      Home Depot Scam. Watch out!

      Be Careful - A 'heads up' for 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 naïve enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.

      Here's how the scam works:

      Two very hot 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your stuff 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 they ask you for a ride to Lowes. 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 April 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th & 29th. Also May 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

      So tell your friends to be careful.

      Also, Walmart has wallets on sale 2.99 each.

      Man, this scam is old.













      I think I'm supporting China with all the wallets I've lost. ;)

      Do you still believe in all the things that you stood by before? Are you out there on the front lines, or at home keeping score?
      Do you care to be the layer of the bricks that seal your fate? Would you rather be the architect of what we might create?

      Well, I'm here to report the scam is real. I waited in the HD parking lot all day, and sure enough...

      If anyone needs to get in touch with me tonight, I'll be at Home Depot...

      old scam joke... but still funny everytime i hear it. Its not the wallets you have to worry about, its the keys to the car, explaining to your wife how these cars keep getting stolen and why you need to buy another one
