I love this quote:

"I'm no psychic but I can foresee this: If you make deceptive claims, there is an FTC action in your future," said Howard Beales, director of the FTC's consumer protection bureau. "

"Florida authorities have a civil case pending against the service's spokeswoman, Youree Dell Harris, known in advertising as the Jamaican mystic "Miss Cleo." During a deposition in June, Harris repeatedly invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, refusing to discuss a birth certificate that shows she was born in Los Angeles to American parents. "

Wonder who she'll get a job with next...

yea they have to give back 500million but they get to keep 500million

LoveMatch · 11-14-2002, 02:49 PM

No, they only collected half of the 1 Billion, so they only collected half of that IE: 500 million, which they now must return.

A black woman posing as a jamaican mystic made a billion dollars. I'm going to adopt a black girl & teach her how to speak in a jamaican accent.

What's the odds on a lot of money goes missing. But the thing is the people who believed the line she was putting out.

You will not get charged.

Under the settlement, the companies did not admit to breaking any law but agreed to stop trying to collect money from customers who called the service and to forgive about $500 million in outstanding charges. The service also must return all uncashed checks to customers.

Beales said that during three years of operation the service charged people about $1 billion and collected half of it. The callers did include many satisfied customers, he said.

Looks like to me all they have agreed to do is not try to collect on unpaid charges and to give back uncashed checks
