Very, Very Clever Scam - taking advantage of 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 Lowe's or Home Depot 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 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!

So far I have had my wallet stolen June 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th.
Also 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 and family to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of older men. Warn your
friends to be vigilant. Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for $1.99 at K- Mart and bought them out.

Also, you never will get to eat at McDonalds. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth to Lowe's and Home Depot.

Henry,
