Your approach is practical. It’s quite common for such requests to be part of a broader strategy, especially if the message seems more personal than professional. If the email appears to be a mass message or if it lacks specific personal details, it could be a sign that it’s not as personal as it seems.
Here are a few steps you could take:
1. Check the Email Header: Look for signs that the email was sent to multiple recipients. In the header, you can find details about whether it was a direct email to you or part of a bulk message.
2. Verify Details: If the email claims urgent financial need, ask for specific, verifiable details about the situation and the recipient's condition. Be cautious if the response is vague or seems to change over time.
3. Look for Patterns: If she has previously sent similar messages, or if you notice patterns in her communication style, it might indicate a recurring tactic rather than a genuine situation.
4. Consider the Relationship: Reflect on the nature of your past interactions. If this is a sudden shift from a previously business-like relationship to one with financial demands, it’s worth being cautious.
Your skepticism is healthy in situations where the motives might not be entirely clear.
