More scams, this one @ Bunnings


A warning for those of you who may be regular Bunnings 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 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your purchases. 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 McDonald's. You agree and they get in the backseat.
 
On the way, they remove all of their clothes and start making out.  Then one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over you. She then takes off your pants and throws them into the backseat. While the one is keeping you distracted the other one steals your wallet.
 
 
I had my wallet stolen July 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, then again on the 17th, 20th, 24th & 29th. Also, August 1st, 7th, twice on the 8th, and again on the 16th, 23rd, 26th, 30th.  Then on September 6th, 11th, 14th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
 
So tell your friends to be careful.

P.S. Target has wallets on sale $2.99 each

No Rolly, just a head full. Or is that ahead full? Oops!
I'm a regular Bunning customer and nothing like that has ever happened to me, thank heavens.

On the other hand, no male equivalents have ever approached me either. Now I'm jealous and disappointed. And I was told by a clairvoyant my luck was changing.
He lied, it seems.

Here ya go DeBe:

euphemism
noun
a mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing : "downsizing" as a euphemism for cuts. The opposite of dysphemism .
ORIGIN late 16th cent.: from Greek euphemismos, from euphemizein 'use auspicious words,' from eu =well + pheme =speaking.


Ripped off the desk top dictionary.

I use it a lot.

CRAFT plays havoc with my spelling. furious

Desk top dictionary? Is that a down-loadable-piece of software or is it bundled with something else?

My Lawyering fees are not cheap Granny..............I have to warn you.

If I take the case, I want a guarantee that there will no Lawyer jokes from anyone. I do work pro-bono and when we win we'll take our fees out in Sausage sizzles from Bunnings. However I do require a small deposit of $25.000 which can be paid directly into my bank account (I am going to save this Goldfish one way or the other).

Looks like gold fish mouth to mouth. Don't forget you have to exhale or it's sashimi for you.
That bone you're working for will at least feed the dog.

If Rolly keeps up his elocution we may have to make him eat his words.
So keep them small Rolly. The big ones are hard to swallow.

How's that for ambiguity? Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls.

The one that I use is included in the Mac OS software.
I think that there are several available for windrows, but I don't know what they are.
I'd be surprised if there's not someone in this motley mob who can steer you right.

DeBe...............you are a constant disappointment to me . Mind you I shouldn't be too surprised...........anyone who will catch a snapper still wearing a nappy (I'm surprised you could get the hook past the dummy) would obviously have no sympathy for a poor Mongolian Fan-tailed Goldfish which requires open heart surgery.

Did he say which way it was changing?

I had an appointment with a fortune teller recently but due to unforeseen circumstances she had to cancel it. confuse

Richo, he didn't say how, nor when. Now I'm really up in the air.
I suppose eventually the prediction may come true.
