exclamation Home Depot Scam
A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular Home Depot customers. This one caught me by surprise.

Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out, very traumatic. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends. Here's how the scam works:

Two good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your supplies 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. 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 McDonalds. 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.

Now I've had my wallet stolen June 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th & 29th. Also July 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 10th, 13th, 16th & 22nd, August 1,3,7,9, 15th & three times this morning, and very likely again tomorrow. So tell your friends to be careful.

P.S. Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for 2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for $1.99 at K-Mart and bought them out. Also, you never will get to eat at McDonalds. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth to Home Depot.

Be careful out there!!!

Re: Home Depot Scam
Wow, that's still happening? I think the same thing also happened to Falstaff a couple of years ago. Still, thanks for a reminder, I might actually make a trip to the Home Depot myself one of these days and possibly become yet another victim.

I bet you buy the wallets just so they can come and steal them...I have to admit, that amount of times looks like carelessness lol

Re: Home Depot Scam
I'm going to go there with a wallet packed with condoms... The rest is (Or will be) history.
