"Mrs. Roseline Gupta Donation to the Poor and Needy" Inheritance Scam

Online users who have received emails like the one below from a so-called Mrs. Roseline Gupta who wants to donate her so-called inheritance to them, should delete the same email. This is because the emails are fakes and scams. Every month, thousands of these email messages are sent out by scammers to trick their potential victims into sending them their personal information and money.

The scammers, pretending to be Mrs. Roseline Gupta, trick their potential victims into sending them their information by claiming they will receive her inheritance. Once the scammers have gotten their potential victims information, they will subsequently contact them and ask them to send money in order to claim the inheritance or donation. But, if the potential victims send their money, the scammers will collect it and disappear.

Remember, never send money to receive donations or lottery prizes. And, once you are asked to do so, it is more than likely a scam.

Subject: My Donation to the poor and needy

Please endeavour to use it for humanitarian service. with warm hearts I offer my friendship, and my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a

person of integrity. My name is Mrs. Roseline Gupta. from Malaysia. I am married to Dr James Gupta who worked with the Malaysia embassy in South Africa for nine years, Before he died in 2002.

We were married for eleven years without a child. He died after a brief illness that lasted for four days. i decided not to remarry or get a child outside my matrimonial home. When my husband was alive he deposited the sum of $22million US dollars [twenty two million US dollars] with a finance firm. Presently, this money is still with the firm. Resently my doctor told

me the risk to live one year more due to cancer problems.

Though what disturbs me mostly is my stroke. Having known my condition I decided to donate this fund to individual that will use this to fund orphanages and widows.

I took this decision because I don`t have any child that will inherit this money and my husband's relatives are wicked and I don`t want my husband hard earned money to be misused by them. I don`t want a situation where these money will be used in an wrong manner, hence the reason for taking this bold decision. I am not afraid of death hence i know where am going.

I can only communication with you via email because of my health, I will always try if chance permits me. I don`t want anyone to know about these development. As soon as I recieve your reply I shall give you more details about the fund. I will also send to you all the deposit document and a letter of authority that will enpower you as the original- Beneficiary of this fund. I want you to always pray for me..

Thanks for your understanding as I wait for your message response.

Best regards,

Mrs Roseline Gupta
