Horoscope Review: Zoradamus Exploits the Dead Astrologer Madame Soliel
71Zoradamus is "N. Zora" Now and Stealing a Dead Woman's Name
France's most famous astrologer, who died in 1996, sent me emails from beyond the grave. Was I surprised! Of course the emails were not actually from the late Germaine Soliel (1913-1996), advisor to French politicians and movie stars. An impostor is using her name, slightly misspelled -- and the email is really from "Zoradamus," a fake online astrologer-clairvoyant based in France and exposed by Horoscope Review in August 2011.
Knowing we all laughed at "her" name, Zoradamus Medium has renamed herself in these emails "Zora, Personal Astral Adviser" but uses text identical to the usual set of emails, with the same bad grammar and misspellings. "She" says she located me with psychic power and begged me to accept her "free clairvoyance" offer. When I did not respond, "Germaine Solliel" sent a second email from Zora, who wrote, "I don't understand the people who refuse to open their door to a woman like me who can serve them luck on a plate!" She continued with a threat: "There are happy days for those who trust me and very sad days for the others!" Of course I did not reply.
The next email's subject line reads, "I hope your computer has not broken down Sylvia" and tells me my "astral energies" were "irresistible" to her. Just as before, "Zora," who is still "Zoradamus" on her website, foresees a big lottery win for me. I'm still waiting for the win she promised in August. As proof that she is a "bot," a totally computerized entity, and not a woman or even a person, I simply clicked on a link that exposed the URL "http://machine.zoradamusmedium.com/admin/log_mails/webcopy/878368/10005." I suppose "Zora" hopes you don't notice she calls herself a machine or posts "webcopy" instead of the very personal readings she claims, and "bots" emails that gush to everyone on her mailing list, "Just being in touch with you is such a pleasure and honor." If you don't answer her emails, you'll eventually get one saying, "One day everyone will abandon you and you won't understand why."
I've investigated and reviewed Zoradamus and am finished with "her," but I want to express outrage at the shameful way the site's owner, Millennium Institute, Inc., registered in Panama, exploited a dead astrologer's name in hopes of making a Euro or two by misleading a mostly European target audience who may have heard of Soleil. Soliel (her real name) was so prominent that even French President Georges Pompidou publicly joked about not being able to predict events as she did. And "Germaine's" return address is sender@oxalismail.com, a dot-com based in France and created on Oct. 21, 2011, about eight weeks after Horoscope Review exposed "Zoradamus" as a robot and told the whole Internet not to take her bait.
What's an "oxalis"? It's the botanical name for the shamrock, traditionally a lucky token. If you get emails from "Germaine Solliel," or "N. Zora," delete them before opening.

Thank you, Ms. Zen. Zoradamus must be getting very desperate for customers.
And to think i was minutes away from giving her my money. I thought it was too good to be true. I had my doubts. So then everything is a fake.
Always, before buying services, Google the name of any psychic or astrologer and look for complaints, reviews, or recommendations.
But believe me, obtaining nice letter with words of sympathy, is sometimes very inspiring and helpful if U are desperate in life. So do not hesitate to pay nice boys who are working hard making that server with helpful scripts, sent to U.
Oh, xass....the people paying Zoradamus are paying for what they hope are psychic readings, not paying nice boys working hard on servers. If you work on "her" servers let "her" pay you.
hi im from bs as argentina the same mail to my!!!
other think is many thinks are hapen to my and i dont now why ... spiritual thinks
i've just received a email from a lady called, N.Zora from the email sender@oxalismail.com . saying: your (my name and birthday)..
If you're indeed the person I'm looking for then I invite you to visit my website without delay as I'd like to give you your free clairvoyance.
I have personal and confidential revelations for you.
it goes on saying. why i should etc. now if she could actually say something to me that noone else could know then i might believe her. something that isn't on a profile etc. anyway i guessing this may be the same lady? maybe.????
Yes, it is the same robot, now calling itself N. Zora because the above article exposed the misuse of a dead astrologer's name, and I also personally emailed the company expressing outrage.
Hi Sylvia, I'm new to your Hub and it makes for interesting reading. In the past I have also received emails from these fakes, so obvious that I have just deleted them, but they must make millions from those who are desperate. Can you recommend some genuine psychic's or astrologer's for us?
Genuine psychics are extremely rare, one in a hundred million, and do not advertise on the Net -- or anywhere else. Think: How could one individual carefully and responsibly handle hundreds of requests for readings every day, 24/7/365? It is not humanly possible! Even a dozen a day would be pushing it. If you call a psychic hotline the readings are legally "for entertainment only," and only you can decide whether it's entertainment that you want. However, there are genuine astrologers who have websites or write columns, and will do personal, customized readings, and I list some in an article titled "Get Real Answers from Real Astrologers for $10 and Up." http://sylviasky.hubpages.com/hub/RealAnswersFromR
That's not a complete list either, but it's a start. Customized personal readings are like customized anything: They don't come cheap. Good astrologers are trained, experienced professionals and are worth what they charge.
Just thought I would let you know that I'm located in Canada and these emails are being sent here as well. I have been receiving them for some time and am not fooled by these types of solicitation.
Always be wary of someone contacting you online to offer you something "free"
My email came from "Zora", no "N", saying the same things, my full name and date of birth. This is the first and i guess there ll be more of them.
Sylvia, This woman seems to be scamming worldwide. The best thing to do is for somebody to report her to INTERPOL for fraud and identidy theft. She needs to be stopped now.
Thank you. I agree the scam should be shut down.
She sent me a posting saying she knew so much about me ! And she wanted to help me , but now the emails she sends are turning nasty . I get emails from her every other day ; I told her I wasn't money solven . So she's lowered it to £ 79:00 .
This is the email she sent me for corrisponance !
Zora@safeemailing.com
I sent an email to tell her I wasn't money solven , her next reply was to lower it from £139:00 to £79:00. This should be stop because the email get nasty if you don't reply !
will her emails soon go away???
there really starting to look bad from the comments i read and i dont really want to reply back!!!
HELP!
Do not open Zoradamus' emails. That lets "her" know you're a live person and curious. When you see them in your inbox, delete them. Or mark them as spam. Use the block function of your email to block emails coming from her dot.com.
I've so far received around 5, maybe more, e-mails from 'Zora'. Her latest one was my favourite yet as she states
"Last night I was watching a report on television about children who work at the bottom of mines. I said to myself that in 2010 it’s very unfortunate to still see such practices due to destitution".
She must be speaking to me from the past as I see no other explanation to why she thinks it's still 2010 :P As always, I keep ignoring her, but it is starting to get irritating just how mean she's becoming :/
I started receiving her emails too, telling me she "just doesn't understand me"!!! I laugh at how frustrated she is with me for not responding back to her by ordering my free confidential clairvoyance!!!
Sono rimasto fregato anch,io ma per una volta ho mandato15 euro speranzoso in una risposta ma evidentemente è una frode bella e buona per gli increduloni come me . Fa niente io per 14 15 euro sono sempre lo stesso ma chi fa questo e ancora piu meschino dei soldi ....... IMBROGLIONI
Software translation of the Italian: "I have been swindled [like] you too, I but for once I sent 15 euros hopeful for a response but it is clearly a fraud beautiful and good for the unbelievers like me. I got nothing for 14 15 euro. Always the same, but who does this and even more petty money...CHEATERS"

It never ceases to disgust me what some people will do to make money. How do they sleep at night? Thanks for exposing this, Ms. Sylvia.
Voted up, useful and interesting.
