Just got a call from America'sBookie saying I have Funds in my account...
I never signed up with them and they gave me an id # and it's showing a balance?
WTF?

Called me too, they created an account for you and put $xxx in it. You can play with it but have to deposit at least $xxx to claim it as a bonus ... typical.

So a book calls you to say you have 300 in your account, which it obviously a promo account and you won't take advantage of it?

i think it is like what easy street use to do.
Here are their rules for it Free Roll Account Rules
All the fields must be filled out and must have an active and valid, phone number email address. The customer will be sent the free account rules via email to verify the email address.
Incoming calls are not eligible for the free account.
Valid for players living in United States, and Canada ONLY
There is only one free account per customer, household and IP address. Multiple accounts are not allowed.
The player must wager 15 times the promotion amount.
Example : $100 promotion = $100 x 15 roll over = total of $1500 in total action before a payout can be requested.
Minimum withdrawal is $100. A maximum of $250 may be withdrawn from a free account.
Maximum wager on the no deposit promotional accounts is $50.
Amounts won on free accounts will take at least 72 hours for payouts due to the comprehensive fraud screening. Any accounts that have the same details or IP address as any losing accounts are voided immediately.
Free accounts must be open for at least 30 days before requesting a payout.
In addition to the above stipulations, in order to request a payout from a free account the customer needs to fax a copy of a valid driver’s license, state identification or passport for payout verification

They are a decent small book that pays, probably a solid C shop. Just collected $900 on Monday from them--same day.

Freaking everyone is so damn stingy these days. I remember 10-years ago when money was worth more and there were multiple Nigerians giving out $40,000,000 plus and every now and then would get $86,000,000. I mean wft can't ever catch a f'n break any more, like never. Anyway at least it's free money and only takes sending them $2,500 for the paper work. But, seriously once it gets down out of 8-figure range - I question if it's even worth it, they're going to have to start splitting the cost, because I don't know the deal with this shit is any more. $13 f'n million, plus never know when one of these might be a scammer too.
Edit: ya know what Sam I wouldn't even do it. Tell them $18 million or no deal. These guys need a lot of help giving away money. Tell them take $5 million from the next sap giving him $8 million and to send you 18, or no deal. Trust me they'll come back, they're just agents that make the money on the paper work. Take small money one time, they'll be shorting you, every time will be less and less.

yeah they called me several months to do that to me. said that i had money in my account i'd forgotten about which confused me because i never used that book. it turns out it's just a deposit bonus, so standard false advertising nonsense. for some reason a lot of doofuses don't see anything wrong with describing a deposit bonus as "money you forgot about in your account."

Perhaps. It's basically a page out of the Betonline playbook. The "free" money comes with a deposit kicker.

Yes, same exact thing. Betonline made me think I had $500.

Keep getting e-mails from them as well that I have $100 in my account. E-mails get deleted.
