I was sent this in an email by a male friend of mine and thought everyone should read this:
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 window cleaner, 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 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 March 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th & 28th. Also April 2nd & 4th, twice on the 8th, 9th, and three times last Saturday 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 Big Lots 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.....
P.S. ENJOY the laugh! Both my husband and I had a great big ol' belly laugh over this one!

HA HA HA!!! Thanks, enola! Both my husband and I had a good laugh at your response!
If your hubby isn't back soon, you'd better go check on him. I'm sure he'll be somewhere between Home Depot and McDonald's.

OMG, This is awful. I also go to Home Depot...I'm a lady so I don't think I have a reason to worry about this scam...unless they put a muscle guy in a muscle shirt out there doing my window, lol.

Now THERE'S a thought! Maybe, if the right guy sees this, it might give him an idea for a "scam" of his own! I'd head for Home Depot then, myself! LOL

HA! That's pretty funny and you had me fooled at first, thinking it was a real scam alert.
I like men who can laugh at themselves so I hope a man wrote this joke!

That's why the guy who sent this to me and I are friends. He has a great sense of humor and can laugh at himself. We worked together about 10 years ago and have remained friends ever since.
He's a real pervert, but an innocent one. LOL I wouldn't put it past him to have written this himself!

You know, you almost had me going. Funniest thing is, I work for Home Depot. Whole time I'm reading this, I'm thinking to myself, "why can't something like this happened in my store?"... I should be so lucky!?! That was funny, though... Ha ha ha

I'm glad you liked it. It was just too good not to share. I receive a lot of jokes in emails and I smile at some, chuckle at others, but this one had me rolling on the floor laughing!
I can thank my friend for sharing it with me. He's a member here but hasn't been active. I did ask him if I could share it here and he said sure. Happy Father's Day, Jim! (That's my friend.)
Hey, maybe you could print this out and post it somewhere in the store you work at (where the employees would see it, not the public) or just share it with your co-workers. They might get a kick out of it, too!

Ha! Ha! Ha! That is funny! I thought it was serious for a second, just a second mind you! At first I thought, “What an idiot how can he get scammed do many times…” Very good, needed the laugh today! Thanks!

AS IF? LIke some guys would be stupid enough to do it repeatedly, just so they will get to see them undressed, and crawling all over them.
Well, yeah, I bet the dummies would, too.
Funny mental, thanks for sharing.
You comin to my 'deletion party'? Huh? Are ya?

Nothing better than ending the week with a good laugh, huh? When I read this in my email, I almost peed in my pants, laughing so hard. I honestly thought it was serious... well, before I read it all the way.
If you knew my friend (AHEM, friend, get your butt back in here) this is so very typical of him and his humor. (He's one of my referrals but hasn't poked his head in here for a long time... well, he has poked his head in, just hasn't been active.)
Hope your weekend is great!
