Scam Description
THE SCAMMER AKA BECKETT GROUP (CEO TOM BECKETT). SENT ME A LETTER LETTING ME KNOW THAT
I COULD EARN FROM $40,000 TO $51,950 IN 5 – 6 WEEKS. WITHOUT PAYING FOR LEADS AND ONLY PAYING
10 CENTS FOR POSTAGE! A BUSINESS PLAN CALLED THE GREEN PLAN. THE OTHER PLAN IS CALLED THE
BLUE PLAN, WHICH OFFERS A LESSER AMOUNT A PERSON COULD EARN. THIS PLAN STATES THAT A
PERSON COULD EARN $16,000 TO $ 18,950 IN 5-6 WEEKS. BOTH PLANS OFFER TO SEND 2,500 FLYERS IN
MY BEHALF, IF I PAY A FEE INTO THE PLAN OF MY CHOICE. ALSO, I WAS GIVEN THE OPTION TO BUY MORE FLYERS TO BE SENT OUT IN MY BEHALF. THE AMOUNT WAS $350.00 FOR 2,500 FLYERS MORE. ALL
TOGETHER IT WOULD BE 5,000 FLYERS SENT OUT IN MY BEHALF. I BOUGHT INTO THE GREEN PLAN ON JANUARY 20 OF THIS YEAR AND SENT $15.00 TO THE CEO TOM BECKETT TO JOIN THE GREEN PLAN.
ALSO, I SENT $350.00 TO THE CEO TOM BECKETT IN HIGHLAND, INDIANA. AND I SENT $50.00 TO MY REFERRER (BARBARA ELLIS IN EVERGREEN PARK, ILL) THE TOTAL COST WAS $415.00 PLUS POSTAL
PRIORITY MAIL DELIVERY FEE OF $19.80. AT THE POST OFFICE I WAS TOLD THAT MY LETTER WAS
GOING TO CEO TOM BECKETT AND WOULD BE DELIVERED ON 1/21/23 AND IT WAS. ALSO, I WAS TOLD
THAT MY LETTER GOING TO BARBARA ELLIS WOULD BE DELIVERED ON 1/23/23 AND IT WAS. SO. IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS I CHECK MY MAILBOX AND FOUND NO MONEY COMING IN TO ME WHATSOEVER. SO, I DECIDED
TO CALL THE BUSINESS PHONE NUMBER WHICH IS (725) 867-1055 IN NEVADA, TO INQUIRE ABOUT MY INVESTMENT INTO THE BUSINESS, .AND WHEN I CALLED THERE WAS A RECORED MESSAGE. WHICH HAD
3 OPTIONS FOR ME TO OPT IN. THE FIRST OPTION WAS FOR ME TO LEAVE MY TRACKING NUMBER TO LET
THE COMPANY KNOW THAT MY ORDER HAS BEEN SENT TO THERE COMPANY. AND WHEN THE COMPANY KNOWS THIS, THEY CAN START THE PROCESS MY ORDER AND SEND OUT THE BUSINESS FLYERS IN MY BEHALF. ALSO, I WAS ASK TO GIVE MORE INFORMATION ETC…. OPTION 2 WAS ALL ABOUT MOST ASKED QUESTIONS & ANSWERS ABOUT THE BUSINESS. OPTION 3 WAS AN OPTION WHERE I COULD SPEAK TO A CUSTOMER SERVICE AGENT. BUT NEVER DID THE ONLY THING I HEARD WAS A RECORDING THAT SAID ALL AGENTS ARE BUSY AT THE MOMENT. SO, I WAITED ON THE PHONE LISTENING TO THERE MUSIC AFTER 15 MINUTES I WAS TOLD BY THE RECORDING ALL AGENTS ARE BUSY. PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE AND AN CUSTOMER AGENT WILL GET BACK WITH YOU ASAP. I LEFT A MESSAGE SEVERAL TIMES NOT ON THE SAME
DAY OF COURSE. THE MESSAGE I LEFT WAS THAT I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME ABOUT
THE BUSINESS AND NO ONE NEVER DID.
