Scammers posing as popular psychics target social media users

ABC  

Celebrity psychic Cael O'Donnell has built an extraordinary audience on social media with claims he can channel spirits and forecast the future. "I've counted 50 fake accounts across social media that are pretending to be me," Mr O'Donnell said. "Scammers are increasingly opportunistic, often connecting with victims through social media platforms," a Scamwatch spokeswoman said. "People would think that the sceptics would say all psychics are scammers," Mr Saunders said. "I hope someone who is a scammer sees this hopefully something in them is like, OK, maybe I'm really hurting people a lot more than their bank account," she said.
