purse theft scam - beware

Purse Scam -- Beware



I don't know how many of you shop at Asda, but I became a victim of a clever scam while out shopping there. This happened to me and it could happen to you.

(Guys, pass this along to your wives & daughters)

HERE'S HOW THE SCAM WORKS:

Two seriously good-looking 23-year-old, well-built guys come over to your car as you are packing your shopping in the boot. They both are shirtless and start wiping your windscreen with a rag with their highly defined chest muscles and rock-hard abs exposed. It's impossible not to look. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say "No" and instead ask you for a lift somewhere. You pause, then agree and they get in the back seat. On the way, they start talking dirty about what they want to do to you. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and begins kissing your neck and begs you to pull over so he can make love to you! While this is going on the other guy steals your purse!!

I had my purse stolen last Tuesday, Wednesday, twice on Thursday, again on Saturday, and also yesterday and most likely tomorrow.

Watch Out!!

    Apparently at Waitrose it's Theo and Peter from Dragon's Den who get in the back.

    IF you get a call from the Chippendales manager saying hes got your purse and can you come to collect it, its a scam and whilst you go to get it your house will be burgled :)

    Good to see people admire my threads sooo much they have to make immitations- rather shoddy though...


    I know - Why don't we hurl as much abuse as we can at the OP and try and make it span over 12 pages?! Then perhaps we can make a new thread! Oh joy!!

    All right.

    OP: Your post is total carp.

    The two guys are aged 24, not 23. The car park was behind John Lewis's, not Asda.

    Stop posting rubbish on here, we're not gullible.



    Will that do?
