Older Men
Scam
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 Lowe's, Home Depot, Costco, 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
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 Oct. 4th, 9th,
10th, twice on the 15th, again on the 17th, 20th, 24th, and the 29th. Also Nov.
1st, 4th, 8th, twice on the 16th &17th, 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.
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 Lowe's, to Home Depot, to Wal-Mart.
So please,
send this on to all the older 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.)
