    Serious Scam Warning

    Generally, I hate the warnings that get sent around but I have to admit
    that this one is important.



    Please protect everyone you know by sending this to your entire email
    list.





    If someone comes to your front door and says they are conducting a
    survey and asks you to show them your bum, DO NOT show them your bum.



    This is a scam. They only want to see your bum.



    I wish I'd got this yesterday

    Look - if you get your kicks by knocking on peoples doors and asking to see their bums then don't blame me for putting it on a public forum

    They'd probably found out they were the only person within 50 miles who hadn't seen it

    Thanks Witty. Having a c**p day, didn't think anything could cheer me up but you just did. Bit embarrassing laughing out loud in the office though... then having to share the joke.

    If SF and/or Stewart 38 neg rep you I'll counteract it with positive rep.

    Re: Serious Scam Warning

    Here is another scam
    If you get an envelope from a company called HM Revenue & Customs Service, DO NOT OPEN IT! This group operates a scam around this time every year. Their letter claims that you owe them money, which they will take and use to pay for the operation of essential functions of the government. This is untrue! The money the HM Revenue & Customs collects is used to fund various other corporations which depend on subsidies to stay in business.
    This organization has ties to another shady outfit called the Social Security who claim to take money from your regular paychecks and save it for your retirement. Pull the other one
