This is a very sick trick and scam, and you notice they only go after the senior citizens!!!! So many people are in such need right now that they will believe anything. I would really like something to happen to these people its just wrong......
I, too, received an email but they have now changed some of the info such as the "good doctor (now Dr. Erik Holm of SafeClaim Securities)), the telephone #, the address in Madrid and, yet, the signatory of the letter seems to remain as " Mr. Raul Martinez (fairly common name, I think). You would think that Spain would latch onto these people who have been doing this for years. H, Ct.
I received a letter from you stating I had won $4,500,000, from your lotto. I'm supposed to contact Dr Francis Miller to get the money set to me. I cannot call as per your letter. But I'm to contact the good Dr by e-mail. Well, I went online to send him a e-mail but it wouldn't go thru. Please have him contact me at my e-mail address... Jon B.
It is a scam sent by thieves attempting to trick you into sending them money and personal information. So, do not be fooled. Do not send the thieves your hard earned money.
It is a SCAM, never send money to win money! I Pray that they will get theirs, and they will, because the Good Lord doesn't sleep!
I am glad I saw the internet on this bonoloto.es. I was tempted to try it. thank you again.
(October 7, 2019) - I, too, just received a form from BonoLotoEs, Calle Del Leon 13, Madrid, Spain 28014, dated 30th September 2019 advising that I have won $4,500,000.00, Telephone 011 34 631 142 562 - with an Award Notification Final Notice - with a Claim Agent Dr. James Edwards Foreign Operations Manager of Safeway SA. Madrid, Telephone 011 34 602 862 481Email: safewayclaims-yahoo.comForm signed by Mr. Raul Martinez, PresidentWHAT A SCAM! I never heard of them before I read about them on the internet! THEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED!E.S., OF NEW JERSEY, U.S.A.
Lol, got one of these today. How stupid do they think I am. It came in the mail won $4,500,000,00. These people should be tracked down, drawn & quartered with four strong horses.
Good afternoon,Regarding the letter I received captioned "BonoLoto.Es,? I immediately checkedtheir "affiliation" at Once.Es. My search through this site shows no mention of BonoLoto. Nor is there any sign of BonoLoto at the site of the address shownas Calle del Leon 13, Madrid 2814.I have not bothered to check with the Spanish Government Lottery Board or any other site shown in the letter, since my few searches have already produced NO trace of this so-called entity called BonoLoto.Es.What information do you have regarding this BonoLoto.Es and its letter to me informing me of a money award in the millions of US dollars?Cordial saludo,Prof. Schultz
BonoLoto.Es does not exist.Please send a copy of the email or letter that you have received to info-onlinethreatalerts.com for us to research.
Received a letter like the one referenced above by anonymous near Wrightsville, GA. Who might these scammers have purchased a mailing list from? Is there any way to track this to find out?
I also receive abonoloto.es saying I won 4,500,000.00.telephone no. 011 34 632 135 278.Also a number from the president of the BONOLOTO.ES award dept. My agent name DR.JOHN CEDARS; manager of Safeway SA Madrid emaail safewaysamadrid-yahoo.com.I will like to know is this part of a scam. I live near nashville,tennesee
It is a scam.
Who would they have bought a mailing list from? Any way to track this?
I also received a letter stating I won 4 million 500,000 dollars in the BONOLoto.Es.Telephone # 011 34 631 819 184 - also a claim # and a batch # and a ticket # with my lucky numbers.My agent is Dr. Jacob Creek : manager of SAFEWAY = email: safewaysamadrid-yahoo.com.I suspect this is part of the scam. Is there anyway to find out for sure?My location is near Springfield, Oregon.
I received the EXACT same info on September 11, 2018: $4,500,000.00 in the BonoLoto.Es, phone number and email is even the same as you stated. My ticket no# is 025-21-464-992-950. My claim agent is also Dr. Jacob Creek, who is the manager of SAFEWAY SA. MADRID.I don't know about you but I get at least one or more of these scams, through the mail or internet, weekly. They must be making money or else they wouldn't be in business...very, very sad....I am also not afraid to give my location as I doubt one more scammer will make a difference :-) I am located in Akron, Ohio. Good luck out there to all!! If you haven't made your own money, no one, absolutely NO ONE,is going to give it to you!
My 85yr old Mother has just received a “winning bonoLoto es prize”I have sent them her name and address, but no other information.I think this is a bigtime scam! I’m anxious to see how they reply to my latest response.
I got a letter in the mail today, claiming I won $4,500,000,00 . Is this real or a scam ?Telephone # 011 34 631 819 184 - also a claim # and a batch # and a ticket # uith my lucky numbers. My agent is Dr. John Cedars : manager of SAFEWAY = email: safewaysamadrid-yahoo.com.Is there anyway I can check this out ? Real or Scam ???? Thanks. Sherry.
How do we know definitely that it is for real, a scam? there is a number for you to call, is this a number by which there would be a huge charge as per scam?Where do we go to find out if we really have won? I'd like to check it out somehow! The number they sent is 011 34 632 752 436, the email address: safewaysamadrid-yahoo.Com.Also, they gave the name of Dr. Donald Owen as the agent to contact . is this all for real or a phony scam?
I also received a letter from bonoloto,and was also excited,when it said I won four and a half million dollars.It sounds like by what im reading,it is just another scam. I will not give my personal info or send money to any one that I don't think is legit.has anyone out there in cyber space collected from this lottery?
I just got one of these letter saying I won 4,500,000. of course I got excited. But mine said call a DR. Jacob Creek. I was going to call the "better business bureau", but I put the name BonoLoto.ES. in the address box to see what I came up with and I got this. I thought I had really won, but I wasn't about to give them my banking info.
My letter received via US mail in Delaware from BonoLoto.ES. Mail envelope addressed to me but had no postage stamp on envelope and letter did not have my name anywhere in document.Said from Bonoloto.Es affiliated with Once Espana, www.once.es desk of president of Bonoloto.Es Int'l award dept.

I can claim in person in Madrid, pay for home delivery or direct wire transfer to bank account."Asked to keep award confidential util claim processed. Bar coded letter with various stamps by spanish goverment signed by Raul Martinez President.
I am fed up receiving these scam letters which are addressed to my late dad who has been gone for over 10 yrs so no way could buy a ticket just ignore them as they just upset people.Just wish they had an address on the envelope and return to sender m turner Glasgow
why did we get this letter saying we won a big amount of money when this says it is a scam.I don't understand why people want to get everyone excited thinking they have won a big amount and get nothing this is hard on a old person heart so if we didn't win anything and this is a scam like this says.Please don't send no more...
My grandfather was just scammed by these people and is now out $25,000. Can I do anything? He has dementia and is disoriented. I’m so furious that they got him for so much money!!
So, so, so sorry to hear...I also received one of these scam letters (see above answer to someone else for additional info), but I recognized it as a scam.I hope your grandfather gets his money back :-(
Report it to the police and contact his bank for help.
I have just received a letter saying that I have won bonoloto at amount of 4.5 million dollars. Letter came on 29, April, 2018, from bonoloto president Raul Martinez who has instructed me to contact agent Gerry Johnson in order to process my winning cheque and send it to my united States of America address.However, I have been asked to pay a mailing fee of $850.00 to someone in California before I can receive my check. This is a scam indeed. May God punish thieves and scammers in this world. Amen.
I received such a letter advised not to share this with no one right away. I knew something is wrong, whoever buy this is so crazy to believe
My father received such a message and they give a claim number, batch # and phone number to call. They even give a name: Carlos Smith to contact who is a foreign Service representative working for a company called "Union Security Company".We are supposed to call them if we can not take a trip to Madrid Spain to pick up our winnings. Of course, there is a fee for sending the winnings directly to us. The feels and smells like a scam, especially since my father never played that particular game with the Spain.
It is a scam. Once you are asked to send money in order to receive a lottery prize, it is a scam.
Received letter in the mail regarding winning $4.5M in the Spanish Lottery Bono Lotto.However, the letter was actually mailed from PORTUGAL.Was requested to contact Mr. Carlos Smith at #011 34 653360633 for processing and remittance at Union Security Company!A fee has to be paid for home delivery, or transfer to my bank account, with transfer and insurance fees to be paid also. I could also make the claim and legalization at the office located at Calle Atocha 28014 Puerta Sol Madrid Spain.I am waiting for my check, HA!
My mother just got a variant of this today. The envelope had no return address. The enclosed document appears designed by a drugged out teenager (multiple fonts and styles plus colors all over the place) Says to contact them on a yahoo.com email address. "...we ask you to keep this award confidential to yourself alone, and out from public notice." Says Safeway SA Madrid is the claim agent.
Similarly got a snail mail, no return address but postmarked from restauradores(lisbon). Machine signed by a Raul Martinez, stamped approved by the Spanish government, September -05th-2017 certified. Claim agent Dr. Jacom Creek of Safeway SA. Madrid.They look like they ask for payment if you want home delivery of the funds instead of traveling to Spain to collect.
They are a crooks all the way in Arkansas. My elderly neighbor got one of these, if I hadn't helped her she may have been a victim, but those sorry scammers need to be put in the slammer or jail.
