FAQ: She says the cheap fare expires today. Should I send the money fast? No. A real airline price does not vanish in the time it takes to verify someone. The countdown is the pressure tactic itself. If the trip is genuine, you can book the flight directly in her name and never hand over cash.

FAQ: I paid for the ticket but now there is an extra airport or travel-tax fee. Is that normal? Legitimate fares already include taxes, and no airline collects a surprise cash "release fee" through your date. A second charge appearing after the first payment is the classic follow-up demand, and it usually keeps growing.

FAQ: She never boarded the flight I supposedly paid for. What now? A no-show after payment is the giveaway. Stop sending anything more, keep every screenshot and receipt, report the profile, and call your bank or payment app immediately to ask whether the transfer can still be recalled.
