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 is catching them totally by surprise.
Over the last month I had a freind who 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.
He emailed with this......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 Mar. 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the
15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also Apr. 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.
I wanted all the older men to 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.)
