Default Home Depot Scam

Thought I'd better alert you to this scam. Be careful...you could be next.

A warning for men who may be regular Home Depot customers. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. 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 girls in their mid-20's in shorts and tank tops come over to your car as you are loading your car. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, leaning over the windshield. 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 Lowe's. You agree and they get in 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 June 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th and 24th. Also three times just yesterday and very likely this coming weekend. So tell your friends to be careful.

Target is a good place for cheap wallets.
