A sick baby hoax is a confidence trick where a person claims, often on a website, that they have an ill child (or sometimes a cat or dog) and are struggling to pay for its medical expenses. Some versions of the hoax ask people to make a monetary donation directly, while others simply encourage people to share the story.

  • Hoaks sumbangan orang sakit adalah sebuah trik konfidensi di mana seseorang mengklaim, bahwa mereka memiliki, teman, anak, atau relasi yang sakit (kadang-kadang juga hewan peliharaan seperti kucing atau anjing) dan berjuang untuk membayar biaya pengobatannya. Beberapa kasus penipuan juga meminta orang untuk memberikan sumbangan uang secara langsung, sementara yang lain hanya mendorong orang untuk berbagi kisah. Para pengemis profesional telah mengeksploitasi anak-anak yang sakit sejak zaman kuno. Keberhasilan penipuan ini memanfaatkan simpati kasih sayang terhadap anak-anak. Ketika seorang anak sakit, biasanya sangat menyentuh hati orang, dan mereka memanfaatkan hal tersebut untuk menarik simpati demi meraup keuntungan. Contoh awal dari jenis penipuan daring ini adalah "surat berantai anak yang sakit", sebuah surel yang biasanya menyatakan bahwa "dengan setiap nama yang dikirim dalam ini, akan menyumbangkan 3 sen per tiap nama untuk pengobatannya". Keberadaan media sosial, seperti Facebook, mendorong maraknya bentuk penipuan semacam ini. Foto anak yang sakit sering kali diposting secara daring, biasanya tanpa sepengetahuan kerabat, disertai dengan cerita yang menyentuh hati dan terkadang permintaan sumbangan, yang hanya dikumpulkan oleh penipu tanpa disalurkan ke anak yang sakit. Seringkali foto-foto ini viral, sehingga hampir tidak mungkin untuk menghapusnya. Karena Facebook lambat dalam mengatasi masalah secara efisien (hanya mengandalkan permintaan dan laporan penghapusan pengguna), beberapa situs web berusaha memerangi penipuan dan tipuan telah bekerja sama untuk meningkatkan kesadaran penyedia media sosial mengenai masalah ini.

  • A sick baby hoax is a confidence trick where a person claims, often on a website, that they have an ill child (or sometimes a cat or dog) and are struggling to pay for its medical expenses. Some versions of the hoax ask people to make a monetary donation directly, while others simply encourage people to share the story. Professional beggars have been exploiting sick children since ancient times. The success of such scams relies on a particular compassion in people towards children. When a child is sick, this particularly touches people's hearts. An early example of this kind of hoax online is the "sick child chain letter", an email making the claim that "with every name that this [letter] is sent to, the American Cancer Society will donate 3 cents per name to her treatment". Social media, such as Facebook, facilitate the following form of this scam. A photo of a sick child is posted online, commonly without knowledge of the relatives, accompanied by a heart-touching story and sometimes a request for donations, which are simply collected by the scammer. Often these photos become viral, so it becomes close to impossible to take them down. Since Facebook has been slow to address the problem efficiently (relying on user takedown requests and reports only), several scam- and hoax-combatting websites have worked together to raise the awareness of social media providers regarding this issue.
