Scam targeting older men
I already posted this in the national board but we really need to get this warning out to everybody.
______________________________ _________________
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 customers at Home Depot,
Costco, auto parts stores, or even Wal-Mart. This one caught me
totally by surprise. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever
scam while out shopping .. Simply going out to get parts and 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 nice looking, college-age girls will
come over to your car or truck as you are packing your purchases into
your vehicle.
They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with
their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. (It's
impossible not to look). When you thank them and offer them a tip,
they say 'No' but instead ask for a ride to McDonald's. You agree and
they climb into the vehicle. On the way, they start undressing. Then
one of them starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals
your wallet.
I had my wallet stolen Nov. 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, again
on the 17th, 20th, 24th, and the 29th. Also Dec. 1st, 4th, 8th, twice
on the 10th and 12th, and very likely again this upcoming weekend. So
tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage
of us older men.
Warn your friends to be vigilant.
By the way, Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found even
cheaper ones for $.99 at the Dollar Store and bought them out in three
of their stores.
Also, you never get to eat at McDonald's. I've already lost 11 pounds
just running back and forth from home, to Home Depot, to Wal-Mart.
So please, send this on to all the retired men that you know and warn
them to be on the lookout for this scam. The best times are just
before lunch and around 4:30 in the afternoon.
