Warning! Internet fraudsters posing as SSVP!
It has been brought to our attention that a group of people claiming to represent the Society of St Vincent de Paul are approaching members of the public in the US in an attempt to solicit illegal funds. They claim to work for the St Vincent de Paul Orphanage in the UK which does not exist.
