"An average call costs more than $60, Beales said, noting that nearly 6 million people have called the service (at $4.99 per minute). A telephone bill running into the hundreds of dollars is the first sign for many callers that they are being charged."

WOW, and people think that dialers are bad, he he he.

Basically the same info as the link that Slick posted. I just love the last paragraph in this one.


Slick,

You were absolutely right about the Harem Scarem. I was confusing him with the singer for Slick Toxic.

WOW, that's amazing about how they'd have automated callbacks, that's fucking bad. Snow should rig up a dialer to do that, ha ha ha.

I'm glad that you figured out who's who, he he he. Wow, that's still cool if you see the lead singer of Slik Toxic. I have their "Doin The Nasty" cd. They're pretty good. If you ever have any questions on late 80's hard/glam metal, ask me. I have 1000+ cds, most of them are from that era.

Radio personality, Mancow called her hotline on the sir once. What a fucking scam! He ended up having tyo call likke 4 or 5 different numbers before he actually talked to a human, then he didn't even get his free minutes and kept askin' the poerator where his free minutes were. Course, she couldn't answer him...it was actually pretty funny. He's syndicated nation wide so I was hoping a lotta people heard it....

Wizzo 02-15-2002 10:47 AM

The question is, did she see it coming....:eek2

theWatsonian 02-15-2002 10:59 AM

Miss Cleo pays her "phone psychics" 10 to 20 cents per hour (it's a graduated scale based on billing time). My wife was psychic for about a month. ;)

miss cleo is a sexy bitch :thumbsup

funkmaster 02-15-2002 01:28 PM

... yes, that daily spam mail was pretty annoying ... but hey, 6.000.000 callers averaging $60 per call ... i guess the FTC will drop that case within 6 month, and tomorrow we all will get introduced to miss patty ... hahahahahaha !!!

eroswebmaster 02-15-2002 01:35 PM

Local news here ran some "sister station" undercover stuff out of Florida about a week ago.

According to Miss Cleo she only made something like $60 K last year and does not even own the rights to her image.

Apparently this was proven to be true because of all of the cases that were dropped against her specifically but continued to go after the company that does own the rights to her image and likeness.

I think it's all pure hogwash...the bitch probably has an offshore account with a couple of million hidden back for retirement.

Any of you want SinTalk psychic lines? We only bill $3.99 per minute... LOL LOL

Brad :rainfro

s9ann0 02-15-2002 03:14 PM

$60 is a small fee to pay for such infinite psychic visdom

SykkBoy 02-15-2002 03:56 PM

The person you see on TV isn't Miss Cleo, hence the reason why she has no rights to the image.

Machine 02-15-2002 06:35 PM

She was quoted as saying "I knew it all along!"

The person on t.v. is Miss Cleo she also goes by about 4 other names according to the undercover piece I watched and a few are variations on the Cleo theme.

She's a con...and she got conned by someone smarter...that's all.

Beales said the service promises a free psychic reading, but when consumers call a toll-free number they are directed to a 1-900 number charging $4.99 per minute.

An average call costs more than $60, Beales said, noting that nearly 6 million people have called the service. A telephone bill running into the hundreds of dollars is the first sign for many callers that they are being charged.
Damn, that's about $36M of free phone calls. Redirecting to a 900 number. I think she created the first dialer.

You'd have thought that if she was so fucking psychic, she should have seen this coming !!!:winkwink:

Altima 02-15-2002 10:51 PM

Somebody should make a dialer that tells your future too

boneprone 02-16-2002 11:09 PM
