    I must be getting old. I thought I was quite "streetwise", but there's no
    fool like an old fool, as they say.
    Recently I became a victim of a clever 'Eastern European' scam whilst out
    shopping. I simply dropped into Tesco in Ashby for a bit of shopping and it
    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 voluptuous 20-21-year-old girls come over to your
    car as you are packing your shopping into the boot. They both start cleaning
    your windscreen. Their breasts are almost falling out of their skimpy
    T-shirts. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and
    instead ask you for a lift to another store, in my case, Tesco in
    Loughborough. You agree and they both get in the back seat. On the way, they
    start undressing and both get completely naked. Then, when you pull over to
    remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling
    all over your lap, kissing you, touching you and thrusting her breasts in
    your face, while the other one steals your wallet!
    I was unfortunate enough to have my wallet stolen on February 4th, 9th,
    10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, and 28th. Also on March 1st, twice on
    the 4th, three times yesterday in Northampton.
    So Be Warned!
    P.S. Tesco have wallets on sale for £1.99 each, but Lidl's are £1.75 and
    look better.

    Fortunatly looks like I'll be getting a refund, but I am absolutly gutted. MJ was part of growing up in the 80's. I remember being 9 years old and dancing to billie jean ( and fame by irene cara !) at the school disco. Part of my childhood has died today aswell.
