Don't Get Scammed: A Warning About Online "Spiritual Scams"

Quora: Message From The Victim

I recently came across a concerning message that I wanted to share with you all. It highlights a common scam tactic used by individuals posing as "spiritual workers" or similar service providers. The message describes a network of people who appear warm, convincing, and spiritually knowledgeable, but their true intentions are far from helpful.

Here's how this particular scam unfolds:

Initially, these individuals come across as genuinely supportive and insightful. However, once you send money, typically through services like Western Union, to various names for pickup, their behavior shifts dramatically. They often start by demanding more and more money. After receiving payment, they begin to delay, ignore messages, or disappear entirely. The promised "results" are never delivered – just a string of excuses and what the victim describes as "bunch of BS." To make matters worse, refunds are almost never given, especially for services they claim are "guaranteed money."

This isn't an isolated incident. This is a coordinated effort by a network of scammers working together. Their goal is to manipulate and financially exploit vulnerable people.

Another individual Reports

be cautious of is operating under the username @Healerbarajcee, linked to the phone number +1 712 218 7649. This supposed spellcaster was discovered through Quora and offered a structured pricing system with a guarantee of results or a refund within 21 days:

• $300 for results within 21 days

• $500 within 14 days

• $700 within 7 days

• $1,000 within 5 days

After payment was made for the $300 tier, the practitioner became unresponsive. When contact was re-established days later, they claimed the client had failed to disclose a third-party interference and demanded an additional $300 to perform a new ritual—one allegedly necessary to remove the obstruction.

This is a textbook example of scam behavior: the sudden introduction of new spiritual "complications" designed to pressure clients into further payment. Such tactics are manipulative and unethical, and this individual should be avoided at all costs.

How to Protect Yourself from Spiritual Scams

• Be wary of anyone asking for payment via untraceable methods: Western Union, MoneyGram, or gift cards are often favored by scammers because the transactions are difficult to reverse or track.

• Question promises of "guaranteed" results: Especially in spiritual or mystical services, there are rarely guarantees. Be skeptical of anyone who promises quick fixes or surefire outcomes in exchange for money.

• Do your research: Before sending any money, thoroughly research the individual or service. Look for independent reviews, check for a legitimate online presence, and see if others have reported similar experiences.

• Trust your gut: If something feels off, it probably is. If someone is pressuring you, demanding more money, or their story doesn't add up, step away.

Countries Where You're On Your Own: The "Don't Give a F**k" List for Spiritual Scams

It's also important to understand that in some parts of the world, legal recourse for these types of scams is virtually nonexistent. If you're dealing with someone operating out of these regions, your chances of getting your money back or seeing justice served are incredibly slim. Be extra cautious if your "spiritualist" or "native doctor" claims to be from or operates primarily in these countries:

1. Nigeria: Spellcasters operate openly under the label of "native doctors" or "spiritualists." Even when fraud is rampant, enforcement is rare unless it turns violent or public. People are expected to "use discernment," and reporting it makes you look foolish.

2. Haiti: Vodou is embedded in the culture, and spiritual work is treated with respect—even when it's exploitative. Scams aren't policed. Unless someone dies or it gets political, authorities will not interfere.

3. Indonesia: So many people use dukuns (shamans) for everything from healing to hexing. It's deeply woven into society. If you get scammed, nobody will care. Legal authorities treat it like religious or cultural expression.

4. Philippines: Faith healers and spirit workers abound. Government doesn't regulate them and treats it as cultural. Complaining makes you look like a naive outsider. You're on your own.

5. DR Congo / Cameroon / Togo: Witchcraft and spiritual services are everywhere, but legal systems are weak or overburdened. Fraud claims rarely go anywhere. Locals handle disputes through community justice or revenge—not police.

6. Brazil (rural areas especially): Candomblé and Umbanda practitioners aren't regulated. In favelas or small towns, authorities ignore complaints unless it becomes violent or criminal beyond the spellwork itself.

7. Bangladesh / Nepal: Witch doctors, healers, and tantric practitioners operate freely. If you're scammed, there's no legal structure to handle it—just chalked up to bad karma or gullibility.

8. Russia (rural): Spellcasters are all over social media and Telegram. It's considered "personal spiritual belief"—and if you get duped? No one's helping. You might even be blamed for being too trusting.

Bottom line: In these places, if you lose money to a fraud, there are zero legal protections, no regulatory bodies, and no social support. You're expected to deal with it privately—or not at all.

Where to Report Spiritual Scams (Apply H2 in Wix)

If you believe you've been a victim of a scam, it's crucial to report it. If you're a U.S. citizen, contacting the US embassy is a valid step. Here are some other resources you can use:

• Federal Trade Commission (FTC): You can report scams to the FTC.

• Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3): The IC3, a partnership between the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), accepts complaints about internet crime.

• Your local law enforcement: File a police report with your local authorities.

• Western Union (or other money transfer service): If you sent money through a service like Western Union, report the fraudulent transaction to them directly.

Let's all be vigilant and help protect ourselves and others from these predatory scams. Share this information to spread awareness!
