What a fraudster, not a very clever one too. To top it all of, he has no shame.

I hope this website (and many others around the web) will warn the innocent, trusting and vulnerable bereaved against Joe Power. He clearly feels no guilt about what he is doing – lying and deceiving people in order to make money and get more fame.

Simply disgusting.

@ Jim I know what your saying there . In todays economy its hard to find a job that pays good enough to live on and is stable . I have discovered that if you just work hard and are consistent you can succeed. Look at the poster of this page , they are oviously hard working and have just been consistent over time and are now enjoying at least what would appear as somewhat of a success. I would encourage everyone to just keep hustling and moving forward.

He is claiming death threats now? utter bollocks. It is the same old bullshit victimisation tactics that he always uses when it goes tits up. If death threats have been made, that is a matter for the police (who take that sort of thing very seriously). I have no doubt there will be no prosecutions for it, because it will be another manufactured claim by Joe et al.

It’s people like Joe Power which make this type of organisation worthwhile – while cashing in on the dead is incredibly heinous, cashing in on a missing person is even more vile. It not only wastes the police’s time, but if there are some policemen/women out there who believe his drivel, it could actually result in leading an investigation away from vital evidence and witnesses. People like Joe Power should be ashamed of themselves (and I’m all for making a quick buck ;P).
MSS has always makes a difference between those who are deluded, and those who are outright liars. I personally take Mr. Power’s aggression on the Derren Brown show to be indicative of the former. He knows what he is doing, and just wants to protect his bank account. If only people would stop paying for his services! How much more evidence to the contrary do they need?!

I just got today’s edition of the Liverpool Echo, which features an article on poor, beleaguered Joe.

(http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/liverpool-life/liverpool-lifestyle/2010/06/25/psychic-joe-power-hits-back-after-claims-he-was-branded-a-fake-on-derren-brown-s-channel-4-show-100252-26721591/)

It seems Mr Power is now railing against unfair treatment by Derren Brown and the production company. Quote:

“A MERSEYSIDE psychic is considering legal action after claiming he was branded a “fake” in TV illusionist Derren Brown’s documentary.”

Maybe I’m suffering from selective memory but did Darren actually “brand” him a fake, in so many words?

Joe says of his experience when making the documentary:

“But I was made to feel uncomfortable from the start. I felt like it was an interrogation.”

Then, why didn’t he say so and discontinue it? Maybe because he actually felt it was going to get him good publicity?

Anyway, I expect Marsh will add a post on this latest development.

I’ve met lots of people who claim to be able to communicate with the dead. Some of them also have a genuine persecution complex/delusion and report their delusions to the authorities.

All were receiving inpatient treatment at psychiatric hospitals. Is this ringing anyone elses bell?

@Rob: No problem, we welcome pedants! Having re-checked my facts, I’m more than happy to make the correction as you suggested, and apologies for the confusion. M

“n December 2008, she was sentenced – along with her boyfriend – to eight years after being found guilty of kidnapping, false imprisonment and peverting the course of justice.”

It wasn’t her boyfriend who was sentenced for eight years with her for aiding in the kidnap, it was her boyfriend’s uncle. Sorry, just being a horrible pedant.

He sounds like a character from a crime novel series. Except perhaps there aren’t really any happy endings or ‘solved’ crime cases.

Being a psychic, you must of course consider that someone at the MSS may have thought ill of Mr Power, effecting the mentioned duress.
