This one caught me by surprise. Over the last month one of my friends 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 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your lumber and hardware. 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 McDonald's. You agree and they get in the backseat.
 
On the way, they remove all of their clothes and start making out.  Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you. She then takes off your pants and throws them into the backseat. While the one is keeping you distracted the other one steals your wallet.
 
He had his wallet stolen July 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, then again on the 17th, 20th, 24th & 29th. Also, August 1st, 7th, twice on the 8th, and again on the 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th.  Then on September 6th, 11th, 14th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
 
So tell your friends to be careful.

P.S. Target has wallets on sale $2.99 each

Can't see that scam happening in B&Q, although skimpy t-shirt in Scottish climate sounds intriguing :wink: :wink: :wink:
