Ms. Duval, initiated contact with me around June '09. I have received numerous mailings [all of which I've kept], responded to a few, [not smart]. Promises of fortune, money, love, magnet to others, blah, blah, blah. Also offered Talismans of power, which were nothing but trinkets. Returned two Items & only received payment for one. Still waiting for check to clear. Everything is 100% guaranteed, no questions asked, had to write a letter for money, & still need to about balance. Found out on www.consumerfraudreporting.org/reporting.php, that Ms. Duval is on the main screen & one of the top 5 scammers! I have filed a ic3 form @ complaint.ic3.gov/update, a local police report, notified my cc, canceled my bank/cc & received a new one, put a 90 day alert, on the three credit bureaus. I still need to notify my Attorney General/Consumer Fraud Division, BBB here & where originated, also Social Security. If anyone is contacted by this person, stay away! They are also trying to say I bounced a check, & I didn't! They're good! If already involved, get out now! I need my money back! Help! Any Suggestions? [protected]@aol.com, THANKS!
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
Yona Farrell is another psychic who's scam is actually like Maria Duval. Maybe there are the same person...
Type in Yona Farrell in the search on Complaintboards and compare the two.
Maria Duval CNN and French Psychic Astrologer Dr. Turi - Today, like million of interested people I read Blake Ellis and Melanie Hicken's final article on this illusive psychic. A few days ago, I spoke to those bright women, and gave them the information they were after, I also clearly understood the purpose of their investigation and did not expect much publicity or see my website www.drturi.com in their article. Regardless I will take this opportunity to thank them both for printing the following... Read more and share pls! http://www.drturi.com/maria-duval-cnn-and-french-psychic-astrologer-dr-turi/
Sent money ($20) for rings that never showed up! It's been 5 weeks and I've learned a lesson, especially since I've read the other complaints about this same product. Buyer Beware!
I have been geting letters saying that I 'AM going to win a lot of money. I have beened Scamed.
I fell for her scam too! Thank god I looked this company up on my computer to see if it was for real and I saw all the complaints on this site and it freak me out and I rushed to my bank to stop payment on some payments that were in the mail to her. I had a feeling it was to good to be true The reason it didn't look right was that she would tell me in her letters not tell anyone about it. But, she did ripped me off with a lot of my money before I snapped. I agree we should get together and sue the $$$$ out of them. Has anyone contacted the BBB to get there money back?

Have I been stupid? Maybe because the necessity is so great, and the desire to acquire a better life, that we become so vulnerable. She has sounded so sincere and caring, If she is for real, I do not think their would be this many complaints, although she does take the time to write. Ha ha. Well I am a 3.5 hr drive from Las Vegas/Henderson, Nevada. I would really like to show up on her door step, face to face and request a refund. NOW! cut me a check. How do you think that will go?, My best childhood friend lives there and knows a lot of important people, I am going to have her checked out. I feel horrible, I am not a gullible person either, but she did hit some questions, fishing for answers, that were right on the money, and it kind of scared me, made me question if she was for real and sincere. I did not give her what she wanted to hear. But with all of these negative complaints of un- satisfied customers she aught to hang it up. I am available also sanvantex57@gmail.com.
.S.S.D.
I would like it if she would stop sending me her junk mail
to tess from mn.i am with you lets get together and sue the ### out of these people for mental anguish or something.Paul from Wy.
My name is Matthew and I like most people were hoping to get some good luck. I lost my job, my wife and everything I owned. Before I could get back to work my brother was shot. So for the last 2 years I have been helping my parents take care of him. He can not do anything for himself, so we have to do everything for him. He can't even talk. Since I have been helping them I can not work because helping them is a full time job. So I really needed some luck. I was hoping to win enough money to help my parents with my brother, get a place of my own, and get my training so I can go back to work or start my own business. She needs to pay for the money she has taken from people and for the disappointment. She needed to pay for taking advantage of people. If you want to write me you can at 460 Lynns Sleepy Hollow South Shore Ky. 41175. I wish you all the best of luck.
I was asked twice for 11 postage stamps am now flooded with letters and promises, and am poorer than when it all began.
Does anyone know how to actually get in touch with Maria or whoever runs this company? Can someone give me a phone number? The only one I found is disconnected.
Thank you!

I got one of her letters today maria says that I will make 25k on the 15th of october all I have to go is send her 10 bucks for now, I knew this was a scam so I looked her up and found this site. Thanks a lot for the info and I will inform my local BBB about them. Also I have found out that this scam goes by the name of The SECRET SOCIETY and asks for 140.00 for their info and the mailings are out of Dallas, TX and Beachwood, Ohio so be careful who You send money to because there's a good chance you won't see it again! IT's all a rip-off.
I thought that perhaps I had found a psychic that I could work with concerning life events. I used to have a wonderful and accurate one in NOLA that had died. I thought Maria Duval was for real. - what a load of ### that turned out to be. I had sent a check for $90 for the Talisman, etc, which they cashed. The following day they had deducted, without my permission, another $30 for a "returned check".
All that did was to give them a total of $120.00, and who knowss when thry will strike again, in spite of a block put on my account..
STAY AWAY FROM THESE RIP OFF ARTISTS. THEY'RE GOOD. VERY GOOD! they also have no phone number to contact them with, and written correspondence goes un-answered.
I got the same letter in today as many of you, but I researched them first and found this page. After reading all of the posts I reported this company/person to BBB. I suggest you all do the same in order to shut this person down, and fast. The more people that file the faster it will be shut down.
my name is annette towen i just got a letter from her to day telling me the same thing about a black moon on the 20th of april. she said i would be getting big sum of money comeing, she sent a talisman to me also.

My Husband has received 100's of letters from this Person we all call Maria Duvall..I have told him numerous times to ignore her, but he like so many others are hoping for some good luck. I think this person needs to be charged to the full extent for her crimes. We need to to make an example of her (?) thats if she is a woman..please everyone that has been contacted by her..report her...these people who are getting ripped off have worked hard for their money, and worked an honest job.
she has no phone number or email address i can't believe i was scam by her i really needed luck
i have not receive the ring yet it's been a week if i ever found maria duval i will press charges on her for fraud and mail fraud which it is a federal crime she will be facing if she is ever found
Hi there, I have been receiving these letters for ages, and I searched to try to find a phone number to get my address removed.
So, I dug a little further and found PhoneBusters, a Canadian initiative with the RCMP to help "recognize, report and stop fraud" which this Maria Duval and Destiny Research Center are.
The number to call is [protected]. They welcome the calls and forward the information on to the appropriate people (police, etc.) to further investigate.
I strongly encourage anyone in Canada who has received ANY letter from Maria Duval or the Destiny Research Center to call and register the fraud to PhoneBusters.
I haven't sent money myself, but this is clearly fraud. I was told that several seniors have been ripped off anywhere from $10 to $4, 000.
It is a complete scam. Please get the word out, and report any mail if you get it to PhoneBusters! The more complaints they get, the more this scam will be investigated and taken seriously.
If you are a victim of fraud, be sure to get the word out to local media as well. I am sending info along and posting to facebook in case it helps someone.
