Home Depot scam - keep your eyes open for this one.
A 'heads up' for those guys who may be regular Home Depot customers. Over the
last month, I became the 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 seriously good-looking 20-something girls come over
to your car as you are packing your shopping into the
trunk. They both start cleaning your windshield with a rag
and Windex, 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 ask you for a ride to
another Home Depot instead. 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.
I had my wallet stolen May 4th, 9th, 10th, twice
on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th and 29th. Also June 1st,
4th, twice on the 8th, 10th, 11th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, and very likely again this upcoming weekend. So tell your friends to be careful.
P.S. Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99
