Who are these therapists?
These therapists are usually individuals who have a history of criminal activity or have a desire to make easy money.

These therapists often steal credit cards by convincing their clients to give them their credit card information. They may claim that they need it for billing purposes or to hold on file in case of an emergency. Once they have the credit card information, they can make unauthorized purchases and rack up charges on the client’s account.
How to avoid falling victim to these scams
One of the best ways to avoid falling victim to these scams is to do your research before choosing a therapist. Make sure to read reviews and check their credentials. If a therapist claims to have psychic abilities, be wary, as this is often a red flag. Also, never give your credit card information to a therapist unless it is absolutely necessary.
What to do if you suspect your therapist has stolen your credit card
If you suspect that your therapist has stolen your credit card, the first thing you should do is contact your credit card company and report the unauthorized charges. You should also report the therapist to your state’s licensing board and file a police report. It is important to take action to protect yourself and prevent others from falling victim to the same scam.
