I have recieved a letter and a check from " Bonanza 2000 " saying that I won a lottery . Can you help me whit this ? Is this for real ? What would happen if I deposited or cashed this check ?
2006-06-04 03:06:23 -
MICHELLE, THEY PUT A STOP PAYMENT ON MY CHECK. DUE TO A PERSON SUPPOSEDLY TRYING TO CASH IN ON SOMEONE ELSES "WINNINGS". DONT DO IT!!!!!
2006-06-04 00:40:43 -
I received a check similar to everyone else. Mine says "Swiss Lott" and says the check is fromUnited States Steel Corp which is apparently a real corp. I don't understand how one person here actually put their check in the bank. I would like to know what happened.
I would expect the check would eventually bounce and that meanwhile you would have western unioned the money out. Or are they finding ways to launder money from legit companies via supposed winners? How does this work?

I received a letter today from British International Lotto with a check enclosed for $1990.00 but the check is from LGM Escrow Services. To me it doesn't feel right because I know that I have never entered any lottery. The letter states A tax and clearance fee of $1990.00 has been financed with the enclosed check, kindly deposit or cash the check to pay for your tax and clearance fee.I would receive a toal of $63010.00 minus $1990.00 for the tax. To call my agent in the name of Richard Lakewood of Equity Financial Company, Subsidiary of British Lotto Corp., 48 Melwood Ave Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada B3H 1A1. Tel: 1-902-412-2803. Scam or what?

I would like to thank all of the post on this bonanza 2000 Australian Lottery Scam. My wife just recieved the very same letter and check in the ammount of $2,995.00 dollars US. the other day and being straped for cash, I questioned it myself. After doing a few searches on parts of the letter came across this Discussion.. Now the check and letter has been turned into mulch... Thank you all so much and My heartfelt thoughts to those who have fallen for this Scam... Thanks again

I took it a step further and wrote to the company listed on the check!

Dear Ms. Miracle,
I am writing to inform you that I received a check in the mail this week from your organization. The check is dated May 24, 2006 in the amount of $2995.25.
After researching the check's origin, I came upon your website and your contact information.
Pardon my ignorance, but it seams a bit odd to me that an oil company with which I have absolutely no association is sending me money out of the blue.
What distresses me more is the seemingly fraudulent letter (BONANZA 2000 Australian International Lotto Certificate of Award) it came with explaining it's purpose. (The grammar leaves a bit to be desired!) According to the letter, this is an assistance check to enable the financing of the international clearance fees for the "prize."
I don't want to be rude, but I did see the Judge Judy case about a similar incident, so I am highly skeptical. The address on the check is Bridgeport WV, with the postmark being from Canada.....Something just isn't right here.
If you could help clear everything up, I would greatly appreciate it. If nothing else it was certainly fun to see my name on a check with that much money!
Thank you for your time,
Laura M. Porras
