Legal Question in Criminal Law in North Carolina

What exactly can a spouse do when their spouse goes to an online dating/social networking site and claims their spouse is dead in order to try to have (scam) members of the website to give them money ? The initial comment made on the site states "my hubby died an i have 2 kids an one on the way an i need $ no BS"......a later comment states "my hubby died an i have 3 kids an i need $ no BS"

You are not the victim of this scam so you cannot press criminal charges but maybe you can alert the authorities. The only people on these sites anyway are law enforcement so sooner or later your spouse is going to run afoul of the law.

Your other option is to get a divorce. Why do you want to stay married to a creep like this? If you still do, then have this person get help NOW.
