I was advised to come to this site because of my problem. I was told that I might be able to get help here. I had an account with SIA for about a year and a half. I never made a withdrawal but did fairly well with them. They then e-mailed me that my account was closed because of excessive winnings. I then contacted them about collecting my winnings. They said that I had to go through several steps to collect. They first asked my social security number. I was hesitant but I provided this to them. They then asked me a couple of questions about addresses that I had ever been involved with. I did not know any of them as I have lived at the same address for forty years. They then listed several vehicles to see if I knew any of them. I thought that I might have co-signed on one of them for my son but was not sure as he lives with his mother. They then said that I failed the test.
They then transferred me to the security department. They wanted me to send them a copy of my driver's license and my social security card. I did not want to do this but I also wanted my money so I complied. They then wanted me to send them two utility bills showing the same address as listed on my account and I sent it to them. After that, they refused to talk to me for about a month.
They then said that they would not pay me because there was another account that bet on some of the same games as me around the same time. I asked them to clarify and the provided me the account name of my best friend. They said this was also my account and I was trying to get around the betting amount limit. They had already closed my friend's account and sent him his money. He had to send them all of his personal information to show who he was and it was accepted and he was paid. Even though he sent the info and they acknowledged proof of who he was, they now say that I am him even though I have also provided the proof of who I am. I cannot believe this.
Yes, we bet on some of the same teams when we got together to watch games at his house. We also bet on different games on most visits. I made most of my wagers from his house because I do not have a computer and we watch all of the games together. When he was not home, I went to the college library close to me to make my plays. Most times we agreed on who we wanted to wager on. Our combined bets would only be $1000. We surely are not a wagering cartel and this surely is not a break the bank amount.
My friend proved who he was and I proved who I am. They have simply sat for a month and come up with any excuse that they can think of not to pay me. If this was a problem, why did they accept our wagers for a year and a half and then say they were not going to pay me?
If there is any help that I can get then I would greatly appreciate it.
