Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at the mall and in dark parking lots, etc. This is the
 first warning I have seen for men. I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it. This will only become
more commonplace as the weather cools.
 
A heads up for those men who may be regular Lowe's, Home Depot, or Sam's 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-something 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, its 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 September 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also October 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd,
 24th & 26th, three times today and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
 
 So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of older men. Warn your friends to be  vigilant.
 
 Wal-Mart has wallets on sale for $2.99 each. I found cheaper ones for $1.99 at Dollar General and bought them out.
Also, you never will get to eat at McDonald's. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth to Lowe's, Home Depot, and Sam's.

I believe a scam like this could happen but why would it happen more than once with the same guy?

The victim needs a medal for this new type of crime prevention.  Just think of all of the potential victims that he saved.  I was really impressed with his dedication when he saved two men in the same day from this fate.  Where's the medals?
