About this episode
Ever since I started Ex Boyfriend Recovery back in 2012 I’ve been having a war with the scum of the earth (not really.)
Every single day I open up my website and navigate to the comments section I’m greeted with a whole host of comments like this,
Basically it’s a spam advertisement to contact a special Nigerian/Indian spellcaster or a special “psychic” doctor.
Apparently if you contact them they will “assist you” in the most confusing of situations, like a breakup.
Oh, and the only way to contact them is through WhatsApp.
These spellcasters or psychic doctors have even started invading my YouTube channel. In fact, since I posted my latest video to my channel yesterday half of the legitimate comments that people have been invaded by spellcasters,
It’s annoying and the worst part is that I’ve literally blocked all comments that mention Whatsapp or doctors or have any phone numbers in it but YouTube doesn’t give me the ability to do that within replies and so what we get often in our videos is just hundreds of spammy spellcaster responses that I have to manually go in and delete.
So today, I’d like to talk about two things.
How the spellcaster scam actually works
Vs.
What actually works when it comes to breakups
Let’s begin!
Spellcasters And Psychics Are A Scam
I’ve always been familiar of the spellcaster scam. To the best of my knowledge here’s how it works,
Someone claiming to be a spellcaster uses a software or a bot to shotgun a sales pitch all over the web.
It’s a lot like a spiders web in that way…
They are hoping to capture an extremely desperate person who will do anything to get their ex back.
Once you are caught in their web they will keep escalating.
They’ll cast a spell, give some bogus idea of a timeframe of when it’s supposed to work
When it inevitably doesn’t work they ask for more money for another spell because the first wasn’t strong enough
Oh, or sometimes they’ll claim you have dark energy and they need to cast another spell to fix it
And around and around it goes
That’s the first type of scam. Probably the most common one I see. Notice how none of the “spell” involves bettering yourself. Instead, it involves making you feel bad about your “energy” and paying more money to fix it.
But of course, there’s a second scam. One that for some reason people seem to give a pass for
