FAQ: Why do romance scams so often use a sick or injured brother? A sibling medical crisis sounds urgent, sympathetic, and hard to disprove from overseas. It lets the requester demand a fast deposit while making you feel heartless for asking questions, which is exactly the reaction a scammer is trying to trigger.

FAQ: She sent a hospital bill and a doctor's name. Does that prove the emergency is real? No. Bills, admission slips, and prescriptions are easy to fake, reuse, or pull from the internet. Documents prove nothing about who is messaging you or where your money would actually go, so they should not replace a live identity check.

FAQ: What if I already wired money for the hospital deposit? Stop any further transfers, then contact your bank or money-transfer service immediately because some payments can still be recalled. Keep every receipt and chat log, report the account to the dating platform, and file with the FTC and the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center if you are in the U.S.
