The Fraudulent Mediums Act is a law enacted in the United Kingdom in 1951. It aims to prevent individuals from exploiting others through fraudulent practices related to spiritualism and mediumship. The act makes it illegal for anyone to claim they can communicate with the dead or possess supernatural abilities for financial gain, ensuring that vulnerable individuals are protected from deception. Under this act, those found guilty of fraudulent practices can face legal consequences, including fines or imprisonment. The law reflects society's concern about the potential for exploitation in the realm of spiritualism and emphasizes the importance of ethical conduct in such practices.
