails, promising profound insights or the ability to solve issues through their supposed psychic abilities.

The core of a psekups scam lies in the deception. Clients are often led to believe they are facing serious curses, negative energies, or spiritual blockages that require expensive remedies. These remedies can range from purchasing symbolic items like crystals or amulets, to paying for elaborate rituals or further readings. The costs are often escalated incrementally, with the promise that each paid service will bring the client closer to their desired outcome.

Victims are frequently isolated by the scammers, who discourage them from discussing the situation with others or seeking external advice. This isolation helps maintain the illusion and prevents the victim from realizing they are being exploited. Financial losses can be substantial, and the emotional toll of being deceived can be significant, leaving individuals feeling vulnerable and betrayed. Authorities and consumer protection agencies often warn the public about such schemes, advising caution when engaging with individuals offering services that seem too good to be true, especially when significant sums of money are requested.
