| 1418380 | 2016-03-30 00:10:00 | . . A New Scam Targeting Older Men: Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at Shopping Centres and in dark car-parks etc, but this is the first warning I have seen for men. I wanted to pass it on in case you haven't heard about it. It is a salutory warning to those men who may be regular customers at Bunnings, Mitre 10, or Placemakers; and it is fast spreading to Countdown, Pack 'n Save and other popular supermarkets. This one caught me totally by surprise: Over the last month I became a victim of a clever carpark scam, and for me simply going out to do a little shopping 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 nice-looking, university-aged girls will come over to your car or van as you are putting your purchases into your vehicle. They both start wiping your windscreen with a cloth and window cleaner, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. (It's impossible not to look). When you thank them and offer them some money, they say 'No' but instead ask for a ride to McDonald's and invite you to have bite with them. You agree, and they climb into your vehicle. On the way, they start undressing, then one of them starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet. I had my wallet stolen on January 2nd & 9th, then twice on the 15th, and again on the 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also February 6th & 7th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, March 3rd & 17th, and very likely again this upcoming weekend. It is a dreadful way to take advantage of us older men, so warn your friends to be vigilant. P.S. The Warehouse has wallets on sale for $3.50 each, but. I found even cheaper ones for $1.50 at a 2 Dollar Shop and bought them out in three of their stores. Also, you never actually get to eat at McDonald's, but I've already lost 8 kG just running back and forth from Bunnings, Mitre Ten, etc. Please, send this on to all the older men that you know and warn them to be on the lookout for this scam. The best times to shop are just before midday and around 4:30pm! ******************************** A sad·looking guy goes into a Bar and starts drowning his sorrows. After his fifth drink, he says to the Bartender: "You know Man, I had it ALL!! A huge house....The finest cars....a multi-million dollar stock portfolio......and the love of a beautiful woman. Then, *BAM!* just like that, it was ALL gone!!!!" The Bartender says "That's awful, what the heck happened ??!!??!!" The guy says "My wife found out about the beautiful woman" ******************************** A married couple were sitting in a fine restaurant when the wife looks over at a nearby table and sees a man in a drunken stupor. Her husband asks: "I notice you've been watching that man for some time now, do you know him?" "Yes" she replies, "He's my ex-husband, and he has been drinking like that ever since I left him, seven years ago." "That's remarkable" her husband replies, "I wouldn't think anybody could celebrate that long." Cheers Billy 8-{) :) |
