Got a letter in the mail on September 12, 2006 from Bonanza 2000 British Random Draws. It states that I have won 85,500 USD from s lottery in London England that I never entered. Along with this letter that states not to give out certain information I recieved a check for 2,996.85 USD. This check is suppose to be an assistance check to enable me to finance the international clearance fees of 2,945.40 USD. At the bottom of the letter I to begin my claim I am to contact an agent Donna Williams, of Gateway Finacial Management Services at 45 Gordon Street., Suite 202 Edmonton, AB 1T8 4H6, a supposed accredited Agency to the British Tandom Lotto at 1-780-695-4380. In the letter is also states I need to call them before September 18, 2006 for the Activation and Authorisation of my check. Now this said I called and they did not even ask who I was or what I was calling about and when I said that I needed the check to be Activated and Authorized they said it was all ready. I went to US Bank the bank that is suppose to be assocated with the company that the check was from (Mercer Industries Inc. at 10760 W. Denney Road, Beaverton, OR 97008) knowing that if they would not cash it there was a reason for it. I went into the lobby and the teller looked at the check and proceeded to cash it but then stopped and when to her manager. She returned with her manager and the manager told me that the check was not Authorized and they could not cash it. I then called the number above and told the them that the check was not Authorized and he told me that they were having a problem with some banks not cashing them and I was to go to a different bank and cash it and call him back. Well I went to 4 different banks for grins and then called him back and told him the refussed to cash the check. The guy on the other line got very hostal and told me that if I have the funds in my own account that I should just take it out of my own money. At this I told him what I recently uncovered about why the check will not clear. I found out that if it clears and you send the money you are now HELPING to FUND TERRORISM that is what this scam is about. They are tring to go through our banks and get the funds and make it look legal. They are using you so if you can cash the check KEEP THE MONEY!!!!! DO NOT SEND THIS MONEY OUT!!!!!!!!! I found out this info through friends of mine that are in Law inforcement.

i just recieved a check from olgc financial for 4,975 i was so intrigued by the check but then i checked the internet and lo behold its a scam but im wondering if you cash it at a currency exchange would they give you the money (minus the big percentage they will take away) and what would happen?
2006-09-14 18:43:13 -
If you recieve a letter from Bonanza 2000 British lotto. take your check to the back and have them fax the company that is on the check along with the letter you recieved so they can report the fraud to the goverment. I did this with my bank and those who are the scammers are going to be in trouble with the government. Don't cash the check have you bank notify the company of this fraud. It's not a real check.

I have also recieved a letter from Bonanza 2000 British Random Drawstating , as the others, that i've won $85,5000 minus $5,301 and i'll be recieving $80,199.

I'v went through about 45 comments and including mine there are 17 letters sent out.I called "Gateway Financial", and "Pamela Anderson" said hello, not helo you've reached Gateway fibabcial, but hello. Anyways she asked was it my first time calling, and i said yes, she said o.k can you call back in 15 minutes, when i did someone else answered the phone and ii asked who was i calling she stated her name, i asked can i speak to pamela and she said she was on a lunch break.I asked the lady was this a company and she said yes, so i asked her the name and she said gateway financial, but i'm still skeptical.Oh and I live in florida don't have a bank account ans the only commerce banks are in kansas. Missouri, and Illinois, so how in the hell am i suppose to cash a check thats out of state and don't have a bank account.
