PUBLIC WARNING: SportyBet Code Scam on Telegram — Beware of “MR THOMPSON VIRTUAL GAMES”

Nigerians are advised to exercise caution when dealing with Telegram channels selling SportyBet codes, VIP betting predictions and alleged winning tickets.

A public warning is being raised about a Telegram channel known as MR THOMPSON VIRTUAL GAMES, which has been accused of collecting money from prospective customers without delivering the promised SportyBet codes.

According to the account provided for this report, the alleged scheme involves collecting ₦45,000 from a customer for a SportyBet code and subsequently demanding an additional ₦300,000 for a supposed VVIP code when the customer requests the original service. The allegation is that customers may ultimately receive no code despite making payments.

These claims require independent investigation, and anyone who has had a similar experience is encouraged to preserve their evidence and report it to the appropriate authorities.

How the Alleged SportyBet Code Scam Works

The reported pattern is as follows:

1. A prospective customer comes across the MR THOMPSON VIRTUAL GAMES Telegram channel.
2. The customer is asked to pay ₦45,000 for a SportyBet code.
3. When the customer requests the promised code, an additional payment of ₦300,000 is allegedly demanded for a VVIP code.
4. According to the complaint, the promised code is not delivered, and the customer may subsequently lose contact with the seller or be blocked.

Anyone encountering this payment pattern should exercise extreme caution. Do not send additional money simply because someone claims that a more expensive VIP or VVIP package is required to unlock a previous purchase.

Allegations of Fake Testimonials and Winning Tickets

Another concern raised in the report is the alleged use of fabricated testimonials, winning betting tickets, videos and voice notes to create an impression of legitimacy.

The channel is also alleged to feature photographs of a man and his family that may not represent the actual person operating the service.

There are further allegations that several accounts work together to post positive testimonials and send convincing messages to prospective customers.

If these allegations are accurate, such tactics could make it difficult for inexperienced bettors to distinguish genuine customer experiences from manufactured social proof.

Important: A Telegram channel's subscriber count, winning-ticket screenshots, voice notes and video testimonials are not proof that a betting-code seller is trustworthy. Screenshots can be manipulated, and testimonials can be fabricated or coordinated.

Details Provided for Public Identification

The following details were supplied in connection with the allegations. They have not been independently verified for this article.

- Telegram channel: MR THOMPSON VIRTUAL GAMES
- Reported subscriber count: Approximately 7,898 at the time of the original report
- Reported phone number: 08065260703

The following bank-account details were also supplied in the complaint:

Account 1

- Bank: MOMO PSB
- Account number: 0928864819
- Account name: GOODNEWS OKON

Account 2

- Bank: PalmPay
- Account number: 8149829715
- Account name: FELIX JOHN

The appearance of these account details in this report does not establish who controls the accounts, whether the named individuals are responsible for the alleged conduct, or whether the accounts were used with their knowledge. Those questions should be established through a proper investigation.

Anyone who believes they have been affected should retain payment receipts and provide the information to their bank and the relevant authorities.

What Should You Do If You Have Already Paid?

If you have transferred money for a SportyBet code and the seller has failed to deliver, take the following steps:

1. Save all evidence. Keep payment receipts, transaction reference numbers, Telegram messages, voice notes, screenshots, the channel link and any promises made by the seller.
2. Contact your bank or payment provider immediately. Report the transaction as a suspected scam and ask whether a recall, dispute or account investigation is possible. Recovery is not guaranteed.
3. Report the Telegram channel. Use Telegram's in-app reporting tools and provide the relevant messages and evidence.
4. Report the matter in Nigeria. Consider contacting the Nigeria Police Force, the appropriate cybercrime unit, or the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), depending on the circumstances.
5. Avoid further payments. Do not pay extra charges for VVIP access, refunds, account unlocking or supposed recovery services without independently verifying their legitimacy.
6. Warn others responsibly. Share verifiable information and evidence, but avoid threats, harassment, publishing private information unrelated to the complaint, or confronting anyone physically.

If several people have experienced the same pattern, their separate receipts and conversations may help investigators establish whether there is a wider pattern of fraudulent activity.

A Warning to Nigerians on Nairaland

People searching online for SportyBet sure codes, fixed matches, VIP betting codes, football predictions and Telegram betting groups should be particularly careful about sellers who demand large advance payments and then introduce increasingly expensive packages.

No screenshot or testimonial can guarantee a winning bet. Never risk money you cannot afford to lose, and do not assume that a large Telegram following means a seller has been independently vetted.

Anyone with first-hand evidence involving MR THOMPSON VIRTUAL GAMES is encouraged to document their experience and report it through the appropriate channels. If you post a comment, distinguish what you personally experienced from information you heard from someone else.

The objective is to protect potential victims, preserve evidence and ensure that credible complaints are investigated through lawful means.

If you have dealt with this channel, did you receive the SportyBet code you paid for? Share your experience and any verifiable evidence responsibly so others can make informed decisions.

Muslims hate black people and refer to them as abd meaning slave. Stay away from Islam

Guns need to be legalised so that we can use it on Killer Fulani Terrorists

APC. = Animalistic Peckerhead Criminals

Matheusmartin:

Its hidden history about the so called prophet mohammed the king of terrorists

flames01:
Google is your friend, Mr Islamic terrorist.

And you too should tell us who wrote the Quran . Is it an angel? I hope Mohammed didn't rape the angel the same way he raped his son's wife ?

. mohammed piss be upon him was the first terrorist who deceived his gullible followers into his religion of piss and violence. Islam has the record of being the most violent religion through out history. How their followers enjoy killing and bloodshed is amazing.

flames01:
You quote the Bible and even copied the Bible as part of your Quran (yeah, Mohammed lied to you that Quran came from an angel; he copied most of it from the Bible) yet, you don't believe the Bible. Doesn't that make you a home grown hypocrite?

You believe in Jesus in Islam, yet you don't believe in what Jesus said about himself. Then what are you believing if not emptiness?

Islam is the greatest deception ever made

Matheusmartin:
..
Do Muslim And Christian worship the same God??

Christians and Muslims don't worship the same God.

Amumaigwe:
The religion of terrorists has no place in igbo land. Biafra is the ultimate neutralizer.

IN FUTURE IT WILL BE DEMOLISHED. THE COMING OF BIAFRA WILL CHANGE A LOT OF THINGS IN THE EAST. WE CAN NEVER ALLOW A RELIGION OF TERRORISTS FLORISH IN THE EAST.

Foolishness of the highest order

Wartsnigeria:
So now everybody that died is as a result of covid 419 scam.

THIS is what i have been saying to people but ignorant folks keep calling me a conspiracy theorists. Covid_19 is the biggest scam of the century. All those Covid-19 deaths are not as a result of Covid_19. According to an American doctor, dr rashid butter (You can check him out on YouTube) he said someone died of a motorbike accident earlier this year, on his death certificate was written : Cause Of Death : Corona Virus. Also there are videos on YouTube where Some doctors confessed that so many doctors are being bribed, blackmailed or threatened to put Covid_19 as the cause of death on the certificate of anybody that dies this period.. This whole agenda is all about control and the sales of their poisonous Covid-19 vaccines. I pray YouTube does not take down those videos

Even if another thing killed him, they will tell us its Covid

Yes, wrapping yourself like a gift is father shrikmass.

Our women wear their garments and veils, they don't wrap them.

Even exposing the eyes is a sin. How can Muslim women cover up to their eyes in black hijab in this African sun. Una dey make me shake my head.

Ok
