One brand (Lionsomething...?) of slotmachines that is frequently found in German pubs, kebap joints etc. runs some RedHat like flavor. Source: Saw it rebooting once.
There is no information about the site and what she actually agreed to, but it is very possible that she entered a contract with the scammers. However, she should have the right to withdraw from this 14 days from the date of the purchase ("Widerrufsrecht").
Go to the Verbraucherzentrale ("consumer advice centre") ASAP. They will tell you how to get out of this mess for a small fee or maybe even for free. And for future reference - never give (real) personal data if something is supposedly free and READ BEFORE YOU CLICK.
I'm a recall coordinator. My job is to apply the formula. Take the number of vehicles in the field, (A), and multiply it by the probable rate of failure, (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of-court settlement, (C). A times B times C equals X... If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one.
In Germany we have a system to digitally sign transactions on your PC before sending them to your bank. It's called HBCI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HBCI.

Self-Cooling is available, but not for cans (yet). It is used in so called "coldpacks", which are used to cool sports injuries. Hansaplast sells them in germany. The cooling is based on a salt / water reaction like in the cans.

Maybe that works for engineering too.
