It's a Mitzva to not listen to those who utter prophesies in the name of idols.
One may not listen to them, engage them in dialogue or ask them for a sign or proof.
Even if they do a miraculous sign, one may not believe them, and anybody who suspects that they are true prophets has transgressed this Mitzva.
Applies to everybody, everywhere, always.
Pasuk: "Do not listen to that prophet" (Devorim 13:4)
