Online users who have received fake email messages like the one below, which claim that a Mrs. Flordvila Pingkien, a 64-year-old widow, wants to donate her wealth to them left by her late husband to a charity organization, should not respond to them. This is because the email message is a scam being sent by online scammers to trick their potential victims into sending them their personal information and sending money. The scammers, who are pretending to be Mother Flordeville Pingkiam, will ask their potential victims to send money, which they will claim is for taxes, transfer fee or processing fee, in order to receive the millions of dollars they were promised. But, if the potential victims send their money, the scammers will take it and disappear, leaving their victims depressed and a few hundreds or thousands of dollars broke.

Re; HELLO MY DEAR, MY DONATION TO YOU.
With Due Respect and Humility, I was compelled to write you under humanitarian ground. My name is Mrs Flordvila Pingkien, Philippine Origin but married with Late Sir Ratnavale from UK. I have took a personal decision to donate what I inherited from my late husband to the Charity organization, less privilege, building and orphans. I am 64 years old and I was diagnosed for cancer since the past 4 years, immediately after the death of my husband. We were both married for many years without a child, I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money. My late husband was The chairman/CEO of k: E global industries and a philanthropist based in LONDON. I have decided to donate a Cheque of (£2,5000.00 GBP)(Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand GBP) to you for this assignment, Charity, less privilege, building of schools,hospitals and also for the assistance of the poor widows, Motherless babies, Charity organization, MUSLIM OR CHRISTI.
I don't know you in person but God knows you,so contacting you for this assignment is a direction from the holy spirit of God to donate this fund outside this country through you as my late husband has already donated alot in this country LONDON, so you have to make sure that you use this donation fund as I have directed so that the name of the Almighty God will be glorify forever. Your urgent response is required in this matter due to my present critical condition of my health,it was a Sister nurse working in this hospital that helped me to type this message, because I am loosing strenght every munites of the day. All I need from you is prayers that GOD will accept my soul incase I didn't survive this surgery. Also pray for the soul of my late Husband to rest in peace.
Please always be prayerful all through your life, we are visitors on this earth and we must be very careful in whatever we do so that our soul will not be a waste. I wish you all the best and may God bless you abundantly. I AM WAITING FOR YOUR URGENT REPLY.
Remain blessed in God.
Yours
Mother Flordeville Pingkiam
