Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
"Clairvoyant, Palmist Medium and Spiritual Healer" card through letterbox
Does anyone know if there's a place one can report these unscrupulous parasites? Are they actually illegal?
This card includes offers to help with immigration, getting a loved one back, financial problems, 'blessing', 'Immediate result guaranteed' etc etc. Though at least it doesn't claim to cure AIDS I'd still like to contribute to getting it stopped.
Though generally I'm not one for dobbing people in, I think this form of preying on the vulnerable is the pits. So any information gratefully received.
Thanks, Marian

Ha-bloody-ha. Hugh,I feel my new-found sunnier disposition coming under renewed threat already.
Marian, I'm sure the deep-pan pizza meatfeast ads that tumbled simultaneously through your letterbox will do much greater harm to the vulnerable, the undocumented and the lovelorn abandoned than all the charms and blessings and spiritual healing of the palmist and clairvoyant.

It's not a scam, they really are psychic. Honest

No Police force can ever track them down. They always seem to be one step ahead of them for some reason.

Advertising Standards Authority?
They did the UCKG for claiming that their holy oil cured heat problems. ...Maybe they'd take a look at the psychics too.

It's almost as if they could see into the future.

I had been told recently that the law only covers products which are claimed to have magical/healing powers, I guess it is because they are tangible objects and can be disproven easily.
Please let me know if you find a way to get these things banned or at least make it difficult for the people supplying these "services", as I agree they are preying on the vulnerable.
Old-Age-Emporium(OAE) - Never had a pizza leftlet through the door that claimed it could cure cancer or improve my resilience to black magic... yet.

Look...."He does anti social behaviour in people." Maybe if we all chipped in a lot of problems could be solved.

Yes...."success in business" is there. I am not sure "bringing back loved ones" is a great idea.
