Old men beware!
This is a scam that is becoming quite prevalent and something that older men need to be aware of. So as a public service I am posting this in the hope it will prevent other men from suffering the way I suffered. Unfortunately, I had to learn this the hard way.
Scam on Older Men
Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and in dark parking lots, etc. This is the first warning I have seen for men. I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it. A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular customers at Rona, Lowes and Home Depot. This is the victims story;
This one caught me totally by surprise. Over the last month I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping. Simply going out to get groceries and “stuff” has turned out to be quite traumatic. Don't be naïve enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.
Here's how the scam works; Two nice looking, university-age girls will come over to your car as you are packing your purchases into your vehicle. They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, with their unmentionables 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 climb into the vehicle. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen August 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, the 17th, 20th, 24th, and the 29th and again on Sept 1st, 4th, 8th, twice on the 16th and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of us older men.
Warn your friends to be vigilant. Walmart has wallets on sale for 12.99 each. I found even cheaper ones for 99c at the Dollarama and bought them out in three of their stores. Also, you never get to eat at McDonald's. I've already lost 4 kilos just running back and forth from Home Depot, Lowes and Superstore. So please, send this on to all the older men that you know and warn them to be on the lookout for this scam.
