This was on a news programme in Australia, and they tested 10 different people saying they were psychic or 'gifted', and then the head guy for physics society in Australia said that if they are truly gifted they are not allowed to ask for money? Is this true? Or are they a scam? What do you believe?

The 'true' ones with the gift won't take money for it nor do they advertise or want it to be known that they can.  If they charge money, go the other way.

Yes you are correct about the unknown Indian bit!! I haven't heard about either him or the experiment, and I haven't found any one else that has, but I think my 'teleportation' gear is playing up a bit, I'll get it re-tuned and try again later!! I thought teleportation was a means of transferring physical matter almost instantly? Not brain waves!!\nAre you sure your brain waves haven't been transfered??

and you just have to pay them like 30 bucks for some kind of claiming fee right?  that's a load of crap. if u never entered that lottery to begin with, how can you win it?   also if they are asking for money, that's an obvious way to tell its a fake.

This is the truth..  there are no psychics  it is all a scam. people want to believe and so they do.  there has been no evidence to prove such a thing as a psychic.  don't be fooled. there is a guy that has offered one million dollars to anyone that can scientifically prove any of this.... sorry no takers yet... it is all a scam don't be fooled. ok    I know what i am talking about....

It's a scam.  Pay no attention to it.\nIf you didn't enter a contest or buy a lottery ticket, how do you expect to win it?

Money and need are the keys. Each school is designed to cater to the kids with majority need in that area. If you're the only "smart" kid in your class then why would they create a "gifted" program just for you? \n\nIn cases such as yours, they usually allow the "gifted" kids to take classes in high-schools, or you could get tutored. You have options.\n\nAnd just as an advice for later in life, be humble about stating how "smart" you are and about how you're the "smartest."

I can't discount the possibility of there being real live psychics out there somewhere, but I do know that anyone who is trying to sell you their powers, like the amazing Miss Cleo, is a fake, phony charlatan. Be skeptical, Demand proof.

Most so-called Psychics are nothing more then con artists who know how to listen or do research, Rosemary, so you shouldn't believe them. You'd think in 26 years of life you'd know there are con artists everywhere. Make yourself a dish of Mango Ice Cream and think about it.\n\nAnd no, I'm not psychic or a con artist. I just used a few of their tricks on you. I looked at a few of your answers. Simple research to learn a few things about you. If I had been trying to con you I could have looked at more then just a few answers that looked promising and probibly learned more personal details but I have no reason to dig deep.\n\nIf there really is anyone out there with the gift, they've never proven it to me. I've always figured out their con before the bite for money happens.

yup!I can relate to some of these experiences. I have times where I know the outcome of the situation before it occurs.It is a good gift to have. I can sense people's energies very often and sometimes I get drained from their energy as well. Be open to this gift. In fact, I myself am thinking about developing my intuition a little bit more. There are some things in this world that are supernatural and I believe in them a lot. I believe that we were all born with this gift and it can be developed over time if we are open to it. In religion with all due respect Jesus had psychic abilities. Yes, psychic experiences are real. I have experienced it very often. And no, I have no psychological problems what-so-ever. I am a music major and live happily and enjoying life and a straight A student. It just so happen that it's in my genes. I come from a happy home. :O) I am Catholic on top of that. If they are real psychics they won't charge $1,000, they will charge less and they will not be demanding.

I know you don't want to hear cold reading but, please go to this link and read.\n\nhttp://www.quackwatch.org/01QuackeryRelatedTopics/psychic2.html

yes I have and she gave me a very good reading too Frenchi.  I have asked for good psychic sites but I always get the ever expensive never can get to her Sylvia Brown.  Or worst those keen sites where you pay per minute and still have no real answers.  Anyhow I just saw the other answers and wanted all you other searchers to know she was good to me at least.  But that's just an individual not prone to generalizations like I see some of you are.

oh yes please .. thank you for this question\n\ni am a spiritualist medium .. that means i speak with spirit\n\ni do not speak with demons ... i do not predict the future .... i am not a witch ... i do not do cold readings or read faces ( since most of my readings are online and even offline have to provide evidence that can be validated ) ...i believe in God and only work with the best intentions ... and no one that i have given a reading to has turned from God , infact it has brought them closer to God\n\nthat is just some of the myths that i would like cleared up xxx\n\noh one last one .... people always tell me to prove it to James Randi for a million dollars .... my mediumship is worth no amount of money , just to be slandered by a skeptic xx

Yes I have.  At the end of last July.  She told me that I would be offered a job in 8 days but I wouldn't take it.  I wasn't, but I was offered a job on Aug 8th (a transfer at work) but it wasn't the right job for me so I didn't take it.  She told me I would go on a weekend trip in the fall.  I didn't, but we did go in February.  She told me I would have 2 children, and get pregnant in 2007.  She told me I would live a long life and retire early.  I can't say it's all BS or that it was accurate.  Only time will tell.  I will say that my mom and her friend both had very accurate readings done when they were younger.  Her friend was told she would marry a bald headed male and that the number 2 is significant.  She did and his last name was pronounced like the number 2.  I believe most psychics are fake and doing it for the money, but I do believe there are authentic ones out there and that it is possible to predict the future... however only the most likely future... the future I believe is in our hands to mold and shape the way we want to.  Without any interference or attempt to change the future, psychic readings can come true.

no its a scam give it to the authorities so that they can try to catch these people.\n\nJust think about one thing, if you win something you usually don't have to pay to get it.

Saw something of interest on TV yeasterday that could work with a school if adapted. Parents could be asked to give each of their children £5 or so. They take the £5 and look to make as much money as possible with it over a two week period (as long as it is not illegal or anything and possibly to be approved by a teacher) - eg - buy a bucket and sponge and offer to wash the cars down their street for a small fee etc etc. Kids could club their £5s together if they wish. At the end of it they can give the £5 back to their parents or put it into the final pot of money to go to the school. Possibly offer a prize for the children who make the most money. Could really engage the children and the parents in the cause?\nHope this might be of help.

Yes. It scams your ego. There are Who's Who scams for every thing that people do almost. The ones you won't find are Who's Who Homeless or Who's Who Living Simply. In other words, if you do something that makes money for somebody, they want to sell you a book and a certificate to pump money out of your ego.
