DONT DO IT! IT IS A SCAM, ALSO CONTACT YOUR LOCAL POST MASTER GENERAL AT THE POST OFFICE IN YOUR CITY/STATE, BECAUSE THIS IS ALSO "MAIL FRAUD"

MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS THOUROUGHLY!!!!! I also recieved a letter and a check from Bonanza 2000. I contacted the number on the phone forwarded to a "Tony Smith" who said I didn't have to give any account info. Just to verify my address and deposit the check immediately. He refused to give his Federal Tax ID number and any other information about himself. I then contacted the bank office from where the check was issued; they stated that this is a scam. that what will happen is when the check is deposited, the check WILL clear, however- the company which addresses the check will more than likely file a complaint (since they never authorized the funds to be distributed). Thus, leaving the bank minus the $2998.00 (or whatever your amount was for) and charging you for the amount that was owed. To make a long story short, they use you to clear funds from someone's account, take the money out of your account, keep the money, give you nothing, and disappear- leaving you owing the amount you though you were blessed with. Well, I spoke with the bank's investigator who stated that this can and probably should be reported to www.IC3.gov.

Thank you for listening. Best wishes and GOD bless.

Just received a check in Georgia, USA from the OLGC, Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corporation, has an Ontario address on the right side of the letterhead and is signed by Michael Anderson, Promotion Manager. The check is drawn on United Community Bank out of Highland Village, TX - and it is from the forementioned Stacy Clarke & Michael Anderson in the amount of $975.00 - supposedly these funds will help pay the taxes on the almost $10,000 winning. On the surface the check looks legit however there are specific instructions in the letter not to cash it until you contact them via phone 1-705-770-0445 - left a message for a female & the claim number and a brief message about my skepticism - haven't heard back from them. Incidentally neither I, nor anyone I know, has bought an Ontario lottery ticket! I am guessing that if you deposit the check it will be canceled and what they are looking for is your BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER! They do this with the elderly, shame on them, alot! They get bank numbers via the phone so they can DEPOSIT money, but in actuality they WITHDRAW money - also they mentioned they tried to contact me several times - I'm betting it was in my bulk mailbox which I delete without opening, i.e. spam or unsolicited mail. A family member told me to take it into the bank today to have them look at it - it would be great to catch these criminals! I am concerned that these folks have managed to hack something to gain at least some info on folks who perhaps may have requested money, looked for a job or something of the sort via the web - I recently posted a resume. The "double-edged," sword called the world wide web! Cyber criminals arise - hope they start nabbing these folks! Be careful what you info you put out there folks - have learned my lesson, thank God not out of my pocket!

I received a check for $4900 0n 9/5/06. I did'nt believe for one moment that I had won a drawing of any kind...Needless to say I tore the check up and tossed it in the garbage. Definitely a SCAM!!!!

I also received a check for $975 from OLGC. I think it must be a scam. The United Community bank does not even exist at the TX address on the check.

I received a bank check drawn on North Fork Bank today. The business it was drawn on is Eastway Aviation LLC. The letter with it claims I som the switzerland lottery. This is part of the switzerland international lottery program. The letter claims I won it as I previously signed up for the North American Sweepstakes and that was part of their international promotions program. Could this be true?
