Time-stamped, written proof is pretty hard for an idea-stealer to argue against. They may try to deny it, but\u00a0you&#8217;ve covered your bases and you can now catch them in their lie.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Psychic Devyn ext. 5303\" href=\"http:\/\/www.californiapsychics.com\/psychics\/Devyn-5303.aspx?utm_source=blog-articles&amp;utm_medium=blog-articles&amp;utm_campaign=cta-psychic-devyn-ext-5303\"><em><strong>Is someone taking credit for your work?
