SGPI - Scientific SGPI - Scientific Games Processing -Vicktor Wood - Paul Blake ripoff sweepstakes scam St Thomas Nationwide
It all started with a letter. A letter in my husbands name sent to our NEW address ( we recently moved in) this letter was from SGPI ( Scientific Games Processing Inc.) This letter states that my husband was drawn from a random internet ballot system and he won, 50 thousand dollars. it says these names were given from Readers Digest, Publishers clearinghouse, Computer games, and other sweepstakes data base.
They also sent a check, a check from the HSBC ( this is a real bank!)The check was real, signed,dated, and paid to my husband for 2950.00 dollars. were really skeptical of scams so we talked about it and were like why would they sent a check if its a scam? we dint understand.
I followed the directions of the letter. I was to call Mr. Vicktor Woods who was our "claims agent" so i called....for hours i tried calling and kept getting a recording ( let me point out our letter said Mr. Vicktor WoodS, but when i called it said "vicktor wood,sorry no more room to record messages. i caught that instantly...woudltn the answering machin say WOODS and not WOOD like our letter??)
i finally got an answer on the phone and he answered and said he was Mr. Paul Blake and that mr. woods was out of the office for the afternoon and he asked if he could help me, i told him who i was and he was surprised " oh our 50 thousand dollar winners!!" he told me he had authroized the check that was mailed for 2950.00 but that i had to deposit it, within the hour, to my bank and that money would cover all the fee's and taxes for us to recieve our 50 thousand. so off to the bank i went where the told me about a similar letter they have recieved and told me what happened to another customer of their bank. This person deposited the check and waited for the call from his "claims agent" when he went to his bank it was empty. when he deposited the check the "scammers" got that money back plus they cleared out his entire savings!!! DO NOT FALL FOR THIS SCAM!!! I LUCKILY WAS WARNED EARLY INTO THIS PROCESS!!!
