SCAM WARNING!

A warning for those friends, husbands and/or boyfriends 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 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 20-21year-oldgirls come over to your car as you are packing your lumber and hardware. 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 McDonald's. You agree and they get in the backseat.

 

On the way, they remove all of their clothes and start making out.

 

Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you.

 

She then takes off your pants and throws them into the backseat.

 

While the one is keeping you distracted the other one steals your wallet.

 

I had my wallet stolen August 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, then again on the 17th, 20th, 24th & 29th. Also, September 1st, 7th, twice on the 8th, and again on the 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th. Then on October 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

 

So tell your friends to be careful.

 

P.S. Target has wallets on sale $2.99 each, a 20% discount if you Buy 10 or more

I like your Home Depot scam better than the ones going on around here! My friend was approached by a hispanic male, my friend is a recent Chinese immigrant and is very trusting. The man asks him in broken english would he like to buy a Home Depot $200 gift card for $160 because he needed cash badly, he even takes my friend inside and has a clerk scan it to see how much money is on it. My friend gives him the money, and he then asks if he can use my friends cell phone. After he is done they part ways, little does my friend know that this person has his cell number. In a few days he starts getting calls from the hispanic man asking if he would like to buy more "gift cards" for discounted rates.

 

When he came and asked my why the man kept calling him I explained that he had inadvertantly been used as a "fence" and to please not answer this mans requests any longer. :idea:
