A hospital bill. Someone in jail. A package held at customs. Scammers use a sudden crisis so you act before you think. By then it does not feel like a stranger asking. It feels like helping.
The warning signs
- A sudden crisis right after you have grown close
- They need money now, and nobody else can help
- You must pay to receive a package or a gift
- They ask you not to tell anyone
