On my old Mustang forum I found this post and thought I would share.

A new scam targeting older men:

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.

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 nice looking, college-age girls will come over to your 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 Dec 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, again on the 17th, 20th, 24th, and the 29th. Also Jan 1st, 4th, 8th, twice on the 16th &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.

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. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth from Lowe's, to Home Depot, 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.)

 

ROTFLMAO!!! Great one!

 

LOL! I knew there was a reason every home project takes 4 or 5 trips to HD....

 

I sure hope this scam makes it to Australia. Never thought I'd say that sentence.

 

Shoot, I just remembered that I need to get something at Lowe's. I guess I had better head over around lunch time to get that taken care of.

 

So '53, was this in the Fantasy Project section of the Mustang forum?

 

I guess that I need to be careful, I poop at Lowes a lot.

 

That's a hoot!

 

I don't have none of them stores up here.

 

Canada as well cause summer's almost over , and I don,t see this being much fun with girls in parkas

 

I heard that's All "The Squaws Along The Yukon" wear.

 

But the parkas apparently come off pretty quickly, according to what I've read...

This is serious guys. Be prepared...

 

Headed to Lowe's now.

 

Naw. The parka stays on to keep her back side from freezing to the ground.

This ain't The Club and we may get flamed here shortly.

 

I say this post is a scam!!! I've gone to the three big home improvement this weekend multiple times and not once have I been approached my anyone in the parking lot, male or female.

I say this "myth" is
