A ‘heads up’ warning for all men who may be regular Builders Warehouse 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 very hot 20-21 year-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot.
They both start wiping your windshield with a rag and WindoLene 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 Builders Warehouse.
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 December 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, & 24th 29th.
Also January 1st, 4th, twice on the 8th, 9th, 12th, 15th, three times last Saturday and very likely again this upcoming weekend.
So tell your friends to be careful.
P.S. Mr Price has wallets on sale R25.99 each
Hahaha, there’s a Builders Warehouse up the road from me, I wonder if I would ever be so lucky :D
Haha you joke, or not – I dunno :), but a number of years back there were 2 extremely attractive ladies 19 or 20 that would stand by the major intersections in Pta and then later JHB. Their routine would be to come up to your window and tell you a quick sob story about running out of petrol and then ask for R40/R50 to fill up their car, obviously I obliged… a couple of times.
I notice you didn’t divulge which Builder’s Warehouse this happened at or which one you dropped them off at… I am sure the people would like to know which BW’s to avoid? :P
On a more serious note I am confused as to why Wezz would simply give R40-R50 numerous times to 2 pretty ladies when all they did was chat to him through a car window at a traffic light? Or did you ‘drive’ them to a petrol station too?
I have seen these people at traffic lights and heard their sad sob stories of running out of fuel (although none of them were very good looking) and it’s a scam to get money for anything but petrol… Your best bet would be to drive the petrol-less-ness person to the nearest petrol station and buy the fuel for them. That way you know that you’re getting them what they ‘want’ and your money is not funding their drug abuse? Assuming you would have time to do that anyway…
@Wezz – This is just a joke from my side, but with regards to what you say, I can believe that mate, the number of times I’ve had interesting people with really great stories ask me for money is scary. Kloof road takes the cake for these scams!
Well I gave a small amount R10/R20 if I remember correctly, it was the Atterbury N1 on-off ramp Pta – the petrol station is literally 30 meters up the road. So no need to give them a lift. I was a little pissed off when they asked the second time a couple of days later, obviously I worked out it was a scam, and I think I just gave them cash saying “OK this is the last time!”.
Then driving away thinking “I should have at least asked for their numbers”.
Ahahahah Wezz, you definitely should have!
Hilarious! :)
Hahahaha shame your wallet has been jacked a number of times. Rather next time you go to Builder’s Warehouse take a wallet spend all the money and the girls get nothing
LOL this wouldn’t work with me! The wallet would be empty so in a sense it would be a win for me :P
Haha, that would be a wise way to handle the situation!
Hey, the way you described the two girls makes me want to offer them a permanent job. My windscreen is verrrry dirty, but it’s nothing compared to my mind.
Home improvement can be so rewarding in so MANY ways!!!
Haha, good one Graham :)
When someone gets caught by a scam, they learn from experience. What sent you back 19 times to enjoy the experience over and over ? This sounds like a story by a patient from a mental asylum.
How come it never happens to me????????
Ye Ian, I thought the same thing!
Ha ha ha! Very good – enjoyed this one :) Am sure you can find cheaper wallets tho’ :) Thanks for the smiles!
ru serious??? how stupid can you get ? SO you had your wallet stolen on ALL these occassions and it didnt occur to you that it was a scam til event number 10???? You must have really liked the attention you were getting. that, or you really like shopping at BW!
Mh, O take it its an add for Mr P for cheap wallets!
Zee, please tell me you kidding, you know his joking right!!!!!!
I had my wallet stolen December 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, & 24th 29th.

you are very lucky
Everyone’s being quite kind and not mentioning that you had your wallet taken 19 times! (And counting!?) Surely once would be enough not to fall for it again…
Haaa – You guys are such SUCKERS !!!!!!!!!!!!
Well u certainly dont seem to mind – couple of overlapping dates there? (pun intended).. must be the wallet special @ mr price then -
wow serious ?? do people not get this joke????
it is a JOKE people his wallet was not really stolen 19 times
bliksem
A load of Bull Shit, you must be short on sense to fall for the same thing so many times and did your wallets have bucksin them or empty?? It looks as if you wanted it to happen for entertainment, if it actually happened??
And you let the girls into the car…….how many times. Well it seems to imply this with the number of times your wallet was stolen
your are the greatest joke i know,to go back for more???????????????
Chris you must a be right prat. Not only do you get caught so many times but you actually admit it and even more stupid you broadcast it on the web. Your a right pillock, obviously your brains are in your balls.
@Victor – The post isn’t about me, prat.
