A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular customers. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping at Home Depot. Simply going out to get supplies has turned out to be very traumatic for me. 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 20-21 year-old 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 another Home Depot.

You agree and they get in the backseat. 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.

I had my wallet stolen April 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th & 29th. Also May 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

Please tell your friends to be careful.

P.S. Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99.

(Thought everyone could use a laugh. Very Happy

^^ and knowing it will happen again this weekend as well ... man, you're a lifetime victim. Which Home Depot did you say it was?

That scam paid for my college education. It didn't take long to find out married men rarely have much money in their wallets. Wink

I'm sorry you were traumatized. Sad

Clean windshields can be terrifying.

Do you know of any Home Depots where men are doing the scamming? I would like to forward that info to jojo, YW, and Prof.

Well Jayhawk, as the victim of this scam, weren't you listening to anyone that warned you that is was a scam? Apparently not, because you fell for it 20 times - you have set the victim record.

I don't hear you complaining though. - more like bragging! Laughing

Not when your wife is standing right behind you Laughing

Your Wife sees you starring...

Why would they do this?

I guess this was the traumatic experience. Rolling Eyes

He presumably placed his wallet on his lap (For the gals to see) I don't know about you guys ...but I always keep my wallet in my front pocket, which made me wonder ...how would they have stolen his wallet if it had been in his back pocket? Laughing
