A friend was hit up on a similar scam. Made arraignments to meet a women he met on line, but was asked to send 'her' $50 first so she could fix a flat on her car. He foolishly did so, then shortly thereafter received a photo of a woman in a hospital bed along with a plea for help to pay medical expenses after wrecking the newly-repaired car.
The scammer started with a small sum at first to sink the hook, then quickly upped the ante for more money. My friend finally got wise and cut it off before going any further.
