A sudden trip to a hospital due to an accident or a serious illness, and a resulting urgent money transfer to pay for the treatment are a common element in West African 419 scams, especially romance scams, where a scammer pretends to be in love with the scam victim. Often a family member of the scammer, such as the mother, will suffer this fate.
Who would be so cold-hearted to risk the live of a loved one or of family member of a loved one by refusing to help in an emergency? That kind impulse is what the scammers ruthlessly take advantage of.
In reality in such scams no one is ill. The "doctor" or other hospitall staff who often contacts the victim is the same person as the romance scammer.
The following emails are part of an Advance Fee Scam. See our "419" fraud FAQ for more information on such scams.
