Bogus healer Mohammed Hayir duped man out of 70,000

[Adeel]

In September last year, leaflets were delivered in Headington, Oxford, by a man called Mohammed Hayir who claimed to be able to help people affected by black magic and a wide range of personal problems.

One man called the number and, over the next two months, was defrauded out of 70,000. Hayir has not been found.

There have been many other cases of rogues claiming to have spiritual healing powers, clairvoyant insight and other unproven skills.

But some victims have such strong faith in them that they refuse to accept they have been exploited.

We would advise people to be very wary when dealing with people making clairvoyant, spiritual and healing claims, said Oxfordshire County Council trading standards manager Ian Marriott.
There are very few controls on who can claim to deliver these services, which makes it difficult to establish who is genuine. Because this is an area based on belief rather than facts, it is easy for people to be exploited.

Trading standards advice is always to be wary of anyone trying to sell you things. Most good traders do not have to hard-sell their products or services in this way.
