Social media has become a platform where people often share their experiences of interaction with different brands. A woman did just that and claimed that Astrotalk, a company that provides online astrology predictions, is scamming its users. She expressed that she asked one question about her marriage and the astrologer on the other side got it wrong. When she confronted the person, they disconnected their online chat.

“I gave into the hype and installed astrotalk. Got 10 mins free chat after signing up. Asked him at which age I'll get married. He said after 3 years. I replied with: ‘but I am already married’. He ended the chat and now I can’t use my remaining free 5 mins,” the woman wrote. In her reply to an X user who said that astrology works, she responded, “I am sure you are right but the ones in astrotalk are scamming people.”
