Second, because he wouldn't give his last name also struck me as a bit weird. If there wasn't more to the story, why not be upfront about who you are, especially in hopes of communicating to this woman that this was innocent. It's plausible that he has a sketchy past, as much as it's plausible that she also has a sketchy past. Some times when people have been serially hurt, they are somewhat paranoid of being hurt again.. ? First, yes, clearly Virgin Mobile is targeting a ‘skank’ crowd.

When I read about that, though, I thought 'something's up'. Either the wife has some major underlying issues, in which case if it weren't preloaded messages from his mobile provider it would be the heart that some waitress drew under their name after "Thanks !" on the bill taht wold have sunk them. That, or the guy has had a mucho skanky past which gives him zero latitude when it comes to anything even smelling of infidelity.
