My 82 year old Father was a victim as well got him for 180.00 someone needs to do something. it is very disheartning that these people prey on the elderly i am going to call my district attorneys office and put in a complaint. something needs to be done to these people what they are doing is criminal if someones goes into a bank and robs then they go to jail that is what needs to be done to these people they are stealing from old innocent people. for those who feel they should know a con when they see one i hope when you are old and someone tells you something that is too good to be true you will not fall for it

Unbelievable how many people fall for this crap! Geez!

These rip off people are calling and saying they can reduse your current magazine subscriptions amounts because most people have subscrptions so you assume they are who you contract with. But you are not contracted with them for your current magazines. The reduction sounds inticing because everyone is looking for a saving. But if you take the time to look at the amounts they are quoting is crazy.
They say they can reduce your $500 (really, who would order that many magazines) to $99 (I don't read that many). In my case they got ahold of my 80 year old husband who thought he was doing me a favor, but has created a disater. They were able to get him to agree and got our bank information. Fortunately, I saw the amount pending on my account that say day and called my bank. My bank even recognized them as fraud. The funds did not pay, so they have sent a collection notice and are having people call. The collection agency said that once my husband agreed it is binding. Well, I disagree since they obtained the information under false pretense. These people need to be stopped.

I was a victim of this vicious Maria Duval/Destiny Research Center also, as my husband and I are going through a Financial Hardship. I believe in astrology and then I got all of these letters, ring of re, talismans, books and from her friend Patrick Guerin/akaDestiny Research Center. I sent money too, like a desperate fool, but no more. I am notifying my bank if any check comes through for Destiny Research, stop payment, fraud. I would also like to get my money back as it is over $200.00 and I am very sick about it. We are in such bad shape, we are behind in our mortgage, we can't buy our medicine and groceries. What these scam artists don't realize is that if you are that evil to people in such bad financial situations that believe in luck and miracles and astrology that this will go back on them in spades. What goes around comes around. Don't think for one minute, all of the money and people you scammed that you are going to get away with it. I don't think so, the demons will come after you in spades, you do evil, it will come back and haunt you triple. I will never be taken again. I was desperate to believe, I know some people will probably not understand this, but I thought maybe something would come true. In the back of my mind, I thought, God forgive me if I have been scammed. Please forward this to the proper authorities, FBI CIA Attorney Generals Office.

I don't care if I get mail from her, it is costing her, I would never give money to answer her correspondence. I just read them and leave them. I have been receiving mail from her since 2009 and I have never sent her any money. So the choice is yours, not hers, if you send money, it is your responsibility, don't blame anyone, unless you are sure that she is genuine. Your complaints only started through your naivety.

I'm in the same situation. I agree that once you start sending money that take you for a sucker and is constantly bothering you over and over and over and over and over and over again and it is never ending. I stopped many years back and I have recently started getting junk mail from her and her cohorts again and I am totally fed up with it. Wish someone could stop her and her cohorts. I just will continue to throw out her junk mail until someone can stop her. poohb358

Same with me-received tonns of letters since 2005 (maybe even earlier)-returned to the sender, paid once-never got my money back. Letters disappeared for awhile, then i moved-letters come to my new address! They come every week-i simply destroy them and just sent a letter recommended by Wndsor Police (Ontario, Canada) stating that i won't press charges against Destiny Reasearch Centre (a.k.a.Maria Duval)if i get my refund.

There are new people mailing from the same address-astrologers, etc, plus i received letters in the past from about 10 different "psychics" which proves that my name is circulated near and far (New Zealand, Australia, Spain, US).

I feel bad for you and hoping that letters will stop some day.
