When I say "fortune tellers" I just mean those who offer their psychic services for a fee.
From time to time we hear about a fortune teller swindling someone. Usually, the impression is that the culprit is just a con artist without psychic abilities. And no doubt that may generally be the case. But what about persons who actually have psychic abilities; mightn't they be crooks too?
My understanding is that when interacting with a fortune teller, you give them access to you, the touch of your hand, a personal item, some specific information, etc. So, my worry/question is that couldn't that access give the fortune teller the means to exploit the client? Wouldn't it be like revealing a password, or like giving access to one's medical info? In other words, fine as long as the person who receives the special access is ethical and doesn't do anything bad, but dangerous otherwise?
A simple example could be if the fortune teller discerned that you would be coming into money in the not distant future. An unscrupulous psychic might see this as an opportunity to milk you out of some extra cash.
What you think? Crazy concern or no?
