Quote From: grandmaellenI have no knowledge if Dr. Phil or Robin charge for tickets, and/or live appearances, or not.
However for someone to say "Sorry no sympathy here" shows very little compassion to me. I am positive that the people that did actually "fall for this" were desperate and seeking help! Reaching out for help. The people that seek out Mediums like John Edwards .... searching for something/anything in an attempt to help them through rough times of losing a loved one would do almost anything they could think of and they DO pay for tickets to see him at a live event.
I guess it all depends upon what you would do to try to find some peace of mind in that what you are seeking. Me pay to see/hear or speak to Dr. Phil, Robin, or John Edwards? No. I would not do that, but I would never underestimate anyone that has done so, (or "fell for this"), or what they would do to try to ease their pain.
Don't critize until you have walked in someone elses shoes.
I have no idea if a session with Dr. Phil costs. I do know that when he came to Edmonton, it was for the wealthy, not ordinary people on ordinary salaries so why wouldn't it cost if you wanted a private session and how would I know that he doesn't offer private sessions? I'm not saying I would have fallen for it if they had called me but I'm not at a desperate time in my life.
What I want to know (and forgive me if it's answered here, there are a lot of replies to read) how did these scammers get these peoples' phone numbers? How did they know to target Dr Phil fans?
