I had a reading earlier this year from a person terming themselves a 'psychic' in Nottingham. They put timings on things, etc. Nothing they predicted happened within the timings, and none of the wider reading meant anything. I emailed the person and they refunded my money. Still nothing happened that they predicted. I emailed them again politely saying that I felt that I had been quite naive being taken in by it all, and that it seemed that it was a whole area of commercial work that was going unmonitored and was not subject to regulations, despite it making a lot of money from vulnerable and naive people. I was not seeking a response from him, but on the following day he phoned me to my work number (yes, work!) and gave me loads of argy bargy down the phone and stated he was contacting my employers and the management in my work organisation to report me. I told him he had no right to phone me at work (had nothing to do with my job and had only used my personal email and only saw him on a Saturday), that his call was harassing and threatening in nature, that I was not entirely clear on what he was actually planning to report me for and that I was reporting his call to the police. I emailed the person on Bad Psychics who advised to report this to the police and monitor and keep records of any further calls, etc. I did contact the police, they contacted the psychic and left message on his phone as to the nature of why they were contacting him. I've had no more calls from him, but wondering if anyone else had been threatened or harassed by a psychic when the called their 'gift' into question. Also, are there actually any laws in the UK that keep a check on psychic businesses or how is it treated by trading standards and consumer rights? If a product bought in a shop or a service paid for fall short of what is promised and does not do what it is marketed for, then you are covered by consumer law. Does any such law apply to psychic services, and if so, how can it be applied?
