I would tell her to approach someone that she is familiar with. I don't find it appropriate to try to verbally manipulate a stranger into helping you out in this context. I love helping people personally, but I don't want to have to judge someone on the spot to know whether or not I should help them.
There were two "salesmen" that saw a friend and I walking in a parking lot and they initially implied that they had to get rid of speakers that were worth a few thousands dollars and that we would get it for free. They then proceeded to park and we walked over. Once we began talking they tried to rush us into purchasing it. They had to get rid of it supposedly so their manager wouldn't get angry. We asked if we could possibly get it later and they said we had to buy it on the spot. It was clear that they were either trying to scam us or manipulate us.
I don't think you should ever do something you are uncomfortable with. If you have the heart to bring this up in a forum then you must be a really good person. You shouldn't look down on your decision not to help them out. I get the impression that you love helping people and that is what counts.
