Cool Older men scam

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-aged 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 May. 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th,
24th, & 29th. Also June. 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th &
27th, 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 Costco, Etc.

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.)

I'll be surprised if the admins let this stay up but I hope they do... Be sure to tell this story tomorrow at the lunch. ((Still laughing, ))

Had tears in my eyes.

Need to make a return to Home Depot anyway, and the car has a few love bugs on the windshield.

Macro,

This is absolutely halarious! You had me for awhile there as my husband makes a gazillion trips to lowes and home depot every week. I just wanted to caution him!

hmmm, wonder if this would work for "older women"!

Windex sales are way up at CVS

Just watch to see if the ladies of TV leave the house with the bottles of yours.

Macro, they got you too huh? My wife keeps saying she'll go with me to Home Depot when I say I need something. Please help, I'm running out of excuses why she wouldn't want to go.
