Title: Christmas Shoppers BEWARE
Post by: Overloaded on December 23, 2008, 11:35:17 AM

Be careful when shopping at Home Depot. This is a "heads up" for men who may be regular Home Depot customers like me.

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 to your friends.

Here's how the scam works:

Two very HOT 20 something girls come over to your car or truck in the parking lot as you are unloading your shopping cart into your trunk or the bed of your pickup truck. 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 they ask you for a ride to another Home Depot. Of course you agree, and they get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing in your car or the cab of your truck. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen on November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 11th, 12th, 19th, 20th, and 30th. Also on December 1st and 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, three times this Saturday and very likely again this week.

So tell your friends to be careful.

P.S. Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $1.99 each

 :D You are probably right Ed.
But there would be 3 chains.
One for the wallet and one each for my neck and ankle. :)
Merry Christmas to you and Dracula.

At the store there was a Big X by the register for me to stand on…
I’ve seen too many Road Runner cartoons to fall for that one.
