I got a email from a distant relative recently that said they needed surgery but couldn't afford the bill. I was so worried they would die.
Oh my goodness, that is terrible.  They don't have insurance?
Then my cousin sent another email saying the relative was hacked by scammers and don't send any money. I was glad to hear my relative is doing fine!
I was just about to mention that you should be careful that its not a scam of some sort.
