Who Is Mrs. Gupta?
I got this letter in my assignment desk mail box at work. We get these a lot at work and whenever I see them I am first ashamed because I know exactly what they are and then humored after reading the sorry sob story that some greedy suckers out there will probably fall for. Even the ones who have heard about some of these scams just don't realize that they come in different shapes and forms. Like the one that one of my school mates from Carolina fell for. He wanted to get new puppies and I guess he went searching on line and found out about a missionary in Nigeria who had two puppies for sale. The missionary claimed she brought them from America to Nigeria but can't take care of them in Nigeria because of her missionary work and the lack of animal health care or something to that effect. Poor guy felt sorry for the dogs and decided to buy them for $1000. The irony is that one of his best friends is Nigerian and he used to be an active member of OASIS so he could have called me or anyone of his other Nigerian or African friends to ask if this was credible. But I guess he didn't realize how pathetic and low some of these scammers can be. Anyways he was in communication with some middle man that was trying to help him send the dogs over. So he sent the money through Western Union but no dogs came (but my people, this Western Union has done some things sha). So the boy called the number that he had been calling and the man on the other line was like 'I did it for my family, we are suffering' or some BS like that. Chei!! As sad as it was I had to laugh so hard when I was told this story by another friend. If they are not afraid to use God to lie why can't they use Dog too. Such is the case of the born again Mrs Gupta. Like a friend said, chgances are that Mrs Gupta is REALLY Obinna Okpala, of Abakiliki if I may add, 'suffin' de inta-netu on a compura in a cyba-cahfey' in Alaba or Idumota market. Whara-Piri!! See Mrs Gupta's letter below.
Please endeavour to use it for children of God.

Ha! Whatever!
These scammers are really bringing out the big guns now!
Wow! Not, that is dead bold. How can you do that? These people have definitely lost their hearts. Using cancer to lie. I can never use sickness to lie. I feel like it will just happen to me for real. Na wa o!
By the way, Mrs Gupta could really be based in Malaysia. That's another country that competes with Nigeria in corruption.
Ok Now. I skimmed through it but if one were to receive such an email, wouldn't the first logical step be to wonder why Mrs Gupta isn't giving the money to the Red Cross, United Way or some established organisation. Why would she then contact a random "Christian" person who could easily be Buddhist? People let their emotions and greed get in the way of processing information.
