"419" Scam – Advance Fee / Fake Lottery Scam

The so-called "419" scam is a type of fraud dominated by criminals from Nigeria and other countries in Africa. Victims of the scam are promised a large amount of money, such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting in some bank account, etc.

Victims never receive this non-existent fortune but are tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain anonymous. They hide their real identity and location by using fake names and fake postal addresses as well as communicating via anonymous free email accounts and mobile phones.

Keep in mind that scammers DO NOT use their real names when defrauding people.
The criminals either abuse names of real people or companies or invent names or addresses.
Any real people or companies mentioned below have NO CONNECTION to the scammers!

WALHANG ELECTRODE COMPANY LONDON

Westminster, London United Kingdom.

Tel: +447040110447

ATTN: Dear Friend,

Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not

a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious.

I am Mr. Roy Jackson, a personal assistant to Mr.Wallter Hangal,

the managing director of WALHANG ELECTRODE COMPANY LONDON England.

I am Mr.Wallter Hangal's personal assistant for six years now; Mr.Wallter Hangal

had a beautiful wife Mrs. Cathrine Hangal and three children.

Mr.Wallter Hangal was the managing director of WALHANG ELECTRODE COMPANY

LONDON England.Mr.Wallter Hangal was 68 years old, and was a German national

who sadly died in tsunami incident on 26th December 2004.

You will read more stories about the tsunami victims on visiting this web
site,www.ems.narenthorn.thaigov.net/tsunami_e/tsunamilist.php?.

Mr.Wallter Hangal died in tsunami incident in Thailand together with

his wife and three blessed children on 26th December 2004.Since after the

incident I have been trying to locate any of his relations or brother but to no
avail. I later

discovered that Mr.Wallter Hangal was the only issue to his family.

Before his death on 26th December 2004, Mr.Wallter Hangal left with a bank a
total

sum of $58(FIFTY EIGHT MILLON)US DOLLARS.

I came across your name and contact, in the course of my personal

searching for reliable and honest person whom will transact this business with

me.Indeed,i decided to contact you for this project.

I am contacting you to assist in repatriating and securing the wealth

left behind in a fixed deposit account by Mr.Wallter Hangal before they get

confiscated or declared unserviceable by the Bank. The board of the directors

in the Bank has issued a notice that after 2 months from now and no next

of kin shows up for the claims, the funds will be confiscated and declared
unserviceable.

Since I, the personal assistant have been unsuccessful in locating Mr.Wallter
Hangal's

relatives for sometime now. I seek your consent to present you as the

Next of Kin of the deceased since you are a foreigner, so that the proceeds of

this deposit valued at $USD 58 Million Dollars can be released to you.

The Bank will release the funds to any foreigner who has all related

information/documents of Mr.Wallter Hangal. I have successfully

gotten all the necessary documents and contacts of his account with the bank,

Your application will be directed to his Account Officer Department

For verification and approval. Everything is under my control. I shall

Provide you all the information and copy of the certificate of deposit issued

to Mr.Wallter Hangal when he deposited the funds in the Bank.

I shall also involve a good attorney who shall represent you in all the

appropriate offices for the claim. I shall destroy all the documents

used for the claim and leave no traces. After everything, you shall have 30% of

the total sum, while 70% for me. All i requires is your honest cooperation to

enable us see this business successful.

I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement

that will protect you from any breach of the law. Mr.Wallter Hangal was a very

good man and it is not wise to allow his hard earned wealth to be stolen by the

greedy directors of the bank.

Further details awaits your response by email. Please treat this proposal very
seriously and confidential.

Best Regards and God bless you.

Mr. Roy Jackson.
