Be aware...be very aware.



A "heads up" for you and any friends 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.



Here's how the scam works:



Two seriously good-looking 18 or 19-year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk.

They both start wiping your windshield down with a rag and Windex, 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. You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start having sex with each other.

Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I have had my wallet stolen November 4th, 9th, and 10th.
Twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, and 28th.


Three times just yesterday.

And likely again this upcoming weekend or as soon as I can buy some more wallets.

I've been to all local Home Depot in San Diego area hoping to get victimized by these felons. No luck at all .
Maybe they moved to Lowe's . FS: Men's Wallets 12 available.
