I was also scammed by the notorious Toby although I only lost $200,-.
I am quite psychic myself - if anyone did anything to me, especially a treatment like the one proposed by Toby, it would not go unnoticed.
However, in both session I felt ZILCH. Needles to mention, now, 6 month later, my DNA is as unactivated as it ever was.
Toby also never sent me a follow-up report.
It is fortunate for him that he resides in a country that does not prosecute scammers like him.

ps: I do not support “professional sceptics”
people who are close minded “know alls” are a bigger curse to the situation today than all the Tobys of earth together.

If you’re psychic, then how didn’t you know it was a scam?

It’s because he’s psychic that he only lost $200

Now I’m getting depressed about the human race again.

this remark is so stupid, may I asume you are a skeptic?

you have never seen anything of what modern physics talks, yet you “believe” it to be true - the word says it all doesn’t it?
do you believe in god? no - you believe in science -

however, my words are wasted on the likes of you - my post solely is intended to warn of yet another scammer in the field of the paranormal.
there are financial scammers, political scammers, marriage scammers, your pic - 
Toby is a paranormal scammer. do all politicians scam? I dont hope so (but we cant be sure), are all marriage proposals fake? I wouldnt hope so.

We believe modern physics to be true because modern physics WORKS.  Psychic powers DO NOT WORK.  This computer you’re using is a product of modern physics.  Until such time as you can create something even 1/100 as concrete and real using your psychic powers we’ll continue to dismiss them as a fantasy.  All the wishful thinking in the world won’t make your delusion any more real.

Samvado, please be polite.
That was an awfully sharp answer (plus a jump to conclusions) in response to a light-hearted comment.

I don’t know Charybdis, I kinow physics work but I don’t know the psychic powers do not work.
I’ve never seen anything that proves to me that they do exist but that doesn’t mean they don’t.

I’ve never seen anything that proves to me that blue fairies live inside my nose, but that doesn’t mean they don’t.

The simple fact of the matter is that until you have proof of something there’s no reason to believe it. If someone wants us to believe that psychic powers are real then it becomes their responsibility to prove it. Not ours to disprove it.

And, to answer another point in this thread. No, I do not “believe” in science. I know science works because I can test it.

If there’s something that has neither any evidence for nor against it, and no simple way to provide any such evidence, then I just put that idea aside until anything new comes up about it.  I’ll keep my eyes and ears open, but that’s about it.  Why twist your mind into knots trying to puzzle out something when there’s nothing actually there yet to puzzle over?

Absolustely. I totally agree.  *E-handshake*

Acci, Is it that obvious I have no mind to twist over?  I thought I was disguising that fact much better.
