I did so today and I was very satisfied to see that Raven Franks has raised her $8.99 per minute rate to $11.20 per minute. As much as I am sure she will justify that by her "expertise" and satisfied clients being willing to pay that rate for her "readings", I am entitled to dispute that. The very fact that she recently authorized a full refund to a dissatisfied client told me that she is feeling the impact of the truth about her claims coming to light.
Clearly, to make up for her loss of business she has had to raise her rate to make up the difference. She makes a lot of money off of the innocence of her victims. If you review her ratings you will see the same usernames over and over again. She has changed her picture several times in the recent past as well as editing her profile. I can only think that she has raised her rate as she is feeling the impact of a decreased client following. If I am wrong, so be it. I just cannot think of any other explanation as she insists in her profile that she gives reduced rates to returning customers. She attempts to project empathy to her clients and wants them to believe that it is more important that she "help" them than make money off of them.
From my experience nothing could be further from the truth. She would be ready, willing and eager to have given me a "reading" as many times per day or week that I wanted. She never advised me to "wait a bit" or "see if her prediction came through" before she would eagerly off to "take a look". Nothing was more supportive of this information as when I questioned her she defended herself by telling me of her financial woes and how she was "one step away from homeless", "had no child support", "was a Breast Cancer survivor" and desperately "needed her Kasamba income".
She obviously has raised her rate to bring in the difference in her income now that the truth about her has surfaced.It disappoints me to see that people are still falling victim to the site and it's "Experts" when there are countless reports from people warning the general public of their experiences.
Although the reports on this site are unreliable since so many of them are from "Experts" and former/current clients with their own agenda - there is still enough credible evidence that seeking a "reading" from and "Expert" on Kasamba is the same thing as betting hundreds of dollars on a game of chance in a Casino. I know I've done my part to bring the truth to the light and unfortunately that was stifled by the inappropriate goals of a person who presented themself as a disgruntled client (when no one will ever know just exactly who he or she is or what he or she was attempting to accomplish).
The bottom line is that I and so many others ceased giving our money to these scam artists and they are feeling the financial "crunch" of that. If Raven Franks had over 4,000 satisfied customers at $8.99 per minute....why "rock the boat" and increase her rate over $2.00 more? Let's see what happens and how that effects her "reviews". All I KNOW is when I was paying her on a regular basis she was an empathetic and "concerned" "friend"....as soon as I began to question her she became adversarial, accusatory and in a word - nasty.
Although she did apologize on this site to me, she did refuse to address my request for a refund (obviously because my money was GONE). My satisfaction was in her authorizing a refund to a client and changing her profile and removing her unsubstantiated claims of "100% accuracy" and changing her title to "Fortune Teller". WHY someone would pay $11.20 per minute for the input of a "Fortune Teller" is beyond me.
Everyone is responsible for their decisions. Just as I took responsibility for mine. That did not exclude me from attempting to bring the truth to the light as well as pursuing a refund. Hopefully, someday Kasamba.com will fade away and these "Experts" will be forced to work at Carnivals or Bridal Showers. Let's all continue to do our part!!

My thoughts...
AUTHOR: Joanne H - (Australia)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, August 07, 2011
POSTED: Sunday, August 07, 2011I have been coming to these 'forums' I guess for quite some time now... and I especially wanted to find out about 3 psychics that I visit on Liveperson..
I noticed immediately that Raven Franks name has come up quite often so I thought I should share my experience - albeit very quickly..
I have been to Raven a few times now... some things she got wrong... but on the most important and pressing issues... she was right. The most recent reading I had with her was about 5-6 days ago.. and she was very accurate.
For the record - I dont believe any psychic can give you 100% truth in their readings as they do not see/fee/hear 100% of what is happening around you. Like I said.. my thoughts only.
3 psychics I stand by - as being more accurate than any other on Liveperson are (followed by what I believe they're really good at):
Raven Franks - Great at seeing the bigger picture... she gives thorough details... she also tells you what you don't necessarily want to hear... Still - in my opinion only - she has been close to around 80% accurate with me and my circumstances...
SuNNNNi - She pinpoints details like no other. Very straight forward. A yes is a yes and a no is a no. I like reading with her when I need absolute truth. So far I have had 2 readings with her and she has been spot on.
Psychic Yazmin - Not so sure about her upcoming predictions - but I can tell you she is great with reading people immediate emotions and telling you where they are at in their mindset.. This has been great for me because of issues I am having with a loved one - and after having had 5 or so readings with her (she asks for just names only) I found her to to be very accurate.
Happy to let anyone contact me to verify who I am or whatever: rumurrie2@iprimus.com.au
About me: Country loving Aussie lady... and I don't hand out 5 stars to psychics who don't deserve it. Trust me on that. I work hard for every cent I spend on these ladies.
Thanks for your time!

POSTED: Sunday, August 29, 2010As much as I wasn't surprised 4 years later to check this Rip Off Report site to find people still posting the same ridiculous accusations and statements - I sure did make me sad. I was hoping that this report would have been effective in decreasing the amount of people who throw there money away on the Kasamba/Live Person site. I took responsibility for my stupidity in allowing my emotional state to effect my intelligence and good judgement - but, I still feel (and always will) that the "Experts" on that site are so unethical and money hungry they feed the customers what they need to hear to manipulate them into coming back over and over again. The ratings/reviews are still fraudulent and the whole site is a scam. Not to say there aren't thousand of scams on the internet - what I am saying is it would be so much better if there was a way to warn the innocent and emotionally distraught who fall to the prey of the "Experts" on the site. It was so easy for me to fall for the BS I was given. These people are professional scam artists and are extremely proficient at what they do. It really doesn't bother me that this is the way they make their income and is probably one of very few options for them - but, there should be some sort of internal mechanism or some kind of monitoring by some ethical agency or something to stop the insanity that goes on at this site. I see the rates are still between $5.00 and $12.00 a minute. How outrageous. The whole thing makes me sick. To know nothing has changed in 4 years is just sad.
Whoever reads this - please do not disregard the indisputable fact that Raven Franks is not a Psychic. She is an extraordinarily gifted manipulator. If you can't control the urge to have a reading with her make it short. Keep your time with her very short and you will see that everything she predicts for you or advises you will become repititive and will never come to fruition. Do not fall for her kindness, empathy and concern. Do not fall for the way she baits you with timeframes and check back with me in designated timeframes. She is the most proficient manipulator.
If you don't feel I am credible and feel I am just a dissatisfied customer - please take this into consideration - it is now 4 years later since I paid Raven Franks thousands of dollars and to this day not one of her predictions have come to be. It is very easy to fall to her prey. Learn from my mistake and huge financial loss. The only "Experts" I consulted with on the site that have any credibility and were correct in any way were Elizabeth who is the real deal and Nicola. I would recommend consulting with them without hesitation and they will not allow you to waste your money. The keep advising you to keep your readings short and to not come back often. That alone is worth whatever the cost. What a shame that this insanity is still going on.
Shame on you Raven Franks and Larkeden. Eventually Karma will catch up with you and for that you have my empathy.

POSTED: Tuesday, January 29, 2008I too had a few reads from Raven - however she was wrong and I just didnt go back. You seem to have had many more readings from her - and I am sure that hurt the pocketbook!
There is always an energy that builds around a situation even if you can't see it, and this resonance against the unfairness of false reads has built up silently and I do believe business will continue to suffer on that site.
