    Over the last month I have become a victim of a clever 'Eastern European' scam whilst out shopping.
    Simply dropping into Sainsbury's supermarket for a bit of shopping turned out to be quite an experience. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends! Here's how the scam works:
    Two very good-looking 20-21 year-old girls of eastern European origin 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. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead they ask you for a lift to another supermarket, in my case, Tesco. You agree and they both get in the back seat.
    On the way there, they start undressing, until both are completely naked. Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you intimately and thrusting herself against you, while the other one steals your wallet!
    I had my wallet stolen on October 4th, 9th,10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th and 29th. Also on November 1st, 4th, 6th, 9th and 10th and twice yesterday.So please warn all the older men you know to be on the lookout for this scam.
    The best times seem to be just before lunch and about 4:30 in the afternoon.
    P.S. Aldi have cheap wallets on sale for £1.99 each but Lidl wallets are £1.75 and look better!!

        You decided it was a scam because (two of your reasons) they wouldn't ask a friend to do a 130 mile round trip to drop off money, or the middle class couple wouldn't hitch 130 miles one way to get some cash before (presumably) hitching 130 miles back the other way since they don't have a car at 10pm at night? I mean, why waste 30 minutes asking strangers to be kind when you could waste 4-5 hours sitting in a car with someone you don't know until 3am, lol.

        I wasn't there, so it's impossible to tell, but if it had bells on I'd have just said 'no, sorry, bye' but if I bought it I'd have asked them to take the car round and I'd have brimmed it for them and exchanged details.

        It's a lot of effort for someone to go through to get a fiver from some tight b*stard, so even if it was a scam then I would have thought 'fair ****s to them, standing at 10pm, in January, in the middle of nowhere begging strangers with a decent story. At least they're not robbing houses'.

            Oh come on Sidrick, this is a con ha ha. If they already raised 15quid, they can get 3 gallons in their car and it is not going to be totally empty. Steady driving is going to get them most of the way or at least within "raise help from friends" distance.

            Also, why has she not got any money? A straight up honest person would definitely take details to offer to return the cash that was lent. Also, if I was in that position, I would deffo go the petrol station, bang in some fuel and then go up to the counter and tell them I had lost my wallet somehow, give them my reg etc and settle up when I returned home.

            The woman is on the scrounge big time. She could at least have got her norks out.

              Whatever the case here folks sadly there will be much more of it to come with Britain on it's knees and far too many people going to food banks because they cannot afford to live.Everyone thinks London is stinking rich Yeah there's loads of rich oligarchs in central London Yet 7 out the 10 hardest up councils/boroughs in the whole of UK are in London.

              Don't argue folks, just because you don't agree with me .....this was reported on Panorama last night! Many children going to school in the capital without food in their stomachs so they cannot concentrate and there have even been reports of children passing out in class with Malnutrition. Some people on this forum should be thankful that their only problem is what turbo to get when they might spare a thought for people less well of than they are. Hear goes i (you) today but what will tomorrow bring you?

                How many people in proper poverty drive a 2.4 litre non diesel car?

                I agree with what you are saying though. Far too many people in this country getting a rough ride when a minority swim in the own money without paying proper dues. The place is screwed up. Nobody could argue with that.
