I got scammed...

OldBuzzard · Jul 16, 2008, 04:26 PM

I’m a major skeptic of most of the scam alerts you see on the internet, but then I got scammed myself. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you. This scam has cost me a lot of money.

Here's how the scam went down. When I came out of Home Depot the other day, two drop dead gorgeous 20-something year-old girls came over to my car while I was loading my shopping cart into my trunk. They both were wearing very low cut tops, push up bras, bare mid-drifts, and mini skirts with very low waistbands. They said their car wouldn’t start and that they had been in the hot sun for a couple of hours and hadn’t had anything to drink and asked me if I could drop them off at Wal-Mart where they could buy a bottle of water and a friend would pick them up. What the hell, Wal-mart was only 3/4 mile down the road and I was going that direction anyways, and they seemed to be really sweet girls, so I agreed to give them a ride. One of them climbed in the front seat and the other in the back and then the one in the front crossed her legs and that little skirt slid up nearly showing it all, she mumbled something about it being too hot and undid her top blouse button and fanned herself. Holy smokes! It was impossible to not look. As soon as I pulled into the Wal-Mart parking lot the girl in front cozied up to me, gushed with thanks, wrapped her hands around me and pulling my face down into her chest, gave me a kiss on the forehead and a tight hug. Then they got out of the car, waved and walked off. A few minutes later I realized that while the girl in the front seat was distracting me, the girl in the backseat stole my wallet.

Since then I have had my wallet stolen on June 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th & 29th. Also July 1st , 4th, three times last Saturday and very likely it will be stolen again this upcoming weekend. So spread the word and be careful! Don’t fall for this scam.

Was asked to take some pictures with some girls from BC yesterday when I was at the SGI Salvage compound so this sort of thing happens. When I asked what the one girl hit she said her boy friend so I guess I could have left one girl firend richer but heck, wouldn't take advantage of such sweet honey pies like that now would I, here is the best one.

One on the left's the one I had my eye on, but she was too shy for me so I guess I just left it at that, pictures. Oh and there were some taken with me in there as well but I wouldn't post those now would I, sorry about the image quality, I was using my phone's camera. (Nokia 5310)

Edit: I will post my picture soon (everyone eventually does

) but as yet I'm still waiting for the full moon and need to get a little more beauty/ugly sleep.

OldBuzzard · Jul 18, 2008, 05:06 PM

Well, in an effort to keep from losing my wallet, Ive started keeping it my front pocket.

Unfortunately, they are still still managing to steal it

However, the experience is much more interesting now

mos2k · Jul 18, 2008, 05:13 PM

the front pocket that most people call a "zip" or a "fly" perhaps ?

IvanV · Jul 18, 2008, 06:00 PM

Hehehe, I thought that it was real and I was waiting for the point where they would pull out a concealed weapon and rob you, like in those series about crime in Russia, but this was better.

Callandor << Cute girls, only they look quite young (especially the one on the left), don't get yourself into trouble (that is, don't leave evidence such as pictures carelessly posted on the web

).

Falstaff · Jul 18, 2008, 08:32 PM

the front pocket is where OB keeps his cell phone, or is he just happy to see those hootchies all the time..LOL

OldBuzzard · Jul 18, 2008, 09:03 PM

Hey, a cell phone set to VIBRATE, is good for more than just making phone calls

I know, she's actually 19, lied to me and told me she's 20 and a half first but I knew, you should see my friend's girlfriend and one of my exes, some girls look much younger than they actually are, some not all.

Edit: Some guys too, and the funny thing is that most really short young looking girls like to play the innocent/cutsie card, I can't stand that, like girls who are more experienced/confident.
