FRAUDSTERS are asking people to pay them in return for insights into their futures.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said psychic and clairvoyant scams begin when a fraudster approaches someone and tells them something wonderful or terrible will happen in their lives.

They will then promise to provide a full report after money is exchanged.

The criminals may claim to give victims winning lottery numbers or remove a curse.

The crooks tend to charge for administration fees, GMP said.

If you are a victim of this type of fraud, contact Action Fraud on 0300 123 2040.
