or, just give them what they want, but with the information from a person in the uk they really wouldn't like to mess with. like, dunno, some high ranking police officer?
of course if your wife used her real name on fb that's a no go ... well, time for an internet 101 crash course then i guess!

Its a scam...report, block, move on...or just dont use it and laugh about it...either way works ^
My biggest issue was they always trying to sell me a new bride and plastering dating apps all over the place...every single time I blocked them, more would magically appear the next day. This is why ye dont do silly stuff like use yer real name unless its a locked account to a very select circle.
Big brother is always watching...anything ye do say can be taken down as evidence and used against ye in a court of law...facebook included...privacy? An illusion ^

Even if you avoid FB you can't escape this stuff.
I keep getting letters from Spain, from a "lawyer" for the Loteria which I have won 5 months in a row!

Best feeling in the world is the feeling ye get from conning another con...I just dont use the internet fer it.
Few years back when we were in the US, me daughter sold a tartan handkerchief to a guy selling timeshares in the hotel...or motel or whatever silly name they give to them. Guy thought he was buying a genuine Irish antique hankie after I spent the previous night getting him plastered in the bar and spreading some genuine Irish wit and craic and telling the guy his surname sounded very familiar...
This is why I love yanks...they think that because their ancestors fled the spud famine that they might have left something behind...so theres an easy way in if ye know how to use that against them. Dont shoot the messenger cos others have been doing it fer decades in the likes of Boston and NY over saint patricks day...ye know more americans celebrate that than Irish, right? Over here, half the country doesnt celebrate it at all...just another day off work.
She was 11 years old when she took down her first mark and made 300 quid from a 2.99 hankie she bought at the airport...I was so proud of her that day I let her drive the hire car back to the hotel/motel thingy as a reward. Actually I just hate the fact they drive on the wrong side of the road and put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car...most annoying sometimes.
She says Im the best daddy in the world, but possibly the worst role model a child can have ^

Same here but so many guys are shy when its their first time...always scared their wives will find out...
True. Ages ago, when I found out my female is spending her time here, I was livid.
I had to start playing Elite as well.

To the OP
Hi - I am Donald Macleod's official legal representation and I'm happy to verify your bank details - have PM'd you with a DD form or - you can just email me the sort code, account number and account name (obviously in separate messages for security) and I'll transfer a small amount money into your account to confirm!!
I would bet that these 'Questions and details' help to hack your wifes account. Its called Social Hacking.
Its also possible that these questions could provide additional information to a portfolio of details that were gathered from public facing information on your wifes facebook profile.

Ive seen some great white hat hacking being done against the fake technical support scammers.
Typically these tech support scammers will invite you to install a Remote access client under the pretence of investigating security alerts.
Once in your computer The scammers will run something simple like NETSTAT or point out random warnings in your event viewer and suggest that these are lists of hack attempts (which is rubbish) and then try to sell you a security package for hundreds of dollars.
Sometimes the scammers once remoted into you machine will run SYSKEY and then extort money from you to unlock the computer.
But some people have been setting up VM's, baiting the scammers and hacking them back.
These White hats will typically place a file on the desktop of these trap VM's... named something tasty and irresistible like BITCOIN WALLET or BANKING DETAILS which is actually a renamed R.A.T trojan.exe, The Fake tech support scammers will typically beeline for this file and steal it with a quick file transfer...
of course once they open it on their local PC they have opened a back door for the white hats to enter into their scammer PC and destroy them.
One guy got access to a Scammers Skype account (among everything else) then phoned the scammer on his smart phone, telling him that he just got hacked. The scammer didnt believe him until photo's of himself (private photos) started to appear under his own conversation feed on Skype on his smart phone during the conversation lol. The scammer did his nut, but by then it was too late. everything of his was compromised.
The White hats managed to aquire a complete list of all the scam targets from the scammers PC and then went about contacting them all to warn them that they where being conned.
