His resume says he was an engineer at LowerMyBills between November, 2003 to June, 2004.

I'd bet that was a bouncer/client set address, for the joke.

Sigh, people probably trust things like this today because FB(whatsapp)/Google/slack/discord forces you to sign up with valid phone numbers and probably expose that as your ID.

I think the joke may have been by ChrisLMB, who saw the opportunity when he read the unmasked second-level domain in ben174's address.

But the guy's got LMB in his name, what's up with that?

That would be the opportunity, I guess. :-)

Definitely had this happen to me when I was new on IRC.

His resume has that place of work listed. Of course it could be part of the joke too, but thats elaborate.
