Beware of this Home Depot scam.
A "heads up" for you and any of your friends who may be regular Home Depot customers. Over the last month I became the victim of a clever scam whilst out shopping. Simply going out to get hardware 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 18 or 19 year old girls come over to your car as you are loading your stuff into the car.

They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and soapy water 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 back seat.

On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and performs oral sex on you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen January 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, three times just yesterday, and very likely again this upcoming weekend as soon as I can buy some more wallets.

5. I'm sure if you set up a donation box
at work or in your driveway, people would readily donate their used wallets to your cause!

I'd hate to see you go broke :rofl:

11. Thanks for the warning - I was planning on heading there this weekend
Though, I'd be pretty upset if anybody tossed water on my car this coming weekend - it's supposed to be frigid here in CT.
