Older men beware of this scam
Older men scam: BE CAREFUL, IT COULD BE YOU!
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 on Feb. 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, again on
the 17th, 20th, 24th, and the 29th. Also March. 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 retired 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.)
