Due to the nature of my email address I've had a few experiences with the Matt Winters of the world. The most recent one involved a Mr. Matthew Winter from Andover UK. I got his Virgin Media phone / TV account pin emailed to me along with a message of "hey you're bill is ready." Not wanting to be late on a payment (or more likely not wanting to cause another of my nominal brothers to be late on a payment) I signed in to the account found the phone number that was being paid for and called it up using my gmail / Google Voice widget ($0.02 a minute!). He had a charming computerized British lady voicemail greeting. I left him a message explaining the situation and now Virgin's got their email addresses all sorted out. And I have a pen pal in Andover.

Oh yeah and I still had the initial $1.00 of credit on my google account so I didn't have to ask him to paypal me 4 cents.

Whenever I'm bored at work and feel like reminiscing I do a search for 409ers on the system and I always find a Matthew Winters. I haven't looked up what his story was but he was not nearly as sharply dressed as the real article.

This morning I received an email from Plenty of Fish congratulating me on opening my account. my username is apparently "Lilboner" so clearly I'm looking for something serious.

Well he only made it a few days before I decided I didn't want to get any more "Franchesca_44 is interested in you!" updates so I reset the password and nuked the account. I was pleasantly surprised that an account deletion feature was even present.

I feel like you missed an opportunity to monitor his life and reward him with good dates when he's good and vice versa kind of a pavlovs bitches thing and at the end of his life he meets you and is like "it was you the whole time"

Ok reviewing this and someone needs to take the pavlovs bitches thing and run with it maybe a sitcom movie or themed strip club for the b'hooty portfolio
