>>>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 Lowe's, Home
  Depot, Costco, or even Wal-Mart. 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 nice looking, college-age girls will come over
  to your car or truck as you are packing your purchases into your vehicle.
  They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, 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 Dec. 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, again on the
  17th, 20th, 24th, and the 29th. Also Jan. 1st, 4th, 8th, twice on the 16th
  &17th, 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.
>>>
>>>Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found even cheaper ones for
  $.99 at the Dollar Store and bought them out in three of their stores. Also,
  you never get to eat at McDonald's. I've already lost 11 pounds just running
  back and forth from Lowe's, to Home Depot, to Wal-Mart.
>>>
>>>So please, send this on to all the retired 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.)
