Guy I went to school with got caught out by this, mother of his kids left him and took the kids.
Everyone found out obviously, so was an interesting convo the next time I saw him.
No sympathy for the guy as how stupid to you have to be to get in that position.
Could have been worse - she could have left the kids behind
Of course if the scammers actually had anything and being such upstanding members of society, they will of course delete said vid once they receive the ransome
