Over the last month a friend of mine 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.
I checked this out at Snopes.com and it is for real.
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 another Home Depot. You agree and they get in the backseat. 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, the 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also October 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
So tell your friends to be careful. I hope my friend learned his lesson.
Gee, the same thing happened to me when I was in the Target parking lot, except this time it was two hunky young guys wearing Speedos. After they dazzled me with their pulchritudinous masculinity, they stole my purse. And dang if it didn’t happen again the next day, and the day after that, and all the next week. I have run out of purses, but fortunately they sell 'em at Target.
Let’s see…umm…there is a logical inconsistency here with your pronouns…
option 1: You are still learning English, and get confused between “I” and “his”.
option 2: my bad. there is no logical problem, you are simply informing us that you are your own best friend, and therefor “my wallet” and "his lesson, or “my lesson” and “his wallet” do not contradict.
A few years ago I borrowed $100 from a buddy of mine. When I went to his house to pay him back, he had run an errand but was going to be returning soon. His wife, who had some of the nicest jugs I had ever seen told me I could come in and wait for him. While waiting I just could not get my eyes off his wife’s boobs. I finally worked up the nerve to ask her if I could see her boobs, I would even give her $100. To my surprise she agreed, raised her shirt and gave me an eyeful. After 5 minutes I told her I had to go so I gave her the money. She told me she would tell Dave I stopped by, I told her to tell Dave I gave her the money I owed him.
I am not sure who you can call the scam artist. Every time I go to Home Depot, I carry a throwaway wallet with only $10 in it. I don’t buy anything. I just wait in the parking lot until the ladies in question show up. It never fails. Those times are the best damn $10 I ever spent. I couldn’t even get a Mexican day laborer for that.
