I've seen first hand the damage a medium can do, and not just financially. I have a friend whose life is basically over because they are unable to properly grieve over the loss of a loved one. The medium perpetuates the idea that she is "still here", and this causes her to obsess over it, as she is encouraged to do. It's revolting. The medium tells her what her loved one "wants" and so on.
Obviously my friend is very gullible, but the law should protect people from such obvious harmful cons.

Big business is a major culprit also.
As I joked before about cosmetic creams, the reason they are sold as cosmetics and not legit pharmaceutical products is because the manufacturers know their products will fail testing as advertised by the relevant legal agencies. Most have an active ingredient of false hope.
