View Full Version : New Scam: BEWARE.........
Subj: New Scam.
A 'heads up' for those men who may be regular Lowe's, Home Depot, or Costco customers. This one caught me 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 seriously good-looking 20-something girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the trunk.They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and Windex, 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 McDonalds.
You agree and they get into the back seat. On the way, they start undressing. Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you, while the other one steals your wallet.
I had my wallet stolen April 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th,17th & 20th. Also March 1st & 4th, twice on the 8th, 16th, 23rd, 26th & 28th, three times last Monday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.

Oldie but goody...
But, that's why I carry several wallets!!! AHAHAHA.

lol good one![Beer]
Up until the end of that, I was thinking "what's so bad about this....?" :)
And which Lowes are you going to
Curious minds do inquire! I want that info as well! lol.
This is what I get for supporting Ace Hardware.
Time to completely derail thread since we are talking Home Depot, Lowe's, Ace Hardware, etc...
Anyone know of a place where I can get a computer key? A physical key, not a WINdows CD code or anything.
Looks like those old school handcuff keys with the circular opening on teh end and the skeleton key tumbler.... Hard to describe...
Same sort of key you'd use for some small handgun safes, cash boxes, Laptop/bicycle security chains, etc....
I think they are usually referred to as coke machine keys, I might have a box of them lying around if I haven't ditched them.

Hmm... Haven't heard that name yet. I'm going to have to go look at a Coke machine now. If you do have an extra, send me a PM and name your price. I need it for my computer tower. Tried picking, but with only two hands, it was too hard to hold all four tumblers while turning the mast. So I'll break down and get a key.

A hammer and a punch will pick those pretty fast too.

Rgr, but I don't want to damage this tower, it's the one I get to build my new comp with (after like 5 years without one!!!).... if I can get the wife to release the funds.... grrrrr.

I'll look and see if they are still at my office, that's from pretty old computer equipment so we might have dumped them. If I do have them, though, you can have them for free, you're the first person needing one that I've met in four or five years.
Called an "Ace" key
BOOOM! Thank you Sir. Soon as I heard that I remembered like it was on the tip of my toungue.
Ranger, no worries friend. Now that I now the name, I've located a source. Thank you.

Cool! See, us redneck southerners don't know actual names for things, only references to other ways we can nefariously use the item :).

I feel you there. Sometimes they come out pretty nicely. I used a pull hammer on a trunk once to get some keys out there and it only needed one pull too.
Smashing things is fun so don't be afraid to try it when your done.

Heh, I used to have those... the really old-school IBM cases had them. That's the reason I bought lock picks and learned how to use 'em.
They're not all that difficult to pick if you need to, look for videos on youtube, and you'll be able to usually do it with a small screwdriver and a paper clip.

Take a piece of fat and slide off!

And, if your household is anything like mine and you go ahead and spend the $$ without her approval she'll release the hounds instead!
I know I'm bad with money, so one of the first things we did before we even got married was to sit down and I told her EVERYTHING about my finances, spending habits, debts, school loans, what I'd like in the future (I'm a simple guy) etc and we came up with a plan to deal with it....
Basically, what she says goes, and she holds onto the cards/etc. She only had one thousand dollars in debt when we married and that was due to a medical expense she had. She is a genius with the funds.
Now I'm not a kid, this is just for big ticket items (40 inch TV, new car, firearms, etc).
I still have "my money" that I use for whatever I want, usually gas, dates (with teh wife duh), etc.

Not yet.....

No. But if they ever change that 30 sec wait between post I might have the attention span to compete.
Eeew a kitty.
Since there are more hi jackers in this thread then hostages I thought I would mention that I'm working on getting my lights turned back on. Wish me luck! A pox on Xcel for thinking I won't just have a generator set up for the next time the power goes out for any reason.
