wow, that guy was dumb. i woulda said "well, what name and address does it look like is on the ticket stub". if it was anything close to mine, then it's legit. if it's so far off then it's obviously some type of scam. yeesh, gullible people.

If the guy in question is single then I put about 95% of the blame on the married women. If married, then still only 50%. Just my $0.02!

This is the best I could make out on the ticket and tried several other numbers first. The prize was 4 movie passes, 30$ gift card to Panera and a coupon for a free fondue set. This can be mailed, I need a name and address.
So I got it. And gave it to my bro. It's their headache now, not mine. I'm done with this.

Nicely played!

The whole concept of texting someone with whom you are having an affair seems really weird to me.

"I'm going to have sex with you tonight instead of my husband. LOL"

"He won't suspect a thing. ROFL"

I'm guessing the woman involved who has an affair and texts that frequently is usually very needy and is seeking constant reassurance of one form or another. Of course, it does seem very stupid and likely to increase the incidence of getting caught.

I think you should send a singing clown or strip-o-gram to the guy's work. And when he asks them who it is from, say the husband of the phone number you texted 700 times last month.

My brother (back when I was talking to him) got caught cheating on his wife (with his sister-in-law... his wife's brother's wife) thanks to text messaging. Good move, smart guy.

It sure does seem stupid to leave any sort of trail that is accessible by the other party.

By the way, texting anybody 700 times in a month warrants questioning, even if it was to your best friend in the entire world. What the hell is the matter with you?

If I saw that on my (ok, for her we'll say OUR) Nextel bill, you can bet your ass I would go to her phone and see if I could find what she was sending - plus I'm sure text messages are stored somewhere on Nextel's account information.

Dola-

Of course, they could be talking in some sort of code so that it wouldn't look as suspicious...but then, you'd think they would just get some wal-mart pre-paid phone for this. It seems like people don't understand the words "Paper trail" anymore.

Why not just pay for the reverse lookup services? Those are only 12.95 it looks like, while you're out at least $50 for all that junk.

I think he could save a few bucks if he just went with a $25 gift certificate to The Melting Pot instead of a fondue set. Even the cheap sets run $50-60.

700 text messages in a month. Is she 12?

This raises more questions than answers anyway.

1) does he have access to the phone itself or the bill?
2) If he has access only to the bill, there is only one reason they'd show the number of text messages. That's if she didn't have an unlimited plan.
3) If she didn't have an unlimited plan and she knew the husband would have access to the phone records. . . ok, I'll repeat it again, is she 12? I mean a really dumb 12 year old? (I don't want to insult the smart ones here)
4) If he had access to the phone, why couldn't he look at the text messages?
5) OK, are EITHER of these people allowed to be legally married? I mean is this like some arranged wedding of a two preteens in India or something? I mean, if she's cheating and doing it in this manner, she's beyond moronic. He doesn't have the guts to confront his own wife, instead choosing to act as though he's in some Junior High School mystery. (The Scooby-Doo things were just cartoons, you won't be finding a ghost at the end of this kids)

What a screwed up situation. I'm now waiting for the end of this when I see on Court TV the story of a 12 year old kid who killed a classmate because he found out this guy and his GF were texting each other to much.

Can we get excerpts from the book before it comes out?

They have these things logged on bills?! OMG! I thought they just disappeared into the interwebs!

Really moronic behavior, but I've definately ran into people who were incredibly technologically inept in my life, so I can see it happening.

I can't imagine 700 text messages not involving some sort of infidelity.

Of course, I've sent fewer than 25 text messages in my entire life, so maybe that's just me.

This thread has some serious potential. If she is sending over 700 texts in a month to the same number, then I'm sure she's not smart enough to erase them from her phone.

He should just take a look at the phone while she is in the shower to see what the texts say.
