B & Q Scam!! Beware!!!
 
A 'Heads Up' for those of us men who may be regular B & Q customers.
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 shopping into the boot. They both start wiping
your
windscreen 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 another B & Q store or Homebase.


You agree and they get in 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 November 10th, 17th, twice on the 24th,
December 1st, 8th and very likely this coming weekend. So tell your
friends to be careful.

Did not want to mention it on here, but i have been scammed aswell! So beware, it is very easy to get caught with your trousers down on this one. I just seem to keep falling for the same old scam trick, six times in total now, but whats worst, the same bloody girls!:)

Thanks for the heads-up, I'll be sure to leave my wallet at home!

Another cautionary tale:

I was in Bunnings Warehouse the other day, wondering around the garden furniture section when a sales assistant asked me if I wanted decking. No messing about! Thankfully, I got the first punch in!

I was also in Bunnings yesterday when someone asked me if I needed help.

I was flabbergasted.

"I know I look like I need help.... but can't you pretend and ask someone else first:p"

I was in Bunnings yesterday too at Edgewater............ i bought 3 sheets of MDF about 8 foot long by 4 feet wide.............. and 1 inch thick. Wheeled them out on a trolley thingy................ then struggled for ages to get them in the vehicle. No-one from Bunnings available to render assistance............ and to all you passers by in the car-park........... thanks for nothing as you saw me contemplating a balancing and juggling act.

Purchased $1,000 worth of shelving last week at Bunnings Mindarie .......... couldn't get anyone to even help me lift it off the shelf onto a trolley......... so i didn't bother I just left it and went home.

Tried their Edgewater store............. but they had nil stock. So we had to go to Mindarie................. took 2 of the lads with me as these storage units are heavy and chance of getting staff at Bunnings to help are zilch.
