This is serious.. please BEWARE!
Over the last month I have become a victim of a clever 'Eastern European' scam while out shopping. Simply dropping into Asda's for a bit of shopping 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 cleaning your windscreen, their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. It's impossible not to look especially as this cold weather is making it very obvious they're not wearing anything underneath.
When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead ask you for a lift to another store (in my case up the road to Tesco.) You agree and they get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing. Then, when you arrive in the car park, and stop to remonstrate, 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 on January 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th. Could not find them on the 10th. Found them again on the 12th, 13th, 14th, twice on the 15th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this coming weekend.
So Be Warned!
P.S. Lidl have wallets on sale for £2.99 each

Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

That's too bad mate. These people need to be stopped. I'm off to my local Asda to see if they're here too. I have printed off a list of all the Asda stores local to here and I'll be visiting them .... just to warn others of course

Before the war on terror, if I saw an unattended package I used to think "I'll be having that!"

My wife sent me a similar e mail a while back,(not the one tastefully edited for our forum), fearing that I might be particularly vulnerable to this scam. She doesn't even need an accomplice to get my wallet. Sadly, sometimes she even forgoes the clawing part.
