Bonanza is a scam. Call the police and call your friends. These people need to suffer! Do your part in busting them. Some people should be tortured and then pissed on. I hope they burn in hell ( god forgive me).

It's a scam!!! everyone needs to list their agents phone number and name so we can harasse them. hopefully I will be on the phone with one of them when the Feds bust the door down and drag their ass to jail.

My wife received a letter from bonanza 2000 from the Australian internationallotto with a check for 2995.25 check looks real enough.Got to be bogus cant you just sign the check and send it back to them for the taxes
2006-06-01 20:42:33 -
Is this a scam or its true, how come you can cash a almost $3,000.00 check under your name ans send it back again anyway doesn't hurt trying so at last that money doen not belong to you.

I recieved a letter from OLGC claiming I am a winner of 250.000 from the North-American/European Sweepstakes Lottery, They sent me a check of $4,975.00 to cash and then send them $2,800. in money gram.for taxes. I thought the IRS will want the taxes, not them. besides the check they sent me was deducted from my winnings......I didnt tell them they could do that.....WHATS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE!!!!
2006-06-01 19:52:55 -
Bonanza 2000 is not real. Throw it away. My bank didn't cash the check so I din't get to far worse off than I already was. Just got behind on a few bills thinking about money that wasn't mine in the first place.
2006-06-01 19:14:13 -

My husband and I are victims of the Bonanza 2000 scam!
Here is the letter my husband wrote today.
I want to tell you a true story about fraud in America. This is a true story; I would never make up a story like this it is just too embarrassing. Late last month (May 06) my wife and I received the attached letter. It stated that I was the winner of an international lottery. Enclosed with the letter was a check for almost $2900.00.
As you can see in the letter we were instructed to call a number to activate the account and begin the process to receive a lottery win worth $85,500.00. We would just need to use the check to cover the international clearance fees. To do this we would simply cash the check and use the money to send a money gram transfer for $2,828.00. The total cost of the money gram’s fees was 56.56, for a combined total of $2884.56.
Let me explain what had been happening in my left just before this “Godsend” came in the mail. About 4 weeks before this our 2001 Dodge Intrepid with only 78000 miles on it died completely. Our mechanic said that this happens all the time with the 2.7L engines they were using at the time and the quote he gave to replace the engine was for about $4,700.00. We still owe over $8,500.00 on the car.
We are lower middle class Americans we do not have that kind of money to spare. We are still paying medical bills from the birth of our daughter in Dec 2004. We are still paying for the move across country from Nevada to Tennessee we made in the summer of 2004. We just purchased our first home, through HUD financing. So, as you can imagine my wife and I viewed this through the eyes of the hopeful.
This money would have helped us resolve all the money troubles we were having and pay for our baby girl's college and anything else that she would need. So, since the check looked legitimate (it was a Wells Fargo check) we took it to our credit union and cashed it to begin the process.
A week goes by, and the check has cleared. We go through the steps needed to send the money to the contact we were given. I then call our contact and give her the confirmation number. Within hours the money has already been picked up.
Fast-forward 24 hours. Our bank account is on hold because the check that looked authentic was actually counterfeit. We are now far worse off than we were with just the car in the shop. We now have our direct deposit money being held to pay for all the money that was taken out. I am scrambling to find a way for my family to get through this, calling my friends that, when I lived in Las Vegas, use to come to me for money to borrow the money my family needs to survive.
This story needs to be told to everyone in America. In this time of trouble everyone needs to be aware more than ever that “if it sounds to good to be true it most likely is”.
Sincerely,
James Lee Buchanan

I RECEIVED A CHECK FOR 2993.95 WHEN I CALL STEVEN JONES I GET A ANSWER MACHINE.

I was sent this letter saying I won the lottery. I was initially skeptical, but they assured me this was legit. I mean they told me my only obligation for winning, was to be in their commercial! After the money gram was sent, I was even provided a tax id #, as well as barge #s to identify the people who were to deliver my check! That was the other reason I thought this was ok, because normally, people ask for your account info; they gave you a choice of which would be better for you. Now every time I call, the line is ALWAYS busy, and the person they claim I need to speak with is NEVER available. To make matters worse, my bank cleared the check, but is now telling me that I have to pay it back! Is there something I can do? Can I sue Kingsway Financiers or my bank for clearing the check when they didn't know themselves if it would clear?

This is who I was to contact Jane Smith of Kingsway Financiers, 17635 Stony Plain Rd. NW Suite 404 Edmonton AB T53 phone 780-604-5098 When I did I was told to put the check in the bank leave it for 3 days then take it out and get a money gram for the ammount listed and send to a Tamecia Daniel at 2550 Keels Street Suite 500 Toronto Ontario, Canada M3J1L6 hmmmm.....Australian International Lotto and mail something to Canada????
