Apply for Restitution
Take the first step toward reclaiming what was taken from you.
Complete the form below as thoroughly as possible. All submissions are reviewed confidentially.
If you believe you were the victim of psychic fraud, you may apply for support through the Restitution Fund.
Being deceived in this way can be confusing and difficult to process. This application is designed to help you take a clear and structured step forward.
This application is intended for people who experienced clear financial exploitation in connection with a psychic, medium, spiritual advisor, spellcaster, or related service. The purpose of this fund is to offer limited financial relief in qualifying cases and to support people who were manipulated through fear, false promises, coercion, or repeated demands for money.
Applications are reviewed by a committee and restitution is awarded twice a year. The application deadline is March 1 for restitution awarded by April 15 and September 1 for restitution awarded by October 15.
The maximum restitution allotment is either the full amount lost or $500 USD, whichever amount is lower. The restitution fund reserves the right to award a lower amount based on the number of applications received, the strength of the applications, and other relevant factors.
Submitting an application does not guarantee an award. Each application will be reviewed carefully according to the fund’s guidelines, available resources, and verification process.
Please apply only if the situation involved suspected psychic fraud or closely related spiritual-service fraud.
Examples may include:
- Being told you were cursed, blocked, hexed, or in spiritual danger and pressured to pay money to remove it
- Being repeatedly asked for more money to complete spiritual work, rituals, cleansing, or protection
- Being promised guaranteed outcomes in love, health, money, family matters, or legal matters in exchange for payment
- Being manipulated through fear, urgency, secrecy, or emotional dependency
- Being pressured to keep sending money after previous payments did not resolve the claimed problem
The following may not qualify:
- General dissatisfaction with a reading
- A prediction that did not come true, by itself
- A misunderstanding about personal beliefs or spiritual style, without evidence of financial exploitation
- Situations where there is not enough information to evaluate the claim
To complete this application, please be prepared to provide as much supporting information as possible.
Helpful documentation may include:
- Dates of contact or transactions
- Amounts paid
- Screenshots of text messages, emails, or social media messages
- Receipts, invoices, payment confirmations, or bank/credit card records
- The name, business name, website, phone number, email address, or social media account used by the provider
- A brief explanation of what happened
You may still apply if you do not have every item listed above, but stronger documentation may help the review process. Please complete all information gathering up front as you will be unable to submit further documentation after the initial application.
Privacy and Honesty Notice
Please provide truthful and accurate information to the best of your knowledge. Intentionally false submissions will be denied.
Only one application per person is allowed. Submitting multiple applications may result in disqualification.
After submission, applications will be reviewed according to the fund’s procedures. In some cases, additional documentation may be requested before a decision is made.
Because the fund is limited, not every qualifying application can be approved. Awards, if made, may be partial rather than full reimbursement.
Restitution awards will be announced on or before April 15 or October 15 of each year.
