Im sure some of these perp's just want your email address, usually tied to paypal and other accounts then they try to hack them. If successful then they have a bank account info

Haha. Yep. I checked it on Urban Dictionary:
manuela
The act of 'spanking the monkey'. Masturbating. Choking the chicken. Mexican lingo to refer to masturbation. Manuela is derived or compossed from the word 'mano' or hand. Also known as 'handy'. Manuela, from the pronunciation of manual, mano, manuelear, 'to give a manual job'.
