O/T - Scam warning - Don't get taken in
I am sending this to all my male friends as a warning.
Very, Very Clever Scam - taking advantage of older men! Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and in dark parking lots, etc.. This is the first warning I have seen for men. I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it. A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular Lowe's or Home Depot customers. This one caught me by surprise. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends. Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking 20-something girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It is impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to McDonalds. You agree and they get into the back seat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet! So far I have had my wallet stolen June 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also July 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th & 28th, three times last Monday and very likely again this upcoming weekend. So tell your friends and family to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant. Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for $1.99 at K- Mart and bought them out. Also, you never will get to eat at McDonalds. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth to Lowe's and Home Depot. |

Re: O/T - Scam warning - Don't get taken in
Henry, did this possibly happen in your "Chic Magnet" '36 Phaeton? I would think you could get more than just two to ride in that size car. Maybe those two will spread the word and you will have four riding to McDonald's on your next trip to Lowe's or Home Depot. Don't forget we have a tour lined up for this Wednesday. How many wallets should I plan to bring? LOL

Man, I'd say that's a scam. Whoever heard of paying that much for a wallet.

Re: O/T - Scam warning - Don't get taken in
"twice on the 15th" that's pretty impressive, twice in one day. I'd be lucky if I could be scammed once, two days in a row!

Re: O/T - Scam warning - Don't get taken in
So you lost like 83 wallets to these girls.... and no pictures, not even a cell phone pic, what happens? Do you get all excited like those fainting goats? Do you lose all the blood flow to the brain? I do.
