Nah, it would go like this:

Support: what is your fathers middle name?

Hacker: Michael

Support: sorry that is wrong

Hacker: oh shoot, I forget I always put the incorrect information in this one... i can't remember, did I put a fake name or random characters? Or was this the one I put a bunch of words into?

Support: yeah, it looks like random characters... let's move on
