I was included in this website WITHOUT my permission or my prior knowledge. I became aware of it after a phone call from a colleague who had also been added to this site without his prior knowledge. Using someone's branding or working name without permission, is ILLEGAL and often used as a tactic used by a scam artist to draw attention to their own product by deceitful means.
My established brand (And others) have been added to this website to DRAW OUR TRADE to this site, so the site owner gets web traffic to the site. The site owner, is conveniently added to the TOP of the POPULAR list which comes up whenever anyone's name is used in the search engine. It appears to be a case of the bee keeper crying at the loss of the stolen honey supply.
Recently, I sent a kind and courteous e-mail to the site owner requesting I have my listing taken down.

Hi Lesley,
Can you remove my profile from the listing, I haven't had anything from
it since it's been up there, but I have a busy year or 3 ahead of me
with other projects anyway.
Thanks,
Thanks,
Here are the responses to my e-mail:

Hi Matthew,
Sorry
to hear that your listing, that you put zero effort into creating or
supporting, has not worked out for you -- who would have thought! And
even though it costs you nothing to remain on the site, and your
participation might support other up and coming psychics, or offer
comfort or insights for the public, you want to take your bat-n-ball and
chuff off.... again, how surprising!
You
know mate... I started FYP just over three years ago, because I wanted
to learn how to program software and needed a mental challenge. The
whole things cost me a total of $27 for the basic software program in
its raw form. The U.S. based server gives me three websites for the
price of one, and I already have my own site, so FYPs hosting doesn’t
really cost me anything either. I also felt guided to offer a
non-biased, non-politically aligned directory to help the general public
find genuine psychics because my experience has been that people who
are awakening spiritually tend to go for a reading first to open their
minds. From there, they go in search of spiritual meaning, and perhaps
learn meditation and study ancient scripture, etc. Therefore, that first
step, even with an abysmal, inaccurate and pathetic psychic is a vital
and ultimately productive first step. That is why I included all and any
working psychic on the listing, using information already in the public
domain, and therefore perfectly legal for me to use on the site.
And boy, you’d think I’d been murdering babies in their cots!
I
was certainly on a huge learning curve to discover how psychotic the
psychics can be... beginning with your lil buddy Greg and his side kick
She Guavara demountable. Although initially I have to admit that I was
surprised at the level of vitriol coupled with abject stupidity that
they revealed for all to see on FaceBook (I have all the screen shots... and they are still amusing reading!),
I began to see, very clearly that my guidance was correct and that I
didn’t need to test or inspect any psychic for accuracy because they
would “out” themselves with their own pathetic, stupid and psychotic
behaviour!! And boy, did they and then some!
So
the first year, or so, I received a wave of emails from indignant
non-psychic-psychics who claimed not to know they had been included,
despite being sent an email. (my favourite comment was that because the
email went into the Junk box, spirit had guided it there! Yep.. true
story!).. of course some of them are semi-literate! Others, such as Ms
Not-too-bright Demountable made up pathetic stories such as me stealing
email addresses or contact info. None of them allowed the facts get in
the way of a good hysterical rant based on their own insecurities,
neuroses and bi-polar propensities!
Three years later, no one has been able to offer any evidence that I ever took a contact .. but hey, psychics can’t be wrong can they?
All
of that hysteria has pretty much died down as the savvy psychics are
realizing that I offer a very inexpensive PR vehicle to help them get
their message and their name out there. The savvy ones splash out with
an enormous sum of $60 per year for a featured listing and offer
articles, blogs and insights for the eZine. They join in on the facebook
page and make sure the messages go round and round... They know,
because they have common sense, that when someone does a Google search,
the more times, and the more sites a person’s name appears, the more credibility they have... well duh!
As
for the rest -- they don’t muddy the waters with sanity and logic!
Instead, they get neurotic and worry just in case someone sees another
psychic on FYP and contact them instead!!! Heaven forfend! And then, if
the savvy psychics get more votes and hits on their listings.. because
they are working at it... they’ll spit the dummy and say it is all
beneath them because they are already famous! Or already making heaps of
money.... In other words, revealing in full technicolour their real
motivations for offering psychic readings... It is all quite priceless
and so amusing to watch these psychics out themselves and reveal their
dark inner core! ... and see themselves as above it all... it’s a laugh a
minute!
I
checked out your listing, and indeed no one has done a search for your
name, although they have searched your geographic location. They may
well have found you and then contacted you, but not mentioned where they
found the information, that is quite common. But don’t you worry...
your listing has been deleted, after all, you are already famous are you
not? You clearly make enough money to pay for your medication for your
illness? Your motives are clear, and I do indeed understand.
Find Your Psychic / International Psychics Directory
is slowly but surely becoming a psychic directory for heart-based
psychics, who are (on the whole!) sane and savvy. The psychotic and
downright untalented psychics whose only motive is fame or fortune are
slowly removing themselves which only boosts the good name and
reputation of those who remain.
Happy trails bucko!

Hi Matthew... who is "we" are there two of you? Or do you speak on behalf of unnamed others ... ??? Sorry if straight talk is considered abuse by you but clearly you are confirming everything I said .. all fodder for my upcoming blogs and books on the joys of creating a free listing psychic directory... have a great life sweetie!!

Oh by the by. I have removed your free listing from FYP and I can absolutely assure you that it will not be uploaded again.
Thank you so much
And who is the site owner of Find Your Psychic / International Psychics Directory??
