She's only coming back to the UK for health reasons and she can't afford the medical care she needs in america.

Trust her? All she’s done (according to you) is ask you to help find her a car. Not something to suggests she’s untrustworthy.

Trust her in what regard? Is she asking to get back together with you? Is her son coming with her?

I'm assuming there's been no contact in the last 22 years?

Seems a tad odd that odd that someone would get in touch with an old school flame to try and source a car and whateber 'etc' may be....but it's just as odd to ask a website full of random strangers who don't know you, her or anyone else involved what to do!

Go with your gut instinct.

Unless you think that by helping her you may get in the good books and rekindle your old romance....in which case just crack on!

Just no.

Hadn't seen this detail when I previously posted.

But it's no different to any of those scam emails/texts with a sob story looking for some mug to chuck them some free cash.

Cut contact with her immediately.

I doubt she's even heading back to the UK

That sounds very dodgy. Why does she want you to pay for it?

What else does she want you to pay for? Don't forget there will be the tax and insurance to cover as well.

No contact from her in 22 years at all doesn't want to get back with me at all ,she's bringing her mum and son back to the UK for health reasons and to get treatment from the NHS as they can't afford to pay for it in America

If she's been in the USA for 22 years she must have taken citizenship to remain that long, meaning she won't be eligible for free NHS treatment.

It's a scam. Use your brain.

When she messaged me she never asked how I was or what I've been doing at all it was all about her and her mum coming back to the UK to get medical treatment off the NHS and would I get her a car,I just didn't know if I should trust her and you guys have helped me out a great deal as I don't have anyone else to ask and imagine if I did help her id be stupid idiot as usual

Quite simply my answer would be no. If/when she returns you could signpost her to sites, but the responsibility to purchase anything is hers not yours.

Leave it buddy. Who knows what she wants. I wouldn’t get involved. Surely there are family members that can help her find a car. What for example if you find a car and she buys it and it turns out to be a wreck? Perhaps she doesn’t have all the cash.

I’m always suspicious of people that get in touch after so long, merely to ask you to do something for them.

Dude, do yourself a favour and forget you’ve posted the thread. You’ll keep coming back and trying to justify her requests, to the point that you’ll convince yourself to do it.

The soundest advice has already been given. You sever contact with this person, and forget she got in touch.

She won't be entitled to it and most hospital systems should hopefully flag it up, especially if she struggles to provide an address and GP details.

150% of the cost too.

Simply no. Jusy no.

22 years away, no payment into the intsituation (NHS) she wants help from. No thought about health insurance in the country she went to and now wants you to pay for a car for her?

This is scam and not a nice person written all over it.

If you even contemplate it you're daft. Just tell her no chance and cut all contact
