Avoiding Scams

The web is full of fake practitioners who promise and swear to the working of their rituals, with the sole aim of taking your money without achieving anything. The online esoteric sector is one of the most affected by scams of all, and the people who approach it — often in a moment of pain, vulnerability and despair — are the easiest targets for those who exploit these emotional states for their own advantage. Knowing the warning signs is the best way to protect yourself. This page will give you the tools to tell a serious practitioner from a charlatan before entrusting anyone with your trust and your money.

The first unmistakable sign of a charlatan is the promise of guaranteed results in unrealistically short times: 'I'll bring back your loved one in 3 days', 'love binding in 24 hours', 'visible results within 72 hours'. True magic does not work like this. Subtle energies take time to accumulate, amplify and manifest on the physical plane. Whoever promises impossible timing already knows they will deliver nothing and aims only to collect before the client realises they have been deceived. Real esoteric practitioners give realistic estimates based on the complexity of the case, not showy promises designed to sell.

The second classic sign is the request for ever-higher progressive payments, accompanied by sudden 'complications' discovered during the work. 'There is an unexpected energetic block requiring an additional ritual'. 'Someone has put a powerful hex on you that we must first remove'. 'The karma is heavy, an extraordinary intervention is needed'. These are the standard pretexts by which charlatans extract more money from those already emotionally invested in the path and unlikely to give up. A serious practitioner sets the total costs at the start and respects them. Unforeseen expenses do not exist in serious professional practice.

The third sign to bear in mind is the lack of a verifiable history. Charlatans appear and disappear: they change name, change website, change phone number. They have no real, verifiable testimonials. They have no measurable historical presence. They cannot be traced on Google with a coherent multi-year history. Before relying on any esoteric practitioner, search for their name and their studio online: what do you find? How long have they been present? Are the testimonials they show real, with first and last names, or anonymous and generic? A verifiable history is the first requirement of reliability.

The fourth sign is the absence of any form of guarantee. A practitioner who knows they cannot deliver the promised results never offers a real guarantee — or, if they do, structures it so they never have to honour it. Real guarantees have clear conditions, defined timeframes and concrete refund procedures. Our full refund guarantee is written, unconditional and applied without exception: if the promised results do not occur within the agreed timeframe, we return every euro. This is our concrete answer to the tide of charlatans infesting the sector.

Be especially wary of those who use fear as a sales tool. 'You are gravely cursed and I need to intervene at once or something very bad could happen to you'. 'That person has paid someone to harm you and the situation is extremely urgent'. 'If you don't act now you risk losing the loved one forever'. These psychological pressure techniques are designed to strike at the moment of greatest vulnerability and push you into impulsive purchase of operations you do not need. A true esoteric practitioner does not use fear to sell: he uses clarity and trust.

We at Studio Esoterico Cornelio do not want to profit from magic: we ask only for real, transparent expense reimbursements to cover the concrete costs of the operations — ritual materials, professional working time, energies employed. This is our unchanged policy for over forty years. Our costs are communicated clearly at the start, without surprises, without progressions, without pretexts. Before relying on any practitioner, do your research: look for real, verifiable testimonials, assess the historical presence and reliability of the studio, and be wary of those who appeared on the web recently with promises of miracles.

The guarantee of success we offer is the most concrete and unequivocal demonstration that we are different from charlatans. No scammer would ever offer a full refund guarantee: their business model is based precisely on not delivering. Our guarantee exists because we accept only the cases we know we can bring to resolution, and because in over forty years of daily work we have built the certainty — not the hope — of being able to reach the goals we promise.
