I no longer contact anyone on Keen.com for anything as they are a completely out of control environment. Most of the people featured on their site charge upwards of 8 dollars a minute. That's almost $500 an hour. I can do a lot to help myself by spending such money on real things that do a lot to help me.
Also, Keen.com has sent me several offers through the mail, even after I canceled my account with them. In a chatroom online, I met someone who settled with them for $50,000 after they followed the advice of the frauds listed and ended up financially broke and in the hospital. This company should be held accountable for their actions because they do a great deal of damage.
Here is the list of the people who are the most offending of the frauds on their site, though there are many others:
Psychic Michael Sebastian
The Power Of Sherry
Grace Carrington
Mynusong (Susan)
Brock Kerrigan
Lady Campbell of San Francisco
Augustine Smith
Magical Sandra
Question Mark
MsDream
Soul Navigation
Johnnie Psychic Advisor
Marshall Delaware
Poperno Prophet
Tisha Celtic Garden
Victoria Sands

Out of all the predictions and discussions we had she was mostly inaccurate and a waste of time. There were a couple of things that were correct, but considering all the conversations- her accuracy should have been MUCH higher.
Never used her again.

Test the psychic
AUTHOR: Mishy - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, March 25, 2012
Sounds like a lot of them are test the psychic. Why play games like that? I've never had a problem with them. Veruksa18 is very good. As is Lady Celest and a few others.
Veruska is the one that saw something the other day. Years ago she also predicted a job that I hadn't even interviewed for. It's funny, I hadn't spoken to her in a few years. Just the other day I spoke to her and the first thing she said was the job I am now trying to get. She's the real deal.
Stop playing games with them. They know when you are testing them.

AUTHOR: Cilla - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, July 30, 2008
I would say Veruska18 is accurate but exactly as you pointed out, my only issue with her is the customers who seem to completely depend on her and call on a daily basis. As far as I'm concerned, I have called Keen in several weeks now (Yay!!!) and her predictions have come to pass. I saved some feedback for later and will probably post at the end of August which is the time frame I was given for the big bottom line.
In all honesty though, I wish I never started calling psychics. Spent way too much money to see something my friends had been repeatedly telling me. In fact, I am pretty sure if you describe your situation specifically, I could give you the bottom line as well :)
I do understand why people, including me, need the reassurance but it is not healthy at all. So if you have doubts, listen to your intuition (in my experience the most reliable one, not that of a stranger) and walk away.
Good luck and stay strong. Life is too short to spend it WAITING for something or someone.

KEEN: INSIDE INFO FROM EX KEEN SPEAKER! READ ON
AUTHOR: Inneedofanswers - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, July 28, 2008
I AM SPEAKING AS A (FORMER) KEEN PSYCHIC!
i HAVE COME ACROSS MANY TERRIBLE READERS. I WAS BORN WITH THE GIFT OF (SEEING)! I know I have had this gift all my life, but didn't become aware until I was around 8yrs old! That's was 30 yrs ago!
I am NOT currently reading, as I have a lot going on in my life and I know that my head is NOT focused enough to give readings to anyone, as that would be VERY unfair~ I do get MANY CLEAR PREMONITIONS in my DREAMS though! There ARE MANY things I am going to say here that may help some of you, and detour some of you, but I AM GOING TO BE AS HONEST AS I CAN, as I NEVER EVER WOULD SUGAR COAT A READING!
So of, (WELL MANY OF THE READERS OUT HERE ARE NOT REAL) As if this doesn't surprise you! LOL
Here are some good hints to try to help you determine if a reader is good or not!
1) See how long they have been working on KEEN! LOOK AT THEIR MEMBER STATUS!
2) Don't ONLY LOOK FOR FEED BACK THAT SAYS NICE AND CARING. I mean this is ALL WELL and GOOD, But, look for accuracy! Look for people that have WAITED to leave feedback to see if someones predictions actually have come to pass! So, for example, (IF i GET A READING ON THE 20TH OF MAY AND i LEFT 5 STARS THAT DAY, BUT LEFT NO WRITTEN FED BACK UNTIL TODAY (JUNE 28TH, AND i SAID READER WAS NICE AND PREDICTION HAPPENED ON JUNE 23RD) THEN U KNOW HE/SHE WAS IN FACT ACCURATE!!! IF I left a 5 star on the day of the reading, but today came back and said, he/she was nice but prediction(s) did not happen. Then you really should think about it!
Of course EVERYONE wants to hear what they want to hear!!! NO DOUBT! But a TRUE READER WILL TELL U THE TRUTH, EVEN IF IT MEANS THEY ARE LEFT A BAD RATING!!!
3) Now if you see someones feed back full of positive for pages and pages then see someone who has left a bad rating, (GOOGLE THEIR NAME) IN the GOOGLE BAR, enter the users keen name and then also type in KEEN.COM or something that will link the user to keen! This will help you to see what kind of feed back this person leaves for the readers they talk to!!! (remember, IF A PERSON LEAVE A READER 1 STAR AND SAYS THEY WANT A REFUND, AND U SEE THIS MANY TIMES, IT MORE THAT LIKELY MEANS (THEY ARE JUST LOOKING FOR FREE READINGS, HENCE, THEY WANT THE READER TO GIVE THEM A READING AND EVEN IF THE READING WAS GOOD AND TRUE, THE PERSON JUST DIDN'T HAVE THE MONEY TO REALLY PAY FOR IT)
4) YOU CAN ALSO DO "INTERNET SEARCHES" ABOUT READERS! don't ALWAYS LOOK AT THEIR "KEEN PAGE" FOR FEEDBACK!!! DO OTHER SEARCHES SUCH AS "INTERNET REVIEWS" FOR SUCH AND SUCH A READER. EVEN LIKE THIS RIP-OFF REPORT! PLACES LIKE THIS ARE FREE SPEECH PLACES WHERE PEOPLE CAN "TRULY VIEW THEIR OPINIONS AND NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING BLOCKED!!!
5)JUST B/C A READER IS VERYYY EXPENSIVE---THIS DOESN'T AND I REPEAT, DOESN'T MEAN THEY ARE GOOD! I KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS ACTUALLY VERY VERY VERY GOOD ON KEEN! WELL ONE NIGHT IT WAS LATE!!! SHE HAD HER ALERT ON, AND SHE SAID "I AM KINDA BUSY, SO IF PEOPLE REALLY FEEL THEY WANT AND NEED TO CALL ME THEY CAN PAY 25.00 A MIN) WELL, LOW AND BEHOLD, THEY GOT A COUPLE OF CALLS! NOW I KNOW SHE IS GOOD (SHE IS A PERSONAL FRIENDS WHO SHE AND i HAVE READ FOR EACH OTHER) BUT STILL 25.00 A MIN? I JUST DON'T AGREE! SO STAY AWAY FROM HIGH PRICES B/C U T think THIS MAKES THEM BETTER!!!
5) HERE IS SOMETHING EVERYONE MUST REALLY THINK ABOUT!!!!! I SAY THIS MEANING (ME TOO)
IF YOU TALK TO A READER ABOUT LOVE, OR SOMEONE MAKING A FAVORABLE DECISION (IN YOUR FAVOR) THINK ABOUT THIS!!! IF A READER SAYS, "YES I SEE HIM/HER - CALLING YOU, OR RECONNECTING WITH YOU/OR A DECISION GOING YOUR WAY, GREAT, MAYBE THEY REALLY DO SEE THAT! HOWEVERRRR, IF YOU ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET BACK TO YOU, BE IT A LOVE INTEREST OR WHO EVER ELSE, BUTTTTT... YOU KEEP CONTACTING AND CONTACTING AND CONTACTING THAT PERSON FOR WHAT EVER REASON, NOW WHY WOULD THEY NEED TO THINK ABOUT THINGS AND CALL YOU OR CONTACT YOU? REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE A CHILD AND YOUR PARENT OR PARENTAL FIGURE SAID, "I HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IF YOU CAN HAVE THAT CANDY BAR?" IF U KEPT ASKING AND asking, THE ANSWER WAS PROBABLY NO!!! IF YOU LET THEM THINK AND YOU WERE PATIENT, MORE THAN LIKELY YOU GOT IT! APPLY THIS CONCEPT!
6)THERE IS A THING AS FREE WILL. Now I don't think that if a reader tells you 10 things are going to happen and ALL 10 don't, they should use the FREE WILL SLOGAN! However, if, the MAJORITY of the time, a reader is ACCURATE, and then something or 2 doesn't happen, YES, MAYBE FREE WILL PLAYED A PART OF IT!!! SUCK IT UP AND MOVE ON!!! There is A HIGHER POWER OUT THERE, "GOD" "BUDAH" "MOTHER EARTH" "INDIAN SPIRITS" "ALAH" or whom ever you may chose to believe in!!! So whom ever your HIGHER POWER IS, PUT FAITH IN THEM FIRST!!! PRAY TO THEM BEFORE GETTING YOUR READING!!! Ask them to help you pick the right adviser and ALSO, SEND THE ADVISER A LITTLE NOTE FIRST ASKING THEM TO SAY A PRAYER before they give you the read!!! SERIOUSLY!!! This way you and they are both praying that the reading is coming from "THE HIGHER POWER/HIGHER SPIRITS" That's is, if you believe in a HIGHER SPIRIT! If not THAT'S COOL! I am NOT HERE TO JUDGE!!!
7) IF SOMEONE PROCLAIMS TO BE 100% OR 99.9 %, RUNNN AWAY FROM THAT LISTING, DON'T WALK I MEAN RUNNNN!!! LOL, BUT SERIOUSLY. THERE IS ONLY 1 THAT IS 100% AND IN MY CASE IT IS "GOD,JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT) AS THEY ARE 1 TO ME) SO WHOM EVER YOUR HIGHER POWER IS, THEY SHOULD BE THE ONLYYYY 100%!!!
8) IF SOMEONE SAYS- GUARANTEED TO BRING YOUR LOVER BACK AT 10.99 PER MIN... AGAIN RUNNNNNNNN, THERE ARE NOOO GUARENTEES IN LIFE AND AT THIS POINT, IF YOU ARE 18 AND USING KEEN OR ANY OTHER SITE, YOU SHOULD KNOW THIS BY NOW!!!!
9) I FEEL THAT SOMETIMES WE ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWERS AND DON'TTT WANT TO FACE REALITY SO WE LOOK FOR "PSYCHICS" TO GIVE US POSSITIVE HOPE! IF WE KNOW THE ANSWERS, DON'TTT WAISTE THE MONEY ON FAULSE HOPES! (I AM GOING TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL A PERSONAL STORY JUST TO PROVE A POINT)
I was involved with someone for 10 years of living together for 2 yrs and going back and forth w/him for8) mostly off for the 8, but a little on again too) Many people told me, walk away and let him miss you! Especially a good friend of mine who has researched "MANY RELATIONSHIP issues"!!! Well of course I called MANY MANY MANY READERS OVER TIME!!! Out of Desperation!!! She still tells me the same thing!!! Well, recently I was GIVEN the NAME OF 3 readers that are VERY HIGHLY recommended BY SOMEONE ON KEEN!!! SHE IS EXCELENT, BUT SHE can't read for me, (NOT B/C OF HER READING ABILITIES, SHE IS GOOD) (BUT THERE ARE OTHER ISSUES SHE AND I HAVE HAD AND WE NEED A COOL DOWN TIME) SO, I TRUST HER AND TOOK HER ADVICE) ALL 3 OF THE PEOPLE GAVE ME THE EXACT TIME FRAMES AND THEY ALL TOLD ME WHAT MY FRIEND HAS BEEN TELLING ME FOR YEARS!!!!
I AM FINALLY DOING THIS. NOW, IF THEY ARE ALL RIGHT, I SHOULD HAVE JUST PAID MY FRIEND 100.00 YEARS AGO AND TOOK HER ADVICE, TRUST ME 100.00 IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT I HAVE PAID!!! I KNOW MY FRIEND WOULDN'T HAVE TAKEN IT EITHER LOL. BUT, IF YOU WANT TRUTH, LOOK WITHIN YOUR SELF,AND TO A GOOD TRUSTED FRIEND OR 2 NOT A MILLION PSYCHICS!!!
10) BE CAUTIOUS BE CAREFUL AND FIND ONLY 1 TO 3 READERS AT TOPS THAT YOU TRUST!!! THATS IT!!!
NOW, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ANY OF YOU OUT THERE! 1 OF THE 3 NAMES GIVEN TO ME (OF THE EXCELLENT READERS) IS PANDORAP! I HAVE INFACT TRIED TO DO INTERENT SEARCHES ABOUT HERE. HER FEEDBACK IS GOOD!! VERY GOOD! BUT I CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING OTHER THAN FEED BACK ON HER PAGE. I DID READ WITH HER. I GEVE HER A 5 STAR, BUT I AM WAITING TO GIVE WRITTEN FEEDBACK. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT HER????
I WILL BE LEAVING HER WRITTEN FEED BACK ON THE 5 OF AUGUST RE: READING AROUND THE 10 OF JUNE. PLEASE LOOK FOR IT. I WILL NOT SAY MY USER NAME, BUT JUST LOOK FOR FEED BACK.
BUT IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT HER, PLEASEEE RESPOND HER AND LET ME KNOW. I AM IN NOOOO WAY AFFILIATED WITH HER OR ANYYYY KEEN PSYCHIC!
HERE ARE JUST SOME HELPFUL HINTS I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS ALONG WITHOUT BASHING ANYONE OR RECCOMMENDING ANYONE!!!
GL TO YOU - AND REMEMBER U WORK HARD FOR YOUR MONEY, DON'T GO INTO DEBT OVER A SITTUATION YOU PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW THE OUTCOME TO!!!

Has anyone else had experiences with her good or bad?
i read some of her feedback and notice some of her clients call her everyday. I read back over some of them for a couple of months and Ive noticed one client who's waiting for her bf to return, but the dates she's being told seem to be changing and it really sounds like since she started reading with Veruska he's met someone else and is growing more distant but she's being reassured that he's still coming back even though the months predicted are passing.
I really don't want to buy into false hope myself, so would really appreciate some more feedback aside from the Keen feedback (which people tend to leave when they'd a good experience and not when it's bad).
Thanks

Veruska18 and Lady Celest, yes they are real psychics.
AUTHOR: Pisces73 - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Monday, June 23, 2008
Now getting to the good part: Many of Veruska18' predictions have come to pass for me, especially when she says, "I see it. I know it's going to happen." Even if the time frame is a little off it eventually happens as she sees it. She told me in September of 2007 that my ex-boyfriend would come back in the Spring of 2008 and she said March specifically. Well, he came back late February, but I saw him for the first time in March after not having seen nor heard from him in 6 months. Now I would say that is pretty amazing!!! She has also made other short-term predictions which did occur, and also gave me some information about my ex that I found out later to be true.
Lady Celest made a few distant predictions that did happen. She, too, told me that my ex would come back and explained how he felt. I recommended her to a friend of mine and her predictions have also come to pass regarding her relationship. She also found out some information about her boyfriend that was confirmed by her boyfriend.

People who post here defending the psychics they allegedly read with, are full of crap. They all are one of two things: the mentioned psychic herself, or her close friend. Don't listen to these gypsy scammers, move on. Spells aren't real, curses aren't real, spirits aren't real and last but not least, Santa isn't real.

KEEN - Veruska18
AUTHOR: Marta - (Canada)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, January 05, 2008
Veruska18 she is quite "accurate": predictions happened re: work place
1)A coworker that she described in details left in the time frame given.
2) described my manager and event that happened after that
Also, a friend of mine got new job - she went into details like - described her correctly, said that she has to do something with education, but changing professions-true again.
However, regarding my ex (at the end, 90% call for love, correct?)she did gave time frames to see him-doesn't happened yet....Although she did described him correctly, and saw that he is not in the same country as I am...So, I dont know what to say honestly.
I called LadyRhiannon - as Alex said-pending prediction, we'll see.
Has anyone had any experience with her?
in any case it is true that you can get carried and call Keen , got to be careful - I have to admit I spen ~$2000/2007 year, but got more careful now. Money just fly, I don't think I was aware that I spent that much.
So if anyone has any experience with LADYRHIANNON or VERUSKA, please post.
Thanks

AUTHOR: Janet - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, April 03, 2007
I have had several detailed and FUN readings with Grace Carrington. enough readings to know if she'd ask for credit card info or money, besides, her homepage even says: "Please note:I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE to the notion of spells or curses! There is NO such thing!! I DON'T DO HOCUS POCUS !! NO SPELLS OR CURSES NONSENSE OFFERED HERE!!"
I had copied/pasted that quote right from her homepage to put in this rebuttal. You can even see for yourselves if you visit here.
It is often very hard to listen to the truth. She is blunt, but she's quick in her readings, certainly not one to give false hope! Her visions have helped me many times and I'll continue to call her when I want the straight scoop and genuine solutions with no false hopes. As for Marie? I suggest she seek out some serious therapy!

Janet
