Since the editorial office of "Maurizio Costanzo Shop" invited us for the umpteenth time to take part in its rubbish-show and since we refused for the umpteenth time, we publish - following a mail that reached us from their offices - our answer: that clarify once for all the position of Telefono Antiplagio towards the little man with moustache and his bootlickers of his.
We don't lend ourself to the exploitation of the quacks victims by unscrupulous people, whose only purpose is to make audience/money.

Good reading.

THE INVITATION-LETTER of "COSTANZO SHOP" (on the quacks' side)

> Hello, I am writing from the Maurizio Costanzo editorial staff.
We are preparing an instalment in which we will talk about victims of various plagiarisms. We would like to ask your help to find some cases of people escaped from the influence of magicians or sects and willing to tell their story. The purpose is to alert people about the danger of these situations.
You can contact me at 06-367...

Thanks you,
Alice Cerruti.

Our Answer (on the citizens' side)

>> Dear Mrs., unfortunately we cannot help you.
We have been invited other times by your editorial staff, but we never wanted to intervene: because Mr. Costanzo first give space to quacks - I remind you of the Bambini di Satana, the kidnapper-guru Gabriel Basmagj and Otelma - advertising them (with the excuse of making fun of them: as though he did not know that the biggest quack of Italy decuplicated his deceptions and fiscal tricks thanks to him), then you ask us the victims of your "nice friends". You will excuse me, but this look a little schizophrenic to me (if not worse).
We would be ready to intervene in Maurizio Costanzo Show only in a neutral field and, above all, in live broadcast. Mr. Costanzo being powerful with the weaks and weak with the powerfuls does not tempt us to put him side by side with the weaks par excellence, the spiritual usury that the state and the "media" keep on forgetting and not helping... or abusing only to collect audience, besides showing that they are idiot.
You may want to alert them about Costanzo himself?

I remember you that in Italy the job of "magician" is forbidden by law.
But, evidently, none cares about example and education, included Maurizio Costanzo. I am sorry.

I would like it to show the present letter also to Mr. Costanzo: don't be scared.

I thank you for writing us.
