In order to warn people, I want to testify about an abuse of weakness and an attempted extortion of which I was the victim. Indeed, about five months ago, I met an apparently charming man, a doctor of law, originally from Mayotte. Despite my mistrust, I gave in to this man, who was gracious, kind, enterprising and who assured me that he was free and without a shadow of a doubt, separated, because he had been cuckolded. During our meeting, he told me that I was the victim of a woman’s bad luck over a period of 32 years, this meant that everything I…

Impeccable ethics?  More than 200 psychics and astrologers with impeccable ethics welcome you for an immediate and confidential consultation. They will sincerely answer all your questions (love, finances, work, etc.). First call satisfied or refunded. Just one click, and the “astro” section of the Wengo platform welcomes you with enthusiasm and optimism. A very promising catchphrase, which immediately builds confidence!  Experts with “impeccable ethics”? This would make the mouths of even the most recalcitrant customers water! But, exactly, how do we…

I’m in a deep depression and can’t sleep While leafing through the local newspaper…, I came across an advertisement praising the capabilities of an “A…” magnetizer which promised a quick solution. Indeed, for several months, I had been suffering horribly from headaches and neck pain. Medicine could not help me. Furthermore, living alone, with financial difficulties, I had had a work accident and did not really know what my professional future would be… I thought this gentleman would be able to relieve my pain and tell me what would happen in my work.…

The articles entitled: “Wengo n°1 in scam experts”, “Wengo scam expert?” and “Professional secrecy violated” have been temporarily removed from the site pending the decision of the summary proceedings undertaken by the INAD which will take place at the end of January 2012, against the company Wengo. Said articles were removed, following the formal notice given to us by the host, in order to prevent the site from being made unavailable. Indeed, the Wengo company, whose practices the INAD highlighted, convinced of the weakness of its arguments, did not…

Just as a trap requires bait to be operational, the clairvoyance scammer would be nothing without loyal stooges moving willingly in their shadow. These “human baits” are most often not even aware that they are there.  These people are even convinced that they are acting in their own name when they immoderately praise a particular clairvoyant, or fiercely defend a questionable position. The word “free will” also comes up quite strangely in their comments, as if they had to tirelessly justify their behavior. I will understand the reader’s objection that…

…. I had the opportunity to work in firms, and on another platform. Working within firms requires certain constraints: obligation to ensure audiotel presence hours and presence hours on weekends and evenings. Their commission rates are at least those offered by Wengo, and often much higher, therefore their margins are much greater. The rates applied to customers can be exorbitant: €15 for the first 10 minutes and up to €7.5 per additional minute… Working on a platform such as Wengo leaves the independent worker that I am, free of my hours of presence,…

I am keen on small-scale sociological experiments. I like to observe the functioning of certain microcosms, what are their workings, their challenges, their flaws. And I would like to point out that the experience I undertook was not sponsored by INAD in any way. This is why I have held and will hold firmly to maintaining anonymity, wishing to protect myself from intimidation from the Wengo company or its experts which INAD has obviously already had to face. I am, to introduce myself in a few words, a lucid, free, curious woman, and above all concerned…

Wengo, the well-known platform for advice from “experts” of all kinds, doesn’t care about laws, doesn’t care about customers, doesn’t care about the experts themselves. Having been a clairvoyant for many years, despite a certain reluctance until now for clairvoyance platforms, I ended up letting myself be seduced by Wengo, having a significant French consultancy, the choice of a platform located in French territory with a storefront seemed judicious to me, which moreover belonged largely to Vivendi Universal gives an impression of seriousness. On…

Today, thanks to ultra-sophisticated communication tools accessible to all, it is becoming easy to circulate information via media that are just as visible to a large number of people as they escape any control as to their reliability, and we cannot deny the fact that clairvoyance by correspondence or online represents a real danger. Just ask those around you and ask who, one day, has not felt like a potential victim of a medium working remotely? Many people have had this sad experience. Indeed, their fragility, sometimes even disbelief, pushed them to…

Selma 40 years old, Marseille: For 5 years I helped and “took under my wing” a person suffering from HIV and in a precarious situation. This person claiming to have a gift of mediumship has, over all these years, literally destroyed my confidence and my financial means. I was more concerned with him, with his administrative affairs (various procedures with landlords to obtain housing, etc.), than with my own family. Psychologically fragile, I believed I would find in this person the support and sincere friendship that would lead me towards greater…

Following the posting of the article, entitled: Professional Secret “violated”, we deplore that numerous defamatory messages* have been published on our site by a heterogeneous coalition of clairvoyants and pseudo clairvoyants; their intentions were fundamentally dishonest (?). For some of them, it was a matter of smearing or casting doubt (!?) on a consumer who had a relevant opinion, after a substantiated investigation… On the occasion of this ‘‘affair’’ it seemed useful to us to recall some recommendations specified in an article of the Moral and…

I never used clairvoyance and clairvoyants before being confronted with ‘‘experts’’ from the Wengo company. My story is simple, a banal story if we compare it to the stories of dramatic news items. It all started in the second quarter of 2009, when I was experiencing a confused and uncertain romantic relationship. A little lost, while surfing the net, I discovered the Wengo site, where I saw the notion of an expert in the same way as doctors, lawyers, etc., given confidence by this advertising, I then launched, with complete confidence, into a first…

Clairvoyance by telephone, canvassing and ‘‘imposed consultations’’   The victims of this organized mismanagement number in the hundreds or even thousands. The majority of these are individuals in a situation of moral distress, fragile consumers who are too easy to defraud since the profession of divinatory arts evolves without the slightest legal framework and in an anarchic manner. These consumers who live more and more in doubt and uncertainty, who can sometimes be too gullible or too trusting, in any case poorly informed and often manipulated, see…

Following the publication of the article by Bertrand CAILAC, entitled: Wengo: ‘‘Expert in Scam?’’ The counsel of this company has just sent us, on behalf of its client, a formal notice for the purpose of removing, under penalty of legal proceedings, the article in question or making access to it impossible, which, according to it, is of an insulting and defamatory nature. The content of the said article is consistent with the truth and INAD is not in the habit of acting maliciously towards anyone and even less of publishing false information. We recall…

I am coming back to ask for your help for the 3rd time… for a dispute with the clairvoyance firm “Cosmospace”; To this day, I still receive reminder letters for amounts owed to which I am not concerned (invoice attached). Their collection service contacted me to request payment of 1,335 euros for having consulted 3 psychics in their office. I would like to point out that the consultations were paid by credit card with immediate debit. I am attaching an invoice for €900 claimed unnecessarily because the package that was offered to me for subsequent…

By pointing out that the real marabouts are in Africa, Mr. SISSAOUI, according to an anonymous Internet user, is committing racial discrimination…. This is a real trial of intent. It’s scandalous. So what is a “marabout”, in the full sense of the term, a marabout is a Muslim religious who, through rigorous ascetic practices, achieves holiness. A responsible, trustworthy marabout, respecting both his client and ‘‘his profession’’ must in no case take advantage of the lack of knowledge and ignorance of his consultants who are quite fragile and…

I come to bring you my testimony, from the other side of clairvoyance. I am one of the professionals in the divinatory arts. The goal is to wake up my former “colleagues” but also to support the warnings of INAD and certain professionals who lead the debates. After practicing for several years in my personal practice in the city, I was struck by medical problems which forced me to close. But the charges and the insurance of the liberal professions would be well below what we can expect given what it costs. I had heard about the practices over the phone…

The perverse effects of illusory clairvoyance I am addressing you, so that the serious shortcomings of Mrs. Sabine T’s clairvoyance …, clairvoyant practicing by telephone and by a system on her site RADIO SABINE, from which she sends her audio clairvoyances by email, or notifies us so that we can listen to her audio clairvoyance on her site. I contacted this clairvoyant several times during 2010 and 2011, with complete confidence to have the answer to my questions, at least I hoped so. I am a civil servant and the victim of real harassment at work…The…

We recommend that all consumers avoid calling the following telephone number: 0899 650 241 code 10101, announcement published on the site “Au fémina.com” for which responsibility remains engaged. Indeed, it is a real scam whose tout is none other than a woman named Gordana who claims to be the president of INAD. The ad was deleted because the deception was immediately denounced by vigilant users of the said site. We thank them on behalf of consumers and on behalf of INAD members. It is these practices, these deceptive, detestable advertisements and the…

To the anonymous Internet user who claims that INAD is useless…your remark is very far from reality. We would like to remind you that for 23 years we have not stopped intervening, in vain, with the public authorities to somewhat regulate the practice of the divinatory arts. But the absence of control and surveillance is not an obstacle for the INAD which regularly intervenes on behalf of consumers who are victims of the fraudulent actions and questionable practices of certain unscrupulous firms and practitioners. Is it necessary to publish everything?…

. as I told you this morning on the phone, I am harassed every day by clairvoyance firms that I do not know, some claim to be part of the INAD. This morning, I was contacted by oscar ferro  www.seraffin.com his telephone number is 0899234630 and I am contacted by the number 0182714390. I am starting to get tired of these calls, what can I do to stop these calls? Mrs C.

…after a divorce and being placed on disability for depression in 2001, I met a woman in 2005. At the end of 2006, I subscribed to the Internet and discovered the Astrocenter clairvoyance sites on which I requested some personalized astrology computer reports?!!!! : “Ask us for the future, clear, precise answers.” These reports were vague and could correspond to any situation and everyone. So I started consulting psychics and astrologers on the site by telephone. The first telephone consultation was free and for my registration on the site I had to…

We remind you that clairvoyance practiced by certain audiotel services is a real fool’s market. It is a flourishing business which brings in big profits for specialized companies, by employing dubious practitioners with uncertain skills, when they are not professional usurpers-manipulators recycled into an activity left to its own devices, and this playing on the ignorance, lack of knowledge and distress of a large number of their peers. Consumers are regularly relieved of their savings and even threatened with prosecution to prevent them from rebuffing…

….I am taking the liberty of writing to you because I am truly desperate and at the end of my rope. Let me summarize my story for you: I lived for 4 years with a man aged 65 like me. Following an argument in March 2010, he placed an ad in a local newspaper and left with the first woman he met. He has been with her for 16 months now. This separation was painful for me, at that time I was feeling bad, I was feeling bad about myself. To take stock of my life, try to know a little more about my future, perhaps I was looking - unconsciously - for a little…

I would like to contact you following a dispute I have with the Cosmospace clairvoyance firm. I started consulting this office last March, in fact I had previously called an Audiotel and the indicator I had online fooled me, making me believe that he would have more details in a private consultation. He thus provided me with a switchboard number to call, in this case that of Cosmospace…, At that time, I was going through a dark period in my life, a sentimental affair was ruining my existence, making me sick and making me suffer, I was not doing well and…

I present myself to you in a completely frank manner. My first name and last name appear in my email address: this will make it easy for you to identify me. I want to address you in the simplest destitution, like a person who is relying on his last hope and who has nothing left to lose or hide. I am going through, with other consultants, a completely unacceptable situation with the clairvoyant named above: Marie Laure (…) parapsychologist, currently officiating on the Wengo platform. This person violates the most basic rights presented in the INAD…

Article L132-6 of the Monetary and Financial Code (inserted by Law nº 2001-1062 of November 15, 2001 art. 38 Official Journal of November 16, 2001) The legal period during which the holder of a payment or withdrawal card has the possibility of filing a complaint is set at seventy days from the date of the contested transaction. It may be contractually extended, without being able to exceed one hundred and twenty days from the contested operation. All you need to do is notify the issuing establishment in writing of your dispute. The latter must then…

After 29 years of living together, my wife, without any explanation, left with our daughter.  I found myself alone with my pain, in complete distress, physically and morally defeated. People who I thought were friends went to “absent subscribers”, impossible to contact them for information or a comforting word… They even changed their phone number to avoid me.  There was only one hope left for me to see my wife and daughter again: to call on the marabout Tamini. So I made an appointment with my “savior”, his son was waiting for me at the metro exit. I…

On March 26, 2010, I found an advertisement in my mailbox from a marabout: Mr. SAN… …. So I made an appointment with him for a clairvoyance consultation relating to an emotional problem with my African friend… Indeed, I thought that another African, and a marabout to boot, could help me or at least enlighten me. Mr. San… immediately offered me occult work for an emotional rapprochement with my friend, for the sum of €17,078, guaranteeing me a quick result. I must say that the initial consultation was modest €30, which encouraged me to go see him but…
