BEWARE::::Scam Against 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 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.)

Let's be safe out there.

(This means you Eddy and Ray!)

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 week.

My friend's husband wants to know where this place is, he's looking forward to having his wallet stolen on the 20th, twice on the weekend. and maybe more later.

I just told this story to my husband, and mysteriously he got a glazed look in his eyes and muttered something about "forgetting to get something at Wal-Mart", like toilet cleaner, etc.......

I am very purposeful girl, who knows what she wants. I am down-to-earth and ready for serious relationships and a family. If you talk to me you will understand that I am a very sociable and creative personality.

Are you saying you clean windows in Walmart parking lots?

I think you should send out an internet alert, Joe. This warning needs to get out to protect inform the public.

At first I thought that this was a timely warning from a retired member of the police force....looking out for the welfare of S.D. members.

I should have known!! wink

Who says Walmart is against women? Certainly not the men in your story.smile
