Script Pages from Miss Cleo Telephone Call

[Questioninggeller]

Anyone remember Miss Cleo and the psychic phone scam? Well, Court TV got its hands on a Miss Cleo 5 page script. Its viewable here and allows you to listen to the audio of the "psychic" as you read along.

Some excerpts, remember this is $4.99 a minute:

"This card can indicate a loss of possessions or work, maybe health problems, or a loss of a good friendship."

"This card warns of trickery, dishonesty and betrayal, even false friendships."

"Good things are on the horizon."

An August 1, 2001 report uncovered that the phone operators were told:

"Don't forget you are getting a 25 cent bonus for the complete name and address along with a 10 cent bonus for the e-mail address. Very, very important. Remember we do want an 80 percent name and address capture. Very important because we use that in our mailings to get that out right away and we get more people to call us back."
