I would try to contact the Lancet Infectious Diseases directly, through an
alternative media to see if this article, the author & the requestor are
legitimate. What is the focus of the article? And why do they need a free

suspicious, but something about this strikes me as a little odd.

The first listing on a Google search is this one:
