Walmart Scam

Do you shop at WalMart Read about the Nationwide scam!

BE WARNED!

I don’t how many of you shop at WalMart, but this may be useful to know.
I am sending this to you to warn you of something that happened to me, as I have become a victim of a clever scam whilst out shopping.
This happened to me at WalMart in Orlando and it could happen to you.
Here’s how the scam works:
Two seriously good-looking 18-year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping in the trunk. They both start wiping your windscreen with a rag and Windolene, with their chests 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 WalMart.
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 starts kissing you, while the other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen last Friday, Saturday, twice on Sunday, again on Tuesday, and also yesterday.

Actually, I think the thread was closed in about 10 minutes time, and yes, you did clean it up.

Where did you get your supply of wallets, Wal-Mart or an online wholesaler. LOL

Obviously you don't learn from your doing, instead you learn by repition.

Once would have been enough for most, but it took you 7 wallets to figure it out.
