Older beware of this scam
Warning: Scam Against Older Men
Women often receive warnings about protecting themselves at shopping centres, dark car parks etc. This is the first warning I've seen for men. I wanted to pass it on in just in case. A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular customers at Bunnings, Mitre Ten or Aldi. This one caught me totally 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 nice-looking university aged girls will come over to your vehicle van when packing in your purchases. They both start wiping your windscreen with a rag and Rainex, with their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. (It's impossible not to look). When you thank them and offer a tip, they just say 'no' but then ask instead for a ride to McDonalds. You agree and they get in. 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 March 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, & 29th. Also April 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th & 27th and very likely again this upcoming weekend. So tell your friends to be careful. What a horrible way to take advantage of us older men. Warn your friends to be vigilant. Coles has wallets on sale for $3.50 each. I find even cheaper ones for $1.50 at Crazy Clarkes and bought them out in three of their stores. Also, you never get to eat at McDonalds. I've already lost 11 pounds just running back and forth between Bunnings, Mitre Ten etc. So please send this on to all the older men you know and warn them to be on the lookout for this scam.. (The best times are just before lunch and around 4:30 in the afternoon.) Please take this seriously and pass on. (Wallets are cheap at Coles)

Yes, I've heard of this scam before. The trick is to not carry cash, only canceled credit cards. One good scam deverves another.
