Taking Advantage of Older Men SCAM

Clever Scam - taking advantage of older men. You can never be too safe these days!

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. When you thank them and offer them a tip,
They say, 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to McDonald's.

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.


I 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.

Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for
$1.99 at Dollar General and bought all they had, they will be getting
Another shipment anyday! Also, you never will get to eat at McDonald's.
I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth to Lowe's and
Home Depot.


So warn your friends to be vigilant. What a horrible way to take
Advantage of older men.

I swear Marcie, I thought I would be dyeing sometime before the VA will approve my claim, however, I have come to realize that I will probably be gone before that if things like this continue to pop up out of nowhere, especially when the board has been so silent.

Jeez, Marcie!

After a couple of years of rasslin' politicians, a few rounds of electro-shock therapy sounds kinda ... well, restful, kinda-sorta ...
