Sadly I know someone who also optimized for being cautious of a romance scam and their penpal verifiable died from a preventable ailment. If only she sent that $100 dollars they explained they needed.

She had initially met this person on vacation and stayed in touch and they eventually asked for money. Guess its impossible to tell the difference!

Color me skeptical, but antibiotics could fit the bill.
