INAD: Numerous cases of illusory maraboutage scams have come to our attention, the sums extorted range from 1000 to 500,000 euros, convictions are regularly handed down by the courts and numerous complaints are under investigation or pending before the courts. Only appropriate regulations, control and monitoring of clairvoyance and maraboutage activities are likely to protect the consumer from the fraudulent actions of tarot and maraboutage thugs.

He said horrible things to me
“…I was in a difficult period and in the stress of failing my exams, I turned to clairvoyance and in particular to a so-called Marabout: Cheikh ABOUBACAR. I realized late that I was dealing with a manipulator, liar, scammer! I just wanted to know what was going to happen to me…, he was attentive, kind, helpful, he took the opportunity to ask me for a personal item like a t-shirt and a small amount of money. Until then everything was okay, then his behavior suddenly changed. He started writing to me at night, blackmailing me and telling me that I was going to suffer lots of bad things if I didn’t listen to him. He told me that if I gave a certain amount, in the form of a deposit to be recovered, he would help me. Always threatening and blackmailing me, I was totally under his influence. When I talked about reporting him to the police he went “crazy” and said a lot of horrible things to me. I wanted to put an end to this vile blackmail… so I pulled myself together and told myself no! That he should give me my money back. To avoid talking about my reimbursement, he became practically unreachable… From time to time, he came back and demanded another €5,900 from me to recover my deposit of €10,000. As I refused, he thought he was entitled, threatening me and demanding that I send him this sum in cash. Before he agreed to be paid by transfers. I have his email address, 2 phone numbers and 3-4 bank accounts but I don’t know anything else about him.. This marabout tried to scare me, he talked to me about white magic, black magic. That “the bad luck” that I experienced on a daily basis was because of that… The more I said no to paying this deposit, the more he increased the amount.” I’m ashamed, I’m at the end of my strength…
