Did Jenna, Your Astrologer contact you ? Can Jenna, Your Astrologer help you turn your life around or "come into money"? People desperate to improve their lives will often turn to bizarre methods. While there are many religions and beliefs in the world, one thing is constant, scammers seek to exploit the beliefs, desperation and naïveté of gullible people everywhere. While it is often difficult to prove that an astrologer or psychic is a scam artist, because they are usually careful to speak in vague generalities and not make specific claims or promises, it is safe to say that ANY psychic or astrologer who contacts you IS a scammer. Their motive is money; your money. Sooner or later, that becomes apparent with all scammers.
Another so-called astrologer and psychic, Jenna Your Astrologer (from aboutastro.com) is complained about on many websites and forums. The Better Business Bureau has no complaints about her yet, but several forums, such as RipOff Report list many complaints.
Typical comments on RipOff Reportt are:
"These guys are bad news. They are aggressive marketers for a personalized astrology report that is boiler plate and Boring! AND Wrong. My sun sign information came back incorrect. Unbelievable - this chick is just plain stupid."
"I too was duped after almost 2 months of Jenna sending me emails, I finally gave in. I told her that I had been unemployed for 18 months and couldn't afford the $60 fee that she wanted."
"...once you get onto her site, you can decide to chat with her. I decide to see what she was all about. The chat operator is very pushy about getting you to sign up for the 'in-depth' reading."
Our conclusion: we suggest that ALL astrologers are scammers, as the basis is commercial, not science, nor rational logic, nor anything reasonable. There is no credible documented pattern of success and it's practitioners prey on people in need. (See this dissertation). We would suggest that no competent authority, be they from a background in science or religion, will advise you to take the advice of an astrologer. And while 1 in 3 Americans are said to believe in astrology; we will bluntly tell you 2 in 3 Americans are overweight, so an appeal to those popularity is hardly convincing.
If they're so good; let's see them predict something accurately,
and not so vague and general, that your dog could have made the prediction! In
1964, James Randi launched
the One million dollar challenge. Randi would give 1 million
dollars to anyone who could prove to have occult powers. To date, no one has
ever even passed the preliminary tests.
The French version of the One million dollar challenge was called
Défi zététique international. Anyone who can prove occult powers would win
200,000 Euros. Since there was no financial risk and huge prize money can be
awarded, astrologers would be expected to rush to these contests. Yet in the
French version, there were only 250 tests and none won.
So now that we have told you not to believe in astrology, how can you get your money back? Contact your credit card company. Tell them what happened and that you'd like to do a 'charge back' on it. They will then begin an investigation on it, as well as initiate getting your funds back.
You can also file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau; they will negotiate on your behalf.
