To no longer be trapped As a general rule, and particularly in matters of canvassing by telephone, the consumer is now entitled to a withdrawal period of 14 days. This information must be communicated by the website on which a clairvoyance act is offered. The website must also inform the consumer of the exact identity of the company with which he is concluding a contract through canvassing. Failing this, the consumer can go to a civil court to request reimbursement of the sums he has paid, and he could also file a criminal complaint for misleading and…

By judgment of March 18, 2014, the company Clap 2000 (Jellissa Voyance) was dismissed all its claims and ordered to pay costs by the Tribunal de Grande Instance of Toulouse. Indeed, on October 23, 2011, the INAD published the testimony of Sylvie, a disgruntled clairvoyant, entitled: ‘‘Coup de Gueule d’une Voyante’’, recounting her unfortunate experiences and misadventures in certain clairvoyance offices, including that of Jellissa. http://inad.info/blog/presse-ecrite/384-coup-de-gueule-d-une-voyante In this case, INAD was assisted by Maître Sandrine…

At the very beginning of December 2013, I came across an Allokang clairvoyance advertisement by chance and I decided to call to see what it could give. I was depressed and in a state of unhappiness emotionally and romantically. Jessica M…’s profile caught my attention as did the comments from her customers. So I called her for the first time and she amazed me with her “predictions”. So I renewed my call for another consultation and there she made me believe that we had a friendly bond and that she would attend my future wedding. (We became friends on…

The company Ecovoyance, called into question by a dissatisfied customer, sent us the text below, supposed to be a right of reply, specifying: “…it’s up to you to use it as you wish.” …We saw on your site at this address: http://inad.info/blog/temoignages/520-ecovoyance-ou-echo-scam a comment about our company and or one of our collaborators Posted by Laurence on February 24, 2014 No moderation seems to be carried out on your site, We respect freedom of expression, but these remarks go beyond simple expression, This person details a procedure that is not…

In the interest of the vast majority of consumers but also in that of conscientious practitioners who suffer the damaging consequences of certain enlightened people, charlatans and other commercial sellers of chimeras, the INAD has just launched an appeal to Mr. François Hollande, President of the Republic for strict regulation of the profession of divinatory arts. To read the press release, click on the following link:…

Lexa M …I knew this ‘‘clairvoyant’‘ through TV, loudly claiming to be able to contact and communicate with the deceased. As she seemed gifted to me, I contacted her via a social network for a telephone appointment, for the sum of 70 euros. Which represents a lot of money for me, because I’m not rolling in gold. Indeed, I felt the need to take stock of my family, emotional and professional life; I am a very fragile person, I admit that.  Lexa M. asked me for photos of all the people involved… First of all, she began to give me a rough ‘‘light…

REMINDER: We recommend to all consumers that they should never communicate their bank details to a platform, an audiotel site or to any other clairvoyance professional by telephone, before having first obtained all the information* on: the conditions, duration and cost of a clairvoyance consultation, the name of the practitioner and the precise address where they practice. Otherwise, you risk being the victim of a scam and finding yourself having to pay a prohibitive sum for dubious clairvoyance, which is only in name. You should also know that behind…

“Today, October 15, 2013, in a case opposing several civil parties to a natural person accused of the crime of clairvoyance fraud, the Court of Appeal of Aix en Provence confirmed the terms of a judgment of the Tribunal de Grande Instance of Grasse of November 13, 2012 and once again considered the INAD’s constitution as a civil party admissible.  The defendant was thus ordered to pay a symbolic sum to INAD. This judgment of the Aix en Provence Court of Appeal of October 15, 2013 represents a real victory for the INAD which is still officially…

The proliferation of self-proclaimed professionals represents a real danger for unwary customers. Indeed, before consulting a clairvoyance practitioner…, you should ensure their competence and knowledge in the field in which they claim to specialize. We expressly recommend that all customers who consume the divinatory arts read the rules laid down in the Moral and Professional Charter http://inad.info/documents/charte_de_deontologie, before calling on a practitioner: clairvoyant, astrologer, numerologist, tarot reader, etc. Adherence to the Moral and…

Given the blind relentlessness of the manager* of the Zoravoyance.com site, INAD has just filed a complaint against them for identity theft, fraud, false advertising, conditional threats and blackmail. INAD does not act with any malice towards anyone. Its objective is to moralize the profession, give a noble and credible image to practitioners of qualified, rigorous divinatory arts, who have rules and values, respecting both their clients and their activity. But also to warn consumers about the increase in pernicious and reprehensible practices of a…

An indelicate person who calls himself ZORA, requests that payments by transfer be made in the name of Laetitia BROUSORAMA*…92659 Boulogne-Billancourt Cedex. This pseudo-clairvoyant, usurps the name of INAD, claiming to be recommended by the National Institute of Divinatory Arts, to offer criminal services of illusory clairvoyance and imaginary protection to particularly vulnerable consumers. Above all, do not respond, it is a scam well organized by professionals specialized in mental manipulation and fraud. If you too receive or have already received…

INAD: a quality label, based on transparency and clarity, evolving towards a loyal, dignified and supportive activity.   Today, clairvoyance via audiotels has become an activity in its own right. On all sides, some of these ‘‘organs’’ are criticized for taking advantage of the ignorance and lack of knowledge of ‘‘users’’ of clairvoyance to enrich themselves unduly. Indeed, the number of complaints from customers who feel duped by illusory consultations is increasing every month. We have been regularly denouncing, and for a long time, these questionable…

I contacted the Cosmospace company for 3 years following an advertisement published in a magazine. I was depressed because my partner had left me for someone else. I started to consult Octave ‘‘medium’’ who automatically assigned me a package at 900 euros and then a second at 1300 euros, telling me that his prices had increased… I left him to end up with Leila who was much worse. As I was Alone, without family, Leila reassured me, put me at ease with a soft voice, comforting words, I could call her every time I needed it. I felt the need. I believed…

The profession of divinatory arts has become a profession of businessmen ‘‘without any qualms’’. Certain audiotel firms and services have detestable behavior and practices, enlisting the collaboration of “blind clairvoyants and myopic experts”*, enlightened spiritualists, individuals specialized in mental manipulation, who have a single goal: that of robbing the customer who is often in disarray, feeling bad about themselves, looking for a little comfort, a friendly voice, an outstretched hand… Today, the INAD association, whether we like it or not, is…

I leave you this testimony to denounce the charlatans who are rampant on audiotel services and in particular, as far as I am concerned, a man named Octave who operates on the audiotel Cosmospace site. Last year my partner left me, imagine my pain, my dismay… I needed advice, a helping hand, help, advice… So I called COSMOSPACE, a site specializing in clairvoyance by telephone. I was put in contact with this famous Octave, after listening to me, he told me that day, and during the various consultations that followed, that my companion was “the man of my…

On October 25, 2011 and the following days, based on countless testimonies recounting the more than doubtful practices of the WENGO company in terms of clairvoyance, the INAD published on its website and on its Facebook page several articles entitled: “WENGO: Scam expert’’?, Professional secrecy “Violated” … Seized of an emergency request by the self-proclaimed company “N°1 of the council of experts” (?), the President of the Paris Commercial Court ordered the INAD to delete the said articles, without even having to ask it to justify its assertions.…

Clairvoyance by telephone The four “clairvoyants” prosecuted for organized gang fraud have just been sentenced by the Grasse Criminal Court: 3 years in prison for the person responsible*, 1 of which was suspended, and his accomplices received 1 to 3 years of suspended sentence… In this trial and in the interest of responsible consumers and professionals, the INAD association became a civil party and obtained 1 euro in damages. EX company Orion, the names of the defendants have been deliberately omitted

The articles entitled: “Wengo n°1 of the expert scam?”, and “Professional secrecy violated” which were removed from the site pending the decision of the summary proceedings initiated by the INAD on February 23, 2012, against the company Wengo have been put back online. Indeed by Interim Order of April 25, 2012, Mr. President of the Paris Commercial Court, ruling by contradictory order at first instance, pronounced the retraction of the order of December 27, 2011 issued upon request of the same day from SAS WENGO -Orders SAS Wengo to pay €1,000 under…

If fraudulent debits are noted, it is in the bank card user’s interest to object as quickly as possible.   How to object? The bank card user must call their bank or the telephone number indicated by their bank for oppositions or the interbank telephone number reserved for oppositions (these numbers operate 24/7).. During this call, a registration number must be given to the user in order to have a dated trace of their opposition request, which may be useful in the event of a dispute. Then,  the user must confirm their request by registered letter with…

There are moments when the despair and despondency are such that we struggle to find the right words to try to express them. You have to know how to take it upon yourself to bring back to reality what is ugliest in it, and which you would prefer to hide or ignore, out of simple, primal cowardice. When cases of scams taking place on certain audiotel clairvoyance platforms are brought to our attention, most of the time, our blood boils, disgusted as we are in the face of the insatiable greed that certain clairvoyants who are only in name know how to…

Remote clairvoyance and audiotel (Reminder!!) We recommend to all consumers that they should never communicate their bank details to an audiotel firm or any other clairvoyance professional by telephone, before having first obtained all the information* on: the conditions, duration and cost of a clairvoyance consultation, the name of the practitioner and the precise address where they practice. Otherwise, you risk being the victim of a scam and finding yourself having to pay a prohibitive sum for dubious clairvoyance, which is only in name. You should…

This is what one of the questions finally addressed in the National Assembly on February 21, 2012 could inspire us. MP Christine Marin has in fact drawn the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industry, responsible for commerce, crafts, small and medium-sized businesses, tourism, services, liberal professions and consumption, to the problem of the lack of regulation regarding the practice of divinatory arts in France. We cannot in fact remember enough that this activity, due to the little supervision it provides to the French consumer,…

Today I received a clairvoyance offer from Oscarvoyance. I was supposedly drawn at random and selected for an “almost free” five-minute clairvoyance for €5. As I asked myself a lot of questions and felt fragile, I accepted this proposal….   I had the clairvoyant Cyrielle online for the consultation offered at €5. At the end of 5 minutes, I said to this ‘‘clairvoyant’’: “Madam, it is 1:19 p.m., the five minutes have passed but, strangely, this clairvoyant replied to me: ‘it doesn’t matter’ and she continued speaking. Naively, I thought that I had come…

I hope that this testimony can be of use to other people who are in the same situation as me and who will recognize themselves. …Madame JB telephoned my husband making defamatory remarks about me…that I had a lover and quoting him. Moreover, she dared to brazenly tell him that I was sleeping with all my clients…. All this is of course completely false but who cares; the most serious thing is that she also called one of them to impress me and scare me and above all to discredit me. I am outraged by such behavior and the actions of this person who claims…

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…
