I felt like I was going mad
“….I would like to bring my testimony here and make a cry from the heart! Following a difficult breakup with my partner in the summer of 2018, after 11 years of living together, I completely lost my mind, I gradually fell into a state of extreme fragility.
So my nightmare began the day I came across the “IdéalVoyance” platform. Everything happened extremely quickly: I registered on the Ideal Clairvoyance site in November 2018, with at first 2 or 3 calls per day, then, very quickly, the predictions not coming true, I consulted more and more and without limit. A real descent into hell has begun… I called and called back at all hours of the day and night, I hid from my colleagues at work to spend hours on the phone. I have contacted over 300 different psychics on this platform. Some days, I could make more than 30 calls for sums of up to €1000 or even €1500. Why these frantic calls? Because the predictions did not come true, which worried me, so I needed explanations and reassurance! Emotionally tormented, psychologically weakened, in complete disarray, I hoped, I believed in all the predictions made to me by the “seers” (?) of this platform. Which led me into a spiral of uncontrolled spending… I felt like I was going mad because the predictions weren’t coming true. I was reduced to borrowing payment cards from friends and colleagues because my own cards were blocked. I even used money from the sale of real estate inherited from my family, the only memento I had left of my deceased parents, to be able to pay for “consultations” on the site.
In February, mentally and physically exhausted, overwhelmed by persistent headaches which prevented me from sleeping, my condition justified a work stoppage. My family, my friends, my colleagues saw me isolate myself and slowly waste away, no longer knowing what to do… Even afraid that I would do the irreparable. My distress increased day by day… Like the amount of “consultations”, which reached the staggering sum of more than €60,000 in 6 months, from November 2018 to the end of April 2019. No manager, no practitioner of this platform (except a psychic), warned me, informed me about the uselessness of all these compulsive “consultations” or advised me to space out my “consultations”, quite simply. In fact, I was a cash cow, a godsend, a pear for these people – even though I was above all in a state of extreme fragility, and I would never have been “had” like this in my normal state. The worst part is that this platform maintained and encouraged my frenzied consumption even though it had the possibility of deleting my account or sending me an alert by email… She did nothing, quite the contrary: while she was perfectly aware of the abnormal nature of my consumption – dozens of calls during the day, calls at night, astronomical sums spent in a very short time… –, because I don’t see how she could ignore it, she made me “VIP” at the beginning of January 2019, which only aggravated my distress… And increase their profit: because, to all appearances, the profit of these people is proportional to the fragility of the individuals, so they had every interest in maintaining and increasing it. That is to say, they had every interest in creating in me a real addiction to clairvoyance or pseudo clairvoyance. Today, I come to think that their business model boils down to profiting from human distress. In April, having exhausted my savings, I had to take out a loan and ask for a reserve of money. I had a very difficult, horrible time. Fortunately those around me took me in hand, which led me to therapeutic treatment I am now being followed by a psychologist specializing in post-traumatic stress, because it is a real trauma that I suffered. Fortunately, I contacted INAD which gave me real support and I informed IdealVoyance. Immediately, this platform closed my account. What can we say about this type of practice, which harms a large number of people, often tormented, even on the verge of despair? We can push people to death like this. So I decided not to stop there and I will go all the way… Beyond my personal case, it is an entire system that I am ready to denounce, a system which is based on the exploitation of human distress by unscrupulous people. Today, I call on your testimonies and your support!..”
