Something to look out for chaps, even if you aren't too old!
Warning: Scam Against Older Men - a lot of men have been caught.
Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at shopping
centres and in dark car parks 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 B & Q, Screwfix,
or even Tesco. 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 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 good-looking, university-aged girls will come over to your car or van as
you are packing your purchases into your vehicle. They both start wiping your
windscreen with a rag and screen wash, with their breasts 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 on October 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th,
24th, & 29th. Also November 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th &
27th, 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.
Tesco has wallets on sale for £2.99 each. I found even cheaper ones for 99p
at the Pound Shop and I bought their entire stock.
Also, you never get to eat at McDonald's. I've already lost 11 pounds just
running back and forth from B & Q, to Screwfix, to Tesco etc.
So please, send this on to all the older men that you know and warn them to
be on the lookout for this scam. (The best times are just before lunch and
around 4:30 in the afternoon.)
Please take this seriously and pass on.
