Exclamation Home Depot Scam... Please beware!

A "heads up" for those of you who may be regular Home Depot customers.



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 your friends.

Here's how the scam works: Two seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk. 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 another Home Depot or Lowe's. You agree and they get in the backseat.

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 November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, & 24th. Also December 1st, 3rd, twice on the 7th, three
times just yesterday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.



Please tell your friends to be careful

This is unbelievable

Are you trying to tell (us) that you`ve had your wallet stolen (15) times and you`re still letting the Girls into your veh... Unbelievable
These must be a couple irresistable Babes... (15) times, not twice... (15)

Hey, you weren't supposed to let that out of the bag. My wife read that and now my weekend is ruined. Some guys just don't know when to shut up.

Maybe this was a Joke thread, some of our members have a strange sense of humor. If it is,(a joke) the boy who cried wolf comes to mind.
The story sounded pretty straight forward, and had a caution symbol in front.
That`s something that should not be done, how will we know when it`s a real caution ?

It's a statement that goes both ways, read it as a joke and/or as a caution. If you get scammed, it would seem the joke is on you.
