Hi, this is Patty Davis. I'm a psychic intuitive and medium coming to you from Humboldt County in

Northern California. And I'm Judea, a psychic intuitive energy healer coming to you from the island of

Kauai of the Hawaiian Island chain. This is Spirit Speakers podcast, where we meet to discuss a

variety of topics from two different psychic vantage points. Welcome, everybody, to our new episode.

We are going to be discussing all things astrology with a special guest. But before we get into that,

I just have a few things

that I need to tell everybody. For those of you who have been following my Instagram, Align,

Kauai. You may have noticed that I have had to make some posts and send out an email blast

about an Instagram impersonator. And this impersonator has been reaching out to my followers through

direct messaging, saying that they're picking up energy from their profile and asking them if they

want a reading. And if you end up participating in that reading, you'll get a second message

that says that you have a curse or some other kind of dark debaulical

energy on you and that you need to pay more money to get rid of it. And it is sad to say that

people have been roped in by this scam. And no matter how many times I've reported it to

Instagram and no matter how many times my followers have reported it,

Instagram has not been diligent about getting them off. It has come to my awareness that this is a

common scam that is happening in the healing arts community. This is happening with psychics,

with therapists, with artists, with all kinds of people who are trying to solicit services and products through Instagram direct messaging.

So please be mindful and aware that that is happening, if not with me, with anybody who is reaching out to you through direct messages. I think most people

who have a reputable business will not be utilizing that platform in that way in order to

hunt for clients or customers. You know, I think the most disheartening thing for me on a personal

level about it is that I would never, ever, ever tell somebody that they had something wrong with them and then require more payment on top of my normal fee to help you work through it.
