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. This will only become more commonplace as the weather warms...
A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular Lowe's, Home Depot, or Costco 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 the local 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. I had my wallet stolen on, uh... June 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th...
And also on 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 to be careful! What a horrible way to take advantage of older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant!
Here's what I did to protect myself...
I found Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each, and then I found cheaper ones for $1.99 at K- Mart and bought them out. Plus, I've never gotten to eat at the McDonalds, so I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth to Lowe's, Home Depot, and Costco...
thanks for the warning. looks like i got to spend more time in those parking lots to help protect the innocent and unaware. it's tough, but somebody got to do it.
