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. A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular customers at Lowe's,
Home Depot, Costco, or even Wal-Mart. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out
shopping. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.
Here's how the scam works; Two very beautiful, 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 January 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, again on the 17th, 20th, 24th, and
the 29th. Also February 1st, 2nd, 8th, twice on the 10th & 11th, and very likely again this upcoming
weekend. So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of an elderly man.
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 and I've missed several meals as well. I've already lost 11 pounds
just running back and forth from Lowe's, to Home Depot, and to Wal-Mart.
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.) ** END **
