Online users, be aware of the "Mrs. Jacqueline Mars" donation scam below. The scam is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money.

Received this scam:

"Please be informed; That what the Mars Family Foundation, expect from you the beneficiary of this charity fund donation, is for you to become comfortable as more of a spokesperson for the community you are living in and prepare to be capable of moving from behind the scenes to organising into a more front facing role in your community such as helping the less privilege people around you and supporting child education program in your community or in your country, with any amount you wish to invest from this Charity Fund donated to you and no amount is too little to create an impact and you have to make sure you reach out to the poor in your society.

My Dear Beneficiary,

I am sure this mail would be coming to you as a surprise, since we have never met before and you would also be asking why I have decided to choose you among the numerous internet users in the world. Your email address came up in a random draw conducted by Mars Inc charity fundraising support, I cannot say Why I have chosen you but do not be worried because we have made our random draw and your e-mail address was picked to receive this charity fund donation as the beneficiary of my (LAST WILL) which has made me accomplish my request. May the almighty God bless and see you through with this mission. Please carefully read and digest the message below.

Before I move further, permit me to give you a little of my biography, My name is Mother Jacqueline Mars, 81 Years old, Investor and Founder of Mars Family Care Foundation and daughter to Late Sir, Forrest Edward Mars Sr, former Director of Mars, Inc. After the death of my father I became the head of some of his investment but now that I am old and weak I have decided to spend the rest of my life with my family and loved ones whom I never had time for during the course of my business life, but before the death of my father, our family donate 2.0% of our family annual income to the less privilege charity homes and few lucky individuals across the globe and close friends. It is so unfortunate that my father is not alive today to do this with us and I am very weak and old now, hence I have decided to continue this philanthropic work on behalf of my late father and our great family.

I have presently deposited a Cheque in the sum of (FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) with ING Bank N.V to be transfer to you, what you have to do now is to contact Mr. Tanate Phutrakul the (CFO of ING Groep and ING Bank N.V) as soon as possible to know when they will transfer or deliver your cheque to you because of the expiring date of the Cheque. I only made the deposit with your EMAIL ADDRESS and the DEPOSIT CODE is (ING_1972027_MARS). I have paid for the Full Tax Insurance of the Cheque deposit to ING Bank, showing that it is not a Drug Fund or Fund meant to sponsor Terrorism in your Country. Let me repeat again, you are not to pay for the Insurance Premium of the Cheque to ING Bank because I have already paid for them.

I am sorry to inform you that you may not have the chance to meet me because I have just concluded the assignment which my father and our family have agreed upon before his death and you happened to be the beneficiary of my (LAST WILL) donation, irrespective of your previous financial status, hence I need you to do me a favor by accepting our offer that will cost you nothing. PLEASE MY DEAR, IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU WILL NOT USE THIS MONEY FOR BETTERMENT OF THE POOR IN YOUR SOCIETY, please do not contact me or the Mr. Tanate Phutrakul, please I need someone that will help me distribute this money generously to the less privilege in their communities.

Kindly contact Mr. Tanate Phutrakul, with Your Full Names: Your Postal address; Your Direct telephone number; for transfer of the Cheque to you.

Contact Person: Mr. Tanate Phutrakul
E-mail: cfo-ing-gb.com
Tel: 31 97005032613

Note: Please I do not want you to thank me or our family, All I need you to do is, When you get this fund, use ONLY 800.000.00 (Eight hundred thousand United States Dollars) for your effort and USE THE REST OF THIS FUND FOR CHARITY PURPOSE IN THE WAY IT WILL PLEASE HUMANITY. GOD BLESS YOU!

Yours Faithfully
Mrs. Jacqueline Mars"
