  1. BEST POWERFUL AND CHEAP LOVE SPELL CASTER DR JUMBA

    This is my testimony about the good work of a man who helped me..I base in US .My life is back!!! After 8 years of marriage, my husband left me and left me with our three kids. I felt like my life was about to end, and was falling apart. Thanks to a spell caster called Dr jumba who i met online . On one faithful day, as I was browsing through the internet, I was searching for a good spell caster that can solve my problems. I came across testimonies about this particular spell caster on https://manifest277.blogspot.com  and on  other website  . Some people testified that he brought their Ex lover back, some testified that he restores womb, some testified that he can cast a spell to stop divorce and so on. There was one particular testimony I saw, it was about a woman called grace,she testified about how Dr jumba brought back her Ex lover in less than 48 hours and at the end of her testimony she drop his email. After reading ,I decided to give Dr jumba a try and i got a perfect spell done for me . I contacted him on wiccalovespelltools@gmail.com , wiccalovespelltools@yahoo.com or call his mobile number on +19085174108    and indeed he restored my marriage and am so grateful.

    When I came online last year, I saw a testimony about Doctor ODUNGA and how he has been helping people with marriage issues and I decided to contact him. We spoke on email at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com and later he gave me his WhatsApp number which is +2348167159012. He assured me he would help me get my ex husband back after 3 years of no contact. Doctor Odunga is the best spell caster I must say. My husband called me after 24 hours of contact. The third day, I received natural herbs for fertility and after using it, I became fertile and conceived. I and my husband reconnected, had sex and I was pregnant.

  4. I was married for 16 years to a loving mother and wife. We had 2 children together who are now 11 & 13. I reconnected with an old girlfriend from college on Facebook and we began an affair and I left my wife. The woman I had an affair with is a wonderful woman and I love her too and our kids had begun accepting the situation and my wife has kind of moved on, but not in love with the man she is seeing. I thought I fell out of love with my wife and I felt terrible about what I did to her - she is a good woman and I don't know what came over me. I decided to try and get her back and I was recommended to Lord Zakuza for help to get reunited with my wife and within 48 hours after I made contact with Lord Zakuza my wife decided to work things out with me and now we are back together with our children living as one happy family... I really don't know the words to use in appreciation of what Lord Zakuza did for me but I will say thank you sir for reuniting I and my family back. For those in trying times with their marriages or relationship can WhatsApp Lord Zakuza for help or text with this number +1 740-573-9483 or you can send him an email to Lordzakuza7@gmail.com

  14. My lesbian partner is an active member of a LGBTQ group over here in Norway, in their forum she met a gay guy who sweet talked her into being friends, I wasn't healthy about their friendship but I trust my partner. With time she started making promises to me on how she will spoil me silly witih luxuries and vacations around the world. I was surprised because she is just a nurse in a private health facility, after much persuading, she confessed to me that her new friend introduced her to ways she can make quick money within 5-7 days by bitcoin and other cryptocurrency and she has already invested her retirement funds upto 48,000 euro. I was really disappointed in her for not telling me before making such moves however i understand she was doing it for the betterment of us both and i can never get angry at my partner because i love her so much. We decided to find ways to get the money back, we reached out to couple of hackers and they were not able to help us. Fortunately, we finally found IT programmer who was able to hack and recover my partner's bitcoins in hours. The hackers contacts are (CYBERGENIEINTERCONTINENTAL@PROTON.ME)(WhatsAPP +1 (252)512-0391) I am posting this article here as a goodwill of my heart to help make the world a better and safe place from those dubious scammers.
