Default HOME DEPOT HOLIDAY SEASON SCAM!!
Just wanted to make you all aware of a Home Depot Scam that I got
Caught up in.

Make sure it doesn't happen to you!

A "heads up" for those of you 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 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 or Lowe's.
You agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start kissing each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs "favors" on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL.....I have had my wallet stolen on November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, & 24th.
Also December 1st, 3rd, twice on the 7th, three times
Just yesterday and most likely again this upcoming weekend.

So PLEASE be careful, and make sure this does not happen to you!!
