I lost money in an online scam between April 2010 and February 2012. I met a woman named Angela Wall on the online singles program Myspace, and she and her purported lawyers eventually duped me into sending $170,000 under the impression that an inheritance of $28,000,000 would be released to her and me. This woman said she liked me from my photo and conversation, and said her father’s will stipulated she must be married to inherit. She said she wanted to marry me and she made me executor of her father’s estate. In her photo, she looked young and attractive.
She kept saying that she and I would receive the inheritance together. So she wanted my financial help to pay fees and costs of the inheritance.
After we had chatted on Yahoo chat for several weeks, this woman, calling herself Angela Wall, said she was due a “huge” inheritance left to her by her father who was in the oil business in New York and Kuwait. She was an only child, and her mother had previously passed away. Her father had recently died unexpectedly while traveling in England.
On June 26, 2010, she said she was having her lawyer mail me a check for $8500 and I should cash it and send her part for some expenses she had. The check came, but it was no good. She blamed a lawyer of her fathers whom she said was bad. She was going to switch to another lawyer of her fathers.
She introduced me online to her father’s lawyer, who was handling the estate. His name was Dallas Purdum, and he sent me, for identification, his passport photocopy with photo. He said Angela was due $11,000,000. He enumerated the expenses needed to be paid. I said they were much more than I could afford. We discussed it back and forth.
After awhile, about Sept. 17, 2010, Angela told me about a new lawyer handling her inheritance, Barrister Lee Jung. Mr. Jung said that Mr. Purdum was trying to cheat us, and the real amount of the fund was $28,000,000 and he was going to file charges against Mr. Purdum , and he, Mr. Jung, was going to take over handling the will.
About Sept. 27, Mr. Jung sent me a BREAKDOWN OF THE MISCELLANEOUS AND LOGISTIC EXPENSES which said that $429,050 needed to be paid, and then the inheritance amount would be received in my bank account. He wanted me to send $149,000 . I said finally that all I could afford was to send $60,000. I decided rashly that these people were telling the truth. So, on Oct. 12, I sent $60,000 to an address given to me in China. On Nov. 16 and Nov. 22, I also sent large amounts of money. He asked me to send scanned photo and signature. They required more and more, and I kept sending. They said there was a $45,000 late fee, but later he said it was reduced to $10,000, so they made it sound like I was getting a bargain, which I was fooled into , and I paid.
The $10,000 went astray, and was not received correctly, and my bank’s tracer found out that the money was received, and the account had been closed. Mr. Jung said the recipient was not being honest, and he started legal proceedings against him. Then he said the judge had awarded him damages, and he could pay the $10,000 from that.
I also regrettably borrowed $40,000 from my bank on Nov. 16, 2010 and sent it to Mr. Jung, thinking I could easily recover it from the large inheritance amount.
I was told I should travel to New York City and meet Angela and her lawyer there, and we would sign some documents, and the fund would be released to me. I went to NY on March 10, 2011, and stayed in a hotel, and waited for a phone call from the two of them, and toured the city. I heard nothing from them, but then I got an email from a doctor in Wisconsin saying that the lawyer and woman had been in an auto accident on the way to the airport, and were incapacitated in a hospital. I came home empty-handed, and decided to go to Wisconsin and see what was going on. They weren’t in the hospital in Wisconsin, and when I suggested on email that I visit Angela, she said she had been transferred to an Austin TX hospital to get better treatment for her injuries.
She asked me for more money to pay for medical things, or she would die.
Another lawyer, Alani Smith emailed me and took over because Lee Jung had been sent to Lebanon for medical treatment because he was seriously injured in the auto accident. The woman was sent to Qatar for special medical treatment. A doctor in Qatar asked me for money for her medical treatment. I said I was out of money.
Angela told me that Alani Smith in Malaysia had the inheritance, and we should deal with him. He sent me documents purporting to show he had the large inheritance money. He bilked me out of 6000$ because I believed his line. He said the Malaysian bank was going to send me the $28m. Then , at the last minute, he said the United Nations prevented him from sending the $28m from Malaysia to US because of the U.N.’s fear of terrorists getting it. U.N. wanted 150k to clear it. I said this was too expensive for me. I bailed out ---- Mr. a. smith was mad and insulting.
I got back in touch with Barr. Lee Jung, -- he had new plan. Turned out he didn’t know or agree with Alani Smith. – they were conflicting.
Lee said Smith was fraud. Then Lee and I suggested I resign as executor. Lee had found a new person to act as executor. The new executor had more money to spend on this -- Lee said if I send $4000 for resigning expenses I could resign and would get my expenses so far back : $170k. I sent this eventually, and didn’t get my money back. This was part of the fraud.
About 8/19/2011, Lee said the inheritance had been released into the new executor’s account, and the executor was going to send it to my acct. Later, on 10/7/2011, when I said it hadn’t come, he said the co-director of the company which was the new executor was killed in a plane crash in Nepal Sept. 25. And it would be months before a new director could be installed.
About Dec. 1, 2011, a person named Ronald Sims said in an email that he was in a hotel room in Nigeria near these scammers, and heard them plotting. He sent me a photo and identifying info about me that he said he stole from their room. He said the person calling himself Lee Jung was Nigerian, named Barrister Fatai Oyekan, and Angela Wall was his secretary named Iyabode Adegbite, a Nigerian.
Sims said he would help stop these people and recover my money. He asked me for information about myself to give to officials in Nigeria. Later, he said the scammers had been arrested. Awhile later, he emailed me that the scammers admitted to having a million dollars in a bank in northeast Nigeria. He said the officials needed to fly to this location to pursue the crime, and they requested that I pay their airfare. I told him this was impossible because I was broke, and that it was also ridiculous that the victim of a crime should have to pay official’s airfare. That ended our communication.
Then the lawyer and the girl Angela and a friend of Angela’s named Pastor David urged me to send money for some purpose – 10 or 20k. They tried to shame me into sending it by saying they had all helped financially and why couldn’t I? I told the girl she was a stupid idiot for asking me for more money when I was already broke. Then I stopped talking to her.
After almost 2 years, the purported inheritance hasn’t been released, and the woman and her lawyers keep wanting me to send more money to pay inheritance costs. So I’m convinced that there is no inheritance money, and that it’s a scam.

I have a lot of supporting documentation of this scam, like records of wire transfers of money I have sent, etc.
