A fortune teller is a liar _ a fortune teller's scam.

Fortune-telling is regarded as a method to predict the future and interpret fate in some cultures and traditions, but it has not been scientifically confirmed, so it is controversial. Some people think that fortune telling is just a means to cheat money, because fortune tellers may use their knowledge or skills to persuade people to pay for information or predictions about themselves.

Although some fortune tellers may be liars, it cannot be generalized that all fortune tellers cheat money. Some people may really believe in their predictions and skills, or they may think that they can provide some psychological comfort and guidance. In addition, some people may seek fortune-telling service because it conforms to their culture and tradition, or because they provide a way of entertainment.

In short, whether fortune telling is cheating depends on personal opinions and beliefs.
