Oh look, another social engineering scam passing itself off as a meme.
I hate to be that guy, but this is exactly how people crack into your accounts. These scams are aimed at getting information that can be used to crack security questions for account recovery.
Please do yourself a favor. Next time you see these images please do not interact with them.
Bloody 'ell! I’ve been caught red-handed! With me trousers round me ankles! Be a good lad and write your full name and address so we can send you some warm ale by way of apology.
