    A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular Home Depot customers.

    This one caught me 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 seriously good-looking 20-21 year-old girls come over to your jeep as
    you are forcing your supplies into the limited space. They both start wiping
    your windshield with a rag and Windex, they have real low rise shorts and tiny skimpy T-shirts.
    It is impossible not to look.

    After desperately trying and failing to get the mud and bugs off you offer them a tip, they say 'No' and instead ask you for a ride to McDonalds. You agree and they get into 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 September 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th & 29th. Also October 1st & 4th, twice on the 6th, 8th, 10th, & 11th, three times this morning and very likely again tomorrow.

    So tell your friends to be careful.

    P.S. Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for 2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for $1.99 at K-Mart and bought them out. Also, you never will get to eat at McDonalds. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth to Home Depot.
    No More GTP for me.

    What? You fell for the scam 19 times? Are you mentally handicapped or something?
    Three times in one day? Are you kidding me? This can't be for real

    LOL, if they are as hot as you say they are, I might be inclined to just buy a bunch of three dollar wallets and get back in line over and over just as you did.
