Be on the lookout: Scam victimizing older men

Received this scam report from a friend. Don't know if others have seen it already.

Out of caution for your safety, I post it here:

*****************************************************

Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and in dark parking lots, etc., but this is the first warning I have seen for men. I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it, especially if you are a regular customer at Lowe's, Home Depot, Costco, BJ's, and even Wal-Mart. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while simply going out to get supplies and it could easily happen to you.

Here's how the scam works:

Two nice-looking, college-aged girls come over to your car or truck as you are loading your vehicle. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their . . . torsos . . . 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 hop in.

On the way, they start . . . disrobing . . .. Then one of them starts. . . . hugging . . . . all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen January 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also February 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 20th, and very likely again this upcoming weekend

.

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 at the Dollar Store.

As you would expect, 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 Costco, etc. Please share this with all the older men to be on the lookout for this scam. (The best times are just before lunch and around 4:30 in the afternoon)
