Believe me, she wants you to think she will never pay you back and wants to be bad company so you will eventually give up the quest. She's not your friend and never was. People who come to you with emotional displays of pity out of the blue are often targeting you for something, because they identify you as someone who will believe their story and feel sorry for them. You're a good person and she took advantage. I'm very sorry this happen to you.

You’re probably right about everything that you said unfortunately.
She actually was in the hospital & she had constant pain spasms too. That was what made me believe her.
Hopefully that wasn’t the case. She even wanted to hire me as her UHSS caretaker. She gave me a form to fill out & I filled it out.
I should’ve seen the red flags though as no one visited her but me. All of her friends & family abandoned her too.
She recently got kicked out of a FB group that she was a leader in.
She claimed she’d pay me back everything once she had the money.
I feel do stupid. Is there a way to protect yourself from predatory people like this in the future?
I have never helped anyone that much before. I guess that I thought I could trust her & that she wanted to help me to in her own way.
Hopefully she will pay me back the money eventually.
