The cash money order scam

…I had to deal with a psychic about a year ago who took €600 from me for nothing. It is Hakim Bourhain the radio seer… I went to his office which was at the time in the Barbès district. When I arrived at his office, without knowing why, without knowing the purpose of my consultation, he asked me to place a 50 euro note on a book which he presented to me open, he closed it and put it aside. Then he begins his consultation, takes notes, does calculations, then he tells me: You have a blockage! I can help you for €1,600. So I give him €600 so he can start work, he asks me to call him back that same evening.

I must point out that his consultation did not last 10 minutes and cost me €650. So I returned home to Normandy and called him back the same evening as he asked me: “you have to send me the rest of the missing money for my work,” he told me, “because your case, contrary to what I thought, is complicated, you have to act quickly. » He gives me his contact details so that I can preferably send him a cash order by post. Surprised by so much haste, I explain to him that I do not have this sum at my disposal immediately and that I would need more time,…he becomes very unpleasant and hangs up on me.

Since then, I have never managed to get it online, I lost my money unnecessarily, without obtaining the slightest explanation or the slightest result. I see that he took advantage of my naivety and vulnerability at a very difficult time in my life. I wanted to understand a little more and my curiosity pushed me to do some research on the internet and there I discovered other testimonies from people who were also victims of this character.

I also read that your association helps the victims, so I would like to know if I should file a complaint against him or against the radio station which promotes him, what can I do to get my money back and especially for him to stop this ‘‘carnage’‘….

I also hope that my testimony will serve as a lesson to him so that he realizes that he has no right to take advantage of the weakness of all these people in distress who call on him and that he plucks, shamelessly, like pigeons.
