                     FILING OF LAWSUIT BY TWO SHAREHOLDERS

PHOENIX--December 28, 2001--quepasa.com, inc. (Pink Sheets: PASA) today
announced that it will hold its annual shareholder meeting on February 11, 2002
at 10:00 a.m. (Nevada time). The meeting will be held at Glen Eagles, 3700 North
Carson Street, Carson City, Nevada. Holders of record at the close of business
on January 7, 2002 are entitled to vote at the annual meeting. At the meeting,
shareholders will elect directors and vote on the previously announced merger
with Great Western Land and Recreation, Inc. quepasa previously announced a
meeting date of January 31, 2002 and a record date of December 28, 2001. The
change was made at the request of a group of quepasa shareholders that has
informed quepasa that it intends to solicit proxies for the meeting. This group
commenced a legal action in Nevada on October 31, 2001 seeking to compel a
separate shareholder meeting to elect directors prior to the shareholder meeting
at which the Great Western merger would be voted upon. quepasa and the
plaintiffs have now stipulated that one meeting will be held.

On December 19, 2001 two of the plaintiffs in the Nevada action commenced an
action against quepasa, its officers and directors and Great Western. This
action alleges various breaches of fiduciary duty by the officers and directors
of quepasa in connection with the Great Western merger. The action also seeks to
enjoin Great Western and quepasa's former chief executive officer, from voting
any shares of quepasa common stock acquired with the proceeds of a 500,000
secured loan made to Great Western in connection with certain amendments to the
merger agreement and from the payment made to the former chief executive officer
in connection with the termination of his employment agreement. quepasa believes
that the action is without merit and intends to vigorously defend the action.
