Parking Lot Scam BEWARE !!

Warning for Older men 


Please, family and special friends, stay safe! Read this to the end,

thoroughly.


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 customers at Lowe's, Home

Depot, Costco or even Wal-Mart.


This one caught me totally by surprise. I became a victim of this 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 nice-looking, college-aged 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 in some skimpy outfits. (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 someplace close to eat.


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 Sept. 4th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, &

29th. Also Oct. 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 13th, 14rd, 17th, and very

likely again this upcoming weekend.


So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage

of us older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant.


BTW: Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found even cheaper ones

2 for $.99 at the dollar store, and bought them out in three of their

stores. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth from Lowe's,

to Home Depot, to Costco, etc.


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.)


Let's be safe out there...
