The answer

A woman's claim that an angel descended upon her and that she received three Qur'anic books is an act of disbelief in Allah and His Messenger. She is a lying charlatan who follows Musaylimah the Liar and other leaders of misguidance. She uses deception to unlawfully seize people's money. It is not permissible for a Muslim to believe her, for Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the Seal of the Prophets, and there is no prophet after him. Anyone who claims prophethood after him is a lying charlatan.
