Maria Duval a Scam Artist
I have received several letters from Maria Duval from Destiny Research Center in Sparks, NV. She told me I would be winning large sums of money in games of chance and I would be moving into a new home and I would never have to worry about money problems again. Well, I fell for her laod of *** and sent off several sums of money totalling around $250.00 or more before I finally woke up and decided that what she was telling me was all a bunch of baloney and all I was doing was making her rich and I was getting poorer. Shame on her for getting old people to fall for her string of lies, and shame on me for being sucked in to her scam. Please don't fall for this pack of lies. They are scamming innocent people out of their hard earned money. I don't believe they would send you the money back even if you requested for it, as they said it was 100% money back guarantee, which was another lie. Wish I could get my money back.

Sent me a pendant
Maria Duval sent me a pendant as a gift. The letter said to wear it for 30 days and wish for what I wanted with all my heart. To keep the necklace on when I needed to feel safe. I wore it for protection when I spoke out against the KKK on the news. I didn't understand the writing on it but I didn't think it was bad. Rumors started that I was a devil worshiper. In the end I didn't feel safe. Just sad. I should have prayed for protection. I was a fool and should have known better. I still don't know what the necklace said and don't really care. I don't know if I'll ever get over being disappointed with myself for putting it on in the first place.

RING OF RE
I got the RING OF RE and the REPORT. I broke it soon after, however when the opportunity came again , I re-ordered the RING ( 3 of them) and got a new REPORT. I will try to take better care of it this time. I felt a tingling sensation on my finger. More info can be found at: ATLANTIS-RING.COM----- and it is more costly as well. You will find this information very helpful in your use of the RING. I have not had a problem in getting anything from Destiny Reserch - Maria Deval at any time. People use different names on selling the RING. The full story can be found at the site I have mentioned here. Thank-You!

Maria Duval i want refund!!!
I started getting her letters of hope and encuragement since 2008. Ive been sending her money on and off ever since up till this past January or Feb., 2012. When all of a sudden right after i had sent her the money? No sooner then it got in the mail, she sent another letter asking for more money for another one of her so called rituals and predictions! I cant keep up with her and ive asked her many times for a refund for what i already paid for and again, she sent another letter asking for money for something! How in the world do i get in touch with her without having to send another letter stating i want a refund? Also, I want these fausifyed letters of promises to stop coming to me, because everytime i get one, i get stuck opening it due to the fact, its not noted with a return address on top. I want her to stop robbing people and give refunds asap! Arline Linebeger-Ubl.

Maria duval - if only we weren't so desperate!
I am encouraged to join this sight simply because i have more faith - It occurred to me after my first $90 payout to Maria that she does in fact give me a time frame to reply: I wrote to query this and advised her that it is impossible for me to return mail within certain time frames but told her to keep my cash as I believe they do a good job. I was informed later (it takes 4 weeks from me/them mailing my/their reply check the send date against your receive date to actually clearing my payment...way outside the time frame stated but I overlooked this initially but time frames are of great importance in Readings) that I could perhaps go through the Australian Call Centre rather than the French one if it would help to expedite things in future - a letter of regret was received and my $90 was refunded in 60 days!I did not request this refund at all. I have had the opportunity twice since including one recent, unfortunately the bank has not returned a replacement card to me for me to do so in time ( 48hrs in this case) so obviously I know it would be pointless to reply as much as I want to. My partner offered to use his credit card once but unfortunately because it was not in my name they sent me a letter regrettably informing me I am unable to use anothers card..I think thats pretty good too...Don't give up so easily. Have faith and read the small print - Good luck to you all regardless

Scammed my elderly mother
Recently discovered my 82 year old mother had been sending money to Maria Duval and receiving false predictions of coming into large amounts of money and to receive Duval's so called help with matters. The letters from Duval always, always request money. This whole thing is one big scam on the elderly!! I have reviewed other postings concerning this individual and the organization she uses. There are numerous complaints and several investigations going on related to Duval. Why hasn't this person been stopped and arrested? I now have to monitor my mother's mail every day to make sure no other solicitation letters get to my elderly mother so I can protect her from fraud like this!!

Took my money and did not give me product. advertised.nothing
Maria Duval - Destiny Research Center, 14-3650 Langstaff Road #289 Woodbridge, ON L4L 9A8, agreed to send me a pendant necklace & earrings, plus biomagnetic bracelet, plus astrology chart, for $30.00. I never received anything. Now I get another letter today, asking for another $60.00 and I will receive a pure gold pendant, with real diamonds, a magnetized talisman, and an astro-clairvoyant forecast, covering the next 12 months, claiming 99.9% accuracy on every aspect of my life, including financial forecasts, continuously with more money being asked for with a personal consultation with Maria Duval every three months. This person also claimed to have had an audience with Pope John Paul II at the Vatican, Several movie stars, the President of the U.S.A., members of the Royal Family of Britain. She claims to be a psychic, and medium. Last year I was sent advertising for weight loss pills, for $100.00, then weight loss patches, for another $100.00 from this same address in Woodbridge ON. I ordered the weight loss pills and patches, but was unable to continue taking them, because they made me very ill. I really feel these are all the same people, working different angles, to get more money, all the time.

Destiny Research Centre / Maria Duval Scam
My senior friend has been sending $59.00/ every two weeks since Feb. 2011 to Maria Duval . She sends him literature, lucky numbers, rings and now she wants to send him 7 parchments. He is told that when he receives these,all he has to do is to hold them, and I quote: "Your powers of visualisation develop. They become so strong that all you need to do is visualise a situation for it to happen." These are *** artists and thieves, guilty of senior abuse. Here is what the New Zealand ScamWatch Says: Maria Duval scams have been investigated by the Ontario Police, US Postal Service agencies in five Australian states, New York Better Business Bureau, and Europe. In New Zealand, Maria Duval is listed as a scam on the Ministry of Consumer Affairs Scamwatch website."

Tired of getting ripped off? Sent in $10.00 dollars and haven't as yet got any thing I was promised.
Sent in $10.00 dollars and haven't as yet got any thing I was promised. IE; a cross and some sort of secrets to wealth and so on. So I did some research and found that this was a scam. Lucky me. Luckily it was only $10 bucks and not any more. I am on a fixed income with little to spare. I then checked with the better bussiness buearu to see what they had on file, and there was a bunch.

I can't believe this scam mail.....how is it that no one can stop this nonsense....This is the second letter I have received and I can now purchase a cross for $45.00 plus S&H for $4.00.....golly how could anyone believe such garbage...What scares me more than anything is all of the questions to be answered.....be smart and send it all back to her in the envelope provided and write SCAM and DEVIL'S WORK on the return envelope...I always mark up the literature and pictures with the same so they can't be used again and no stamp so she gets to pay for postage...if we could get more doing this maybe we could shut her or him down......
I livein Fort Myers, Florida and I just got a letter in the mail indicating that October 15, 2012 is a special "Black Moon" night where rituals can be performed and I will $25,000.00 if I cut the "Talisman" (gold-like bendable coin) hold it to my chest & think positive thoughts then mail it back within 7 days and she will start preparing for me. Also that she "would NEVER do this sort of thing, but today is different." I must be VERY special for her to pick my name out of the phone book right?
What a Joke.
Everyone has hopes of winning something like this but it is said if ayone asks you for $ when they say you can win something then IT'S A SCAM. F-off Marie & straighten up or you're going to ***.
