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 themselves trapped by door-to-door telephone canvassing or a verbal contract for fixed-price clairvoyance imposed, by specialists, not in clairvoyance, but in mental manipulation and fraud. Because in the vast majority, certain telephone clairvoyance platforms, which are growing like mushrooms, are nothing other than unscrupulous drug dealers, and a large number of their ‘‘so-called advisors or clairvoyance experts’ have neither the skills nor the knowledge necessary to inform, enlighten, guide consumers in a situation of uneasiness…
Clairvoyance by telephone has therefore become a lucrative deception, an enormous fraud with its share of manipulation, threats and intimidation, a scam organized on a large scale and on which the public authority must react. Due to the absence of real confrontation between clients and practitioners, the exorbitant prices and the commercial and psychological pressure applied to clients, clairvoyance by telephone is in fact the safest and easiest current way to scam clients in extremely fragile situations. No need for heavy investments: a telephone, a website or a small advertisement, a lot of chatter and not an ounce of scruple. Easy, armed with these few bad principles, to attack the hundreds of thousands of people who are isolated, sick or simply and legitimately worried about their future or that of theirs.
There are tens of telephone clairvoyance scams every day, ranging from a few hundred to several tens of thousands of euros. INAD receives dozens of requests for help every year from people who are often desperate, sometimes on the verge of suicide.
To this end, the INAD has just alerted the office of Mr. Frédéric Lefèbvre, Secretary of State to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industry, in charge of Commerce, Crafts, Small and Medium Enterprises, Tourism, Services, Liberal Professions and Consumption, so that measures can be taken to establish a minimum of control and surveillance of arts activities divinatory, to protect consumers against all the abuses that result from it.
It is clear that this profession is useful because it replaces to a certain extent and in many cases the role of the psychologist or the simple confidant in an increasingly closed and individualistic world.
This is why in this pre-electoral period, the INAD hopes that a political figure attentive and sensitive to the problems of consumers of the divinatory arts will finally take the initiative of creating a legal framework around the profession left to its own devices for decades.
