I gave my Brazilian friend quite a bit of money for a CT at a private clinic. The public clinic (hospital?) supposedly was totally overbooked for this kind of examination so they had some kind of lottery going on for appointments.
Could of course also be that my friend scammed me, not sure.
Unfortunately, it’s not uncommon for that kind of thing to happen. CT scanners aren’t common because they’re expensive as fuck, as is its maintenance. Not every public hospital has it and if it’s underfunded, that’s usually one of the first equipments to stop working, because that maintenance money will pay for higher priority materials.
So chances are she actually didn’t lie and I invested into her health? If she doesn’t lie she might actually like me. And maybe even not only because I’m bankrolling that medical bill 😀

Keep a healthy amount of skepticism. Appearances are suggestive not informative.
As someone who is too trusting of people, I’ve found this out the hard way.
