Attention! Home Depot Scam!!!

Home Depot Scam!!!!!

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 you or 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 they ask you
for a ride to another Home Depot or Lowe's. You agree and they
get in the back seat.

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 Feb 10th, 15th, 18th, twice on the 20th, 22nd,
25th, & 30th; also on Mar 1st, twice today, and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
So watch out and tell your friends to be careful.

I stopped shopping at Home Depot years ago, but I may have to reconsider that decision

davidkachel · 03-04-2007, 07:30 PM

I'm supposed to go out with my wife tonight, but to hell with that... there are four Home Depot's in my area!

I think I hurt myself laughing Hugh. My second will be calling your second.

Norm,

Maybe your T-shirt wasn't skimpy enough!?

Hugh · 03-05-2007, 05:46 PM

Or he had the wrong parts hanging out in the wrong places

davidkachel · 03-05-2007, 05:50 PM

Thanks Hugh! Now how do I get THAT picture out of my mind!@?

Ill have to load up on cheap velcro wallets with nothing in it except a $5. Five bucks definately seems worth it.
