TURKISH COFFEE READINGS - THE LATEST SCAM?

Has anyone heard of these readings or actually had one?

Someone in my area has claimed that she had one and it gave her predictions for the last 6 months that were very accurate and that everything happened as predicted.

These readings are not cheap - £60 an hour. A lot of money to waste on something bogus.

No one can guarantee that any sort of predictive readings are true, if you want to give it a go that's up to you. If you're doubtful, don't.

A fool and his/her money are soon parted.

I have a special cup and saucer which someone gave me years ago for reading tea leaves.

I only charge £50 - any takers?

This made me laugh.
When at uni, I was told by an Armenian friend's grandmother that I had the gift to read and interpret coffee grinds. Spurred on by my friend's granny, I used to frequently do this as a form of entertainment, much to the increasing intrigue of other friends.

Sometimes, my "readings" hit the mark( I have a vivid imagination).

Do tell your friend, Ramblingrose22 that it is all total rubbish!

My gran used to read the tealeaves-she did it for free. I can't remember all the things she pointed out to me, only that a circle meant a wedding and that the nearer the top of the cup the sooner it would happen. Maybe I should revise my skills and set up in business.

What utter tosh.grin

Although it can't be called a scam...you either want to pay for a reading or you don't.

People only tend to remember the bits that came true and forget the rest.
