Default Warning, supermarket shopper scam targeting men!!

Here's warning of a new, very disturbing illegal scam aimed at supermarket shoppers.

Over the last couple of weeks I've become the victim of a clever confidence trick while out shopping. Simply going out to buy a few groceries from the local supermarket turned into a frustrating and traumatic experience. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you too!

Here's how the scam works?

On leaving the supermarket and nearing my car with my shopping, two very attractive young women in their late teens/early twenties approached me asking to clean my car for a small, discretionary tip. They then proceed to wash my car windows with a rag and some Windolene, almost immediately striking provocative poses, either bending over the car or flashing their cleavages by virtue of their extremely skimpy outfits. Basically you couldn't take your eyes off them.

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they ask whether, instead, you can give them a lift to the next supermarket so they can find new customers, at which point you feel obliged and so let them into your back seat. And here's the insidious part, on the way to the next supermarket they start 'making love' in the back of your car. Really! And if this weren't enough, one of them then climbs over into the front to perform an unspeakable act on you, while, cunningly, the other steals your wallet.

I have had my wallet stolen on October 14th, 19th and 21st, twice on the 24th and 26th, three times on the 28th, twice just yesterday, and very likely again this forthcoming weekend as soon as I'm able to buy more wallets.

Please pass this message on to all the unfortunate men like myself who just can't seem to escape this dreadful scam!!
