My adult daughter, for 10 months, called the V-WEB clairvoyance site for private consultations, almost every day and several times a day. The price of the consultations, 20,000 Swiss francs (14,000 €), were debited directly via her credit card, the number of which she had communicated. I must tell you that my daughter was in the middle of depression, severe depression… I would like to ask you if the psychics on this site, to whom my daughter called, are required to provide information to any person who calls on them, in accordance with your charter.…

I am contacting you after several months of hesitation and on the advice of people who know you through your site. Today I would like to share my story with you: “I have had a clairvoyance firm since March 2007, “firm V…” With a serious reputation with a loyal clientele and few magazine advertisements because we have until now retained our clients thanks to our work and their positive feedback, a lot of free gestures towards clients with little financial means. In November 2007, I received an application from a 58-year-old medium with 40 years of…

Hélène, who was relieved of €87,000, has just filed a complaint against the clairvoyance firm CEV and its managers for criminal conspiracy and organized gang clairvoyance fraud.

How a clairvoyant made a fortune by destroying a young woman’s life. Throughout our lives, we all experience ups and downs. Sometimes the lows are so low that it feels like you’re hitting rock bottom. At this point, it is almost impossible to find the energy to return to the surface on your own. So we turn to a parent, a friend, a psychologist. Some of us call on a psychic. Because we think that this person already knows our history, because we need to be reassured about a future that seems very uncertain. Some clairvoyants provide real help to the…

Light on souls and hearts. No offense to the embittered, love holds such a large place in our lives that it is one of the first requests that we make, in anxiety, during an astrological consultation. But, in our star chart, can we really detect the affinities that we will have with the encounters that mark our sentimental life? Jean Versot, astrologer, puts an end to some old and stubborn beliefs, and puts the star reader in his true place. The word “astrology” often appears as a magic word like “Open Sesame” and should allow us, in advance, to discover…

INAD would like to point out that it never intervenes anonymously with practitioners or firms implicated by consumers. Therefore, no consultant can rely on the guarantee or support of INAD, in their personal approaches to clairvoyance professionals to put pressure on them and ask them for any financial restitution. In the same way, the INAD never intervenes with professionals to make them change their behavior if it is not contacted by a client who feels wronged. Consequently, any maneuver undertaken by a practitioner against one of his colleagues…

Convicted of having defrauded 167,000 euros, a young woman ‘‘manipulates justice’’ to the point that her victim can recover practically nothing. Marcel leads a peaceful life in the Alps. Single, in his forties, he has a quiet job and a quiet private life. In short, he is not dealing with major worries about money, work or love. But this daily routine is tasteless and colorless. Like many French people, Marcel is interested in occult sciences. This led him to meet, in Sion in Switzerland, Father Jean Bosco. This Capuchin priest detects a devious evil in…

My dear Jean Louis, …I thought of you very strongly, and, suddenly, I felt an impression of distrust, then of fear. A signal went off in my mind… This signal warned me of imminent danger. Jean Louis, a threat hangs over your entire life… Your existence will fall into a zone of unfavorable turbulence. Dark clouds will plunge your destiny into darkness. … at the speed of a storm, this hurricane, which makes me so afraid for you, will break against your existence and weaken it at the same time… on a financial, sentimental or social level, the problems and…

… at the beginning of December on a free newspaper I saw an advertisement concerning Mr Saibou, marabout, I was in the middle of depression and I was fed up with clairvoyants and mediums so I said to myself: “why not try!!” So I made an appointment with this gentleman for a consultation for €50 …he brings me into his room, asks me for the €50 and tells me to take off my shoes and sit down. He asks me about my current concern, I tell him that for me it is an employment problem. He asks me for my photo, those of my children and my partner. He grabs the…

How to describe this show broadcast this weekend on TF1? Pitiful! Christophe Dechavanne enchanted us with programs like “Du fer dans les spinach”, “Coucou c’est nous” or “Ciel mon Mardi”. Quality shows where humor was skillfully mixed with reflection. Are Dechavanne and his coyotes lacking inspiration to bring us a show where the sensational is so forced that it has become grotesque? So much so that we thought we had gone back ten years, a cursed era when TF1 was (already!) producing shows where fakery was required. Patrick Sabatier and Jean-Marc…

She had found the right vein. A trick which ensured him a comfortable income and would have earned him at least 80,000 euros, to the detriment of at least 94 victims throughout France. Facts which earned him, yesterday, an appearance before the Grasse criminal court for breach of trust. Heard at length, the false clairvoyant but real manager of a successful business continued to deny the facts. The court reserved its decision until March 17. In 2000, this 44-year-old from Mouans was hired as a secretary in a telephone clairvoyance company in Le Cannet.…

On many points, Judaism and Islam present similarities in the relationships they have with the divinatory arts. Indeed, Arab alchemists received from Greek antiquity three distinct elements which contributed to favoring their mystical and physical approach to natural phenomena. Jewish mysticism, for its part, mingled with Greek currents, creating a new orientation since the end of antiquity and throughout the Middle Ages. It induces communion with divinity. The ritual dictated by the Torah acquires a certain magical power. Only religious people had the…

In order to prevent consultants from being abused by certain dubious professionals and by multiple misleading advertisements, we provide consumers with a list of practitioners who have undertaken on their honor to respect the provisions set out in the moral and professional charter and to carry out their activity with seriousness, honesty and loyalty in order to best satisfy the consultants who will use their services… We would like to remind you that: “The practitioner of the divinatory arts is only bound by an obligation of means (use of his…

…About 4 years ago, I contacted the European Center for Clairvoyance which resided: “33 chemin des fades at 06110 Cannet and at the time had the telephone number 04.92.18.45.15 I believe (?) To resolve certain problems, and I was hoping for help and this office assured me of it. As I was very fragile and particularly depressed, I believed in everything, in all the clairvoyance consultations that were given to me and in the (very expensive) products that would work to get me out of the embarrassment, they promised me in vain. In short, today I am in debt…

Magic and religion have in common that they are based on beliefs or supernatural beings. But as sociologist Emile Durkheim points out, “the magician has a clientele, not a church”. Arab alchemists received from Greek Antiquity (Coptic and Syriac) three distinct elements which contributed to favoring their mystical and physical approach to natural phenomena. Collections of operations, recipes, processes in metallurgy and pharmacopoeia as well as the concepts of Aristotelian physics according to which the world is a hierarchy of things (matter and form)…

Whether Norman, Vendée, Berry, the “bocage” (fields and surroundings) is still surrounded by the sulphurous aura of the sorcerers’ and witches’ sabbaths of past centuries. It follows that Witchcraft remains imbued in the public mind with a series of epinal images which do not always correspond to reality. First of all, there is inevitable confusion between Magic and Witchcraft, the terms of which are poorly differentiated, since they are believed to be interchangeable due to ignorance of their specificity. Etymologically, Magic is “The Art of the Magi”.…

Our heroine was the most consulted oracle during three political regimes, fifty years. Through her predictions given to the great, she reached the heights of celebrity, and influenced capital decisions. We followed the thread of his life as it is intertwined with the unfolding of history. Mademoiselle Lenormand, named Marie-Anne, was born in 1768 in Alençon, the same year as Charlotte Corday, originally from the same department. According to other sources, she was born in 1772. A resident of the Benedictines, she would have predicted the name of the…

We hadn’t forgotten her, but almost. No doubt she was keeping quiet in her corner. It was thought that she had gained some awareness and humanity after a visit to the police station. Well no, chase away the crook, she comes back to the tarot. A…., the return. Worse… Remember. It was in 2005, Eliane was in despair to see her husband slowly being eaten away by cancer. The faculty is powerless, Eliane is distraught. As is often the case in these cases, Eliane turns to the intangible. At this stage of distress, who would not be ready to do anything, to…

Who is superstitious? Everyone and no one, we might be tempted to answer. Some defend themselves against it as a shameful illness, others proclaim it loudly without any concern for human respect. We will no more dwell on the opinion of Freud, who considered superstition a “pathological symptom” (like neurosis), than on that of dear Voltaire, a great skeptic before the Eternal who readily said: “Superstition is to religion, what astrology is to Astronomy: the very crazy daughter of a very wise mother” Very debatable opinion! So, how is Superstition…

….I am not in the habit of interfering in the lives of others, but if I am writing to you today it is because the circumstances are really serious and I am forbidden to remain silent, I absolutely must warn you. You must think that my intrusion is a little abrupt, but when you know the reason for this letter, you will forgive me and you will congratulate yourself on my approach. …something is going on. We must act very quickly, because events are moving quickly. I’m not asserting anything. I see it. That’s all. ….It was then that I saw you falling into…

I learned of the indictment of a medium-astrologer working in Montélimar, specializing in numerology and practicing occult work “in a cave dedicated to the Holy Virgin set up in the cellar of her home”! I met this woman, M.., in 2004 at a clairvoyance fair. From consultation to consultation, this person manipulated me by pretending that I was bewitched, me as well as my children. She also said that “everything had to be cleaned, including the apartment.” I was supposed to find serenity, stability, love and financial success. All this, of course, with…

Charlatans of the past It was in the 19th century that the study of Hindu doctrines revived the idea of reincarnation, obscured since antiquity by the censorship of the Church which made it a major heresy since the condemnation of Origen, the great Doctor of Origen, the great Doctor of Alexandria, unfortunate champion of the transmigration of souls. Only the romantic, romantic, artistic circles, so abundant in the 19th century, generously welcomed this foreign philosophy, while scientific materialism, imbued with its discoveries, rejected it as a new…

……For 2 years I consulted the clairvoyance firm M., to whom I left colossal sums. Last October, I expressed to this office my dissatisfaction with the quality of the clairvoyance services provided to me, in particular by Lea Lune, Davina, who told me nothing but lies, making me believe everything and its opposite. This is how the manager of this audiotel service contacted me to threaten me with revealing to my friend the nature of my consultations…, thus the break between him and me would be definitive. I find that the blackmail and threats of this…

…I am sending you the facts relating to the scam of which I was the victim by Mr. Koita M. Indeed, in August 2008, I was in a delicate period, I was going through a bad patch. So I contacted this marabout, whose advertisement I noted in the free: Appeared sold. When I called, this marabout assured me that he was a great professional and able to do “good things” for me, for €750 to be paid in two installments, at the beginning and after the work which is essential to get me out of my embarrassment… I therefore paid him €350 in cash, to the following…

Since the end of 2005, isolated and not supported by those close to me, having no job, I fell into the spiral of clairvoyance audiotels. Finally, through my mother who never knew how to do anything other than educate me with the good women in my life. I recognize all my weaknesses, my twists, but I AM SO ALONE. My parents were never there. The mediums felt it…. It is because I suffered from loneliness, emotional absence, a desire to no longer do the “job” of secretary imposed by my parents, a desire to succeed in entertainment, that I weakened and gave…

No, I don’t regret anything!! Everyone knows the refrain of this beautiful song by Charles Dumont* and immortalized by Edith Piaf. At INAD, we do not regret anything we have done, undertaken both on behalf of consumers and serious professionals. For 21 years, we have carried out strong and positive actions to moralize the entire profession, inform, prevent and defend consumers with loyalty and sincerity. Some dubious practitioners and notorious businessmen saw fit to pursue us in court but they were dismissed and convicted, others believed they could…

I have been working since May 23 with a medium, a member of INAD. He offered me telepathy to bring me closer to my loved one. Today is December 27 and to this day I still haven’t had any reconciliation. What do you think? Should I stop or continue? I pay 120 euros every month for this work and I only have a very small salary. 420 euros per month. This medium is very aware of my difficulties…. In fact he is not a member of INAD but on his website he refers to INAD. …These are A and C. Goléa

I am 19 years old and this weekend I was the victim of a clairvoyance scam. I consulted the organization of…Tel: 04 74…). First of all, they directed me to a clairvoyant who asked me a thousand and one questions. She claimed that I was married that she saw a child in my life even though I had just broken up with my partner and had no children. In addition, she used the excuse of a problem with her phone to charge me for 6 extra minutes. Seeing the meter ticking, I preferred to hang up and was told that the consultation would be €15 for 10 minutes +…

I wanted to have information and share my unfortunate experience. A few years ago I saw a medium… Let’s forget about the fact that I didn’t get an invoice (I read on your site that it was better) he told me that my ex was not returning and that I was meeting a married woman I actually met a married woman… I don’t think I would have done it and especially that I would have hit on her if I hadn’t been told… it took me a while to realize it but I think I was influenced. I suffered a big emotional disappointment in February (that married woman), and I…

It is undeniable that the phenomenon of “automatic writing”, or direct writing, has remained one of the most exciting in the world of parapsychology and the paranormal. “Automatic writing” remains, as we know, one of the most used means of corresponding with the beyond, its goal having always been to prove the existence of a kind of intelligent communication between the living and the dead, and this since the work of Allan Kardec who, in France, is considered the founder of spiritualism. The origin of the phenomenon. But it should also be remembered…
