Men: Beware of this scam!

A friend in southern Colorado sent me this e-mail warning...

"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 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 ask you for a ride to McDonald's.

"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 February 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 25th, 27th & 28th. Also March 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, four times on the 23rd, 26th & 30th, three times last Monday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

"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 Target 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."

You are a legend in your own time. Your name that will go down in history books will be "Gus the Wallet".Just think of it ...you will live on forever in American folklore. Also by purchasing all those wallets you will be Pres. Obama's literally "in your pocket" stimulus package.
