FAQ: Her mother really is in the hospital — does that mean I should pay? A genuine illness and a safe money request are two different things. Even if the medical situation is real, sending cash to someone you have only spoken to online is what carries the risk, not the diagnosis itself.

FAQ: How can I tell a real medical emergency from a scripted one? Honest hardship usually comes with specific, checkable details and no pressure on you to fix it. A scripted version tends to dodge questions about the hospital, the local family, and why you are the only option.

FAQ: She got upset when I asked questions about the hospital. Is that a red flag? Yes. A sincere person can answer where her mother is being treated and who else is helping. Anger or guilt aimed at you for asking basic questions is a pressure tactic, not a sign of real grief.
